>Description:
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") should not return NULL when the environment variable LANG is set to en_CA (instead of en_CA.ISO8859-1) since ".codeset" is shown between square brackets in the format definition.

from man 3 setlocale:
(...) The format of the locale string is described in nls(7)

from man 7 nls:
(...) The LC_ALL and LANG environment variables also determine the current locale. The values of these environment variables contains a string format as:
      language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]
