About u8loc
From Debian's package description
Sometimes it is useful for a program to be able to run a child process and more or less depend on its output being valid UTF-8. This can usually be accomplished by setting one or more environment variables, but there is the question of what to set them to - what UTF-8-capable locale is present on this particular system? This is where the utf8_locale module comes in.
This package provides the u8loc command-line tool.
From Debian's description of the u8loc package, under that package's license.
