Set locale to en_US.UTF-8 #16

Open argymeg opened 8 years ago

Setting the container's locale to en_US.UTF-8 (the default is POSIX) enables support for Unicode characters which I believe is useful for many users. It does result in a very slightly bigger image but I think it's a worthy trade-off.

can you give me some example text to test this?

I gladly would, but pasting the offending text works fine, you simply can't directly input it. I specifically face this issue with accented Greek characters (ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ώ, ύ). You could test it by temporarily adding a Greek input layout and pressing ";" + "A" (or E, H, I, O, V, Y). I can only assume it would also happen with other non-standard characters.
