Ubuntu has defaulted to UTF-8 locales since 5.04 – the second release ever made.

If you have a box that has old non-unicode locales set up, it'd be interesting to know how it got into that state. If you want to fix it you could try the recommendations in the 5.04 upgrade guide.

For all the Ubuntu boxes I've set up in recent memory, unicode locales have been selected by default.
