On Mac, you almost definitely want to use UTF-8 encoding, since the
terminal is utf8, as is the filesystem. So if you do:

export LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"

I put this in my .zshrc and .bashrc files. So that when I start the
terminal, it sets up everything correctly.

You may want to set some of the other ones, too. I'm a little surprised
to see LC_ALL set, since usually that is the "override everything for
this command" env var.
