gettext contains libintl.h. That header file defines a macro that replaces `setlocale` by `libintl_setlocale`. That function eventually calls the original `setlocale()` from Apple's libc, but is known to make it fail. Mac users with gettext from Homebrew can easily reproduce this: #include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> #include <libintl.h> int main(void) { setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); printf("locale: %s\n", setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL)); } Compile and run it: cc -I/usr/local/opt/gettext/include -L/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib -lintl -o test test.c && ./test When $LC_CTYPE is set to a valid value like UTF-8, it should output: locale: UTF-8 But it does not. It returns C anyway. Remove libintl.h and recompile and you get the expected UTF-8. Fixes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/9787
