Should LANG=C.UTF-8 be the default?

[NobodysNightmare]

Hello,

today I stumbled upon the fact that I wasn't able to type Unicode letters in the terminal and that existing unicode letters were not displayed correctly.

I found this StackOverflow answer as well as #25, which both point me into the same direction: Setting LANG=C.UTF-8 will fix the issue.

Since none of the two places discussed this so far, I want to raise the question why Unicode support is not the default. Are there backwards-compatibility issues with having LANG=C.UTF-8 set as an overwritable default?

Or is this not an issue with the docker images provided here, but rather with Ubuntu itself?
