If I understand the discussion so far correctly, I think that case 
should fall to the provider.

If it supports "C.UTF-8" explicitly as some distributions do, then use it.

If the provider has no such thing, throw an error.

Somewhere we should document that "C.UTF-8" from the provider might not 
be as stable or working as they expect.
