[yocto] How to configure an UTF-8 locale in Yocto?

[Fabio Emiliani]

Dear all,

I'm trying to add an UTF-8 locale to my Yocto build. In detail I'm 
trying to build using the following options:

> GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_GB.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8"
> IMAGE_LINGUAS = "en-gb"
As result of the build I see the en_GB locale but not the en_GB.utf8. 
Why the utf8 encoded version of the locale is not generated?

Looking in the docs I've found several options:

> LOCALE_UTF8_ONLY="1"
> LOCALE_UTF8_IS_DEFAULT="1"
none of them had effects on the build.

I've tried also to include the following packages:

> IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " glibc-utils localedef"
The "locale" tool has been correctly istalled, the tool gives the same 
result of "localectl" (systemd-localed). No utf8 locales detected.

Have you ever used a locale such as en_US.utf or en_GB.utf8 on Yocto? If 
yes, how?

Thanks in advance for your time

Regards,

Fabio Emiliani
