You got used to ASCII, like all the old-timers... ;)
export LANG=C is your solution.

By the way, I noticed that with the default locale C.UTF-8 the 
nl_langinfo(CODESET) C function <langinfo.h> returns wrongly 
"ISO-8859-1", while if I set LANG to nl_NL.UTF-8 nl_langinfo(CODESET) 
returns correctly "UTF-8".

The locale command returns LC_ CTYPE="C.UTF-8" and LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8".
