You could do

commit -m "nonsense" --allow-empty

on current master, do your tests, and afterwards do

git reset --hard HEAD~1

to remove the commit.  It's also likely that some setting of

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

or similar might work, but that's not a given.  The particular
invocation that should do the trick is system dependent.
