Public bug reported:

when LC_ALL is en_HK.UTF-8, Xlib cannot use locale. This make me not
able to use locale-aware applications such as input methods at that
locale. There are no problems with other en locales such as en_GB.UTF-8

[michael@kubuntu ~]$ LC_ALL=en_HK.UTF-8 xeyes
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
^C
[michael@kubuntu ~]$ LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 xeyes
^C
