Will there be a difference (and what) between setting the value of the locale variable LC_CTYPE to

en_US.UTF-8 

and

 ru_RU.UTF-8 

?

    so ask the locale program and compare the results:

     $ LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" locale -k LC_CTYPE $ LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8" locale -k LC_CTYPE 

    on my system, the output is identical:

     $ LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" locale -k LC_CTYPE | md5sum 7d8380e3b913432296b6d7027f97c153 - $ LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8" locale -k LC_CTYPE | md5sum 7d8380e3b913432296b6d7027f97c153 -
