Just run /usr/bin/locale in your terminal. The key value is LC_CTYPE, 
which specifies characters and case conversion.

You can test your terminal's ability to handle various locales with a 
simple script:

----- %< -----
#!/bin/bash
LANG=C
for loc in $(locale -a | grep utf8 | sort); do
  echo "Locale: $loc"
  # Aug 1, 2004 was a Sunday, Aug 7 a Saturday
  for n in $(seq 1 7); do
    LANG="$loc" date +"%A (%a)" -d 2004/8/${n}
  done
  for n in $(seq 1 12); do
    LANG="$loc" date +"%B (%b)" -d 2004/${n}/1
  done
  echo
done
----- %< -----
