Use the C locale.

<tschwinge> joeyh: What happens if the locale configuration option (ikiwiki.setup) is not a utf8 locale? / Is the C locale utf8?
<tschwinge> joeyh: I want to share a configuration file between different machines, some of which have en_US.uft8 installed and other haven't.
<tschwinge> joeyh: Some have de_DE.utf8, but I don't want to have German language for the discussion subpages, for example.
<tschwinge> joeyh: That's why I thought about simply using the C locale.  But you state that it has to be a utf8 locale.
<joeyh> C locale is the default, will work fine
<joeyh> I think that I said utf-8 in the description there because, if you chose some locale that did not use utf-8 or plain ascii, ikiwiki wo\
uld still use utf-8 for its internals and output a mess
