Locales are a mechanism of the GNU C Standard Library implementation (Glibc). As such Termux cannot make use of locales. |

@TomJo2000 I gather glibc for iconv and bionicC for stdio. Appreciated. |

Where does iconv, and terminal display of stdio, get locale in linux?
Where is the locale's "codepage" stored? I know the kernel may have one of ISO, C99, or Unicode somewhere in there yet not sure if these have reference when using iconv in termux. I suspect the in kernel codepage has bearing on terminal stdio display; is anybody sure on this? On android it may be hard to find the in kernel locale without a kernel config file.
iconv -l displays a long list of many locales to begin sorting this out where are the codepages of iconv -l stored?
