comment What would break if the C locale was UTF-8 instead of ASCII?
The behavior of various syscalls is influenced by the charset of the locale, for example «isupper() will not recognize an A-umlaut (Ä) as an uppercase letter in the default C locale.» (from man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/isprint.3.html). isprint() is another syscall that is influenced as well by the fact that C is defined as ASCII-only.
