Locale

This is closely related to unicode but defines what language
is being used by the user.

Environment vaiables...
  LANG="en_AU.UTF-8"    sets all the other LC_types if not set

See the results using the command "locale"

However one should be set to modify bevaviour
  LC_COLLATE=C          sets the sorting order for things like "ls"

For example...

  > LC_COLLATE="C" ls -a
  .  ..  .CCC  .ccc  AAA  BBB  aaa  bbb
  > LC_COLLATE="en_US" ls -a
  .  ..  aaa  AAA  bbb  BBB  .ccc  .CCC

Also may like to set
  LC_TIME=???
Which effects output of dates and times from "date"


XTerms need to be started with a UTF unicode font.
For example.
  xterm -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1

Check with
  wget http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt
