p.s. aka FYI: AIX also has the program locale(1), but that gives a lot
less information, imho.

And, maybe also a bit misleading - at least for the ignorant. I would
have expected UTF-8, but instead, it uses EN_US and a symbolic link.

root at x064:[/data/prj/openbsd/mindrot/openssh-7.8.0.20]locale
LANG=EN_US
LC_COLLATE="EN_US"
LC_CTYPE="EN_US"
LC_MONETARY="EN_US"
LC_NUMERIC="EN_US"
LC_TIME="EN_US"
LC_MESSAGES="EN_US"
LC_ALL=

While the default language locale(1) is:

root at x066:[/data/prj/python/python3-3.8]locale
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_ALL=
