It's good.

Hmmm, It is a difficult problem.
I think selecting UTF-8 is good because eucJP is legacy.
But, for interoperability with other UNIX-like system(*), I don't
think selecting UTF-8 is good.
* Solaris: ja, ja_JP -> eucJP
* Linux (Debian): ja -> Unknown, ja_JP -> eucJP
I need to think more...
