Have these locales been generated? After editing locale.gen, you have to run `locale-gen` as root.

Where are these locale variables set?
If they are in your `.bashrc`, it could be that your terminals do not have the proper variables -- for example,
awesome LANG=""
└── xterm LANG="" - expects ISO-8859-1
└── bash LANG="en_US.UTF-8" - emits UTF-8
└── mc LANG="en_US.UTF-8" - emits UTF-8
-- causing the terminal to expect a different charset than the one `mc` uses.
You can check using ` tr "\0" "\n" < /proc/$PPID/environ ` in a new terminal (where $PPID should expand to the PID of xterm/sakura/whatever).
