If you have a look at the comments in /etc/locale.gen it explains where to
find suitable notation for locale name, charset, and it also provides a
default list of supported combinations:
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
In there we find:
$ grep -i en_gb /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1
I recall in the past having had a similar problem and as you say, once you set
it up correctly it just works. :-) I don't know what the difference is
between lower/upper case notation for the charset, but having set it up in
capitals seems to work here. Note, I don't have any lower case charset in /
etc/locale.gen.
$ eselect locale list
Available targets for the LANG variable:
[1] C
[2] C.utf8
[3] POSIX
[snip ... ]
[7] en_GB
[8] en_GB.iso88591
[9] en_GB.utf8
[10] en_US
[11] en_US.iso88591
[12] en_US.utf8
[13] en_GB.UTF-8 *
