The test is:
$ locale charmap
Aside from anything else, that confirms that LC_CTYPE is exported to the
environment where it can be seen by applications, instead of just being
a shell variable. ("set | fgrep LC_CTYPE" to see if it's exported)
If "locale charmap" doesn't report UTF-8, then the value is bad; since
the value you show is supposed to be valid on FreeBSD, you'll need to
look in /usr/share/locale/ at the directory-names to see which are
installed.
