TTY works fine. Thanks.

Impossible. locale() does not support the environment of the TTY
(even if I *know* what is this environment, and why should I?).
Yours,
Ilya
P.S. Let me remind what is an 8-bit-safe program: I come to a TTY.
The keyboard allows me to enter some characters (encoded as
8-bit). The screen is able to show glyphs for these characters.
Given this, I can use
cat >> file
to "edit" a file. Note that I do not care in any way what is
the encoding of these chars... Emacs should be at least as
"smart" as cat.
How should one convince Emacs to be as smart as cat, and why
this is not documented?
