The problem was that the locale was set incorrectly.
# printenv |grep LANG LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANG needs to be set to en_US not en_US.UTF-8. See your disto's documentation on how to do that. For gentoo, see below.
resetting LANG local variable in gentoo
show current locale setting
# eselect locale list |grep *$ [786] en_US.UTF-8 *
show en_US local number
# eselect locale list |grep "en_US " [230] en_US
set locale to en_US
# eselect locale set 230 Setting LANG to en_US ... Run ". /etc/profile" to update the variable in your shell.
