Description of problem:

In Fedora 21 there are two locales: bokmal and bokmål (the second one includes U+00E5 character, "a" with ring above). (One of them is probably an alias.)

"locale -a" prints "bokmål" incorrectly: its outputs is always ISO-8859 text ("å" encoded as byte E5), regardless of current locale.

It has some unwanted effects. For example, "grep" treats "locale -a" output as a binary file:

    $ locale -a | grep en_US
    Binary file (standard input) matches

If current locale is an UTF-8 one, I would expect "locale -a" prints correct UTF-8 text ("å" encoded as two bytes C3 A5), not ISO-8859.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 21
glibc-common-2.20-7.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. unset all LC_* environment variables, if any.
2. export LANG=en_US.utf8 (or any other UTF-8 locale)
3. locale -a > locales.txt
4. file locales.txt

Actual results:

locales.txt: ISO-8859 text

Expected results:

locales.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text
