He uses an sv_SE.UTF-8 locale, which appears to be the default on
Redhat 8, if you ask for a Swedish environment.

IMO, UTF-8 locales will replace everything else on Linux in the long
run. Otherwise, system-wide files (and file names) will be restricted
to ASCII forever, and people will not accept not having accented and
CJK characters in /etc/passwd, for their real names. I expect other
Unices to take a similar direction.
