Although CP1251 is explicitly mentioned in the mk_MK locale file the locale/charset combination isn't actually compiled as it is missing from glibc/localedata/SUPPORTED. Here is how I made this locale/charset combination available on my system: # mkdir /usr/local/lib/locale # mkdir -p /usr/local/share/i18n/charmaps # zcat /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/CP1251.gz \ > /usr/local/share/i18n/charmaps/CP1251 # localedef -f /usr/local/share/i18n/charmaps/CP1251 \ -i /usr/share/i18n/locales/mk_MK /usr/local/lib/locale/mk_MK.cp1251 # localedef --add-to-archive /usr/local/lib/locale/mk_MK.cp1251 $ export LANG=mk_MK.CP1251 $ echo -e "\x85." | sed -e 's/[[:punct:]]/x/g' xx Same approach can be taken for other locale/charset combinations (f.e. en_US.CP1252).
