The C locale should not have unicode in it. No, I mean the C locale. i.e. The strings in the source code. Using UTF-8 in them is fine as long as they only get passed to UTF-8 safe functions. All GNOME libraries explicitly expect input strings to be in UTF-8. See: http://tecnocode.co.uk/2009/10/01/unicode-in-gnome/ and https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2008-June/msg00112.html. Philip
