This happened whenever routine 'terminal-encoding.c' option had been
commented out of the encoding menu possibilities.
This was done without any comment in the code of the actual reason why
this had been done or what replaced it functionality.

static const struct {
const char *charset;
const char *name;
} encodings[] = {
// { "UTF-8", N_("Current Locale") }, <--- !!!!!
{ "ISO-8859-1", N_("Western") },
