In my case it was because I used the “trivial-build-system”. Unlike the “gnu-build-system” it does not have a build phase which installs a UTF-8 locale. The way around it was to reuse the locale setting code in the “install-locale” phase. This probably won’t help you as you are already using the “gnu-build-system” so the build phases should run in a UTF-8 locale. Could it be that the file is not UTF-8 encoded and you really need some other encoding? ~~ Ricardo
