Vague memory tells me it's ISO8859-2. I use LC_CTYPE=iso_8859_1, as in my
/usr/share/locale directory (this is under NetBSD) I have

% ls /usr/share/locale
de es iso_8859_1 nl pl sl
el fr ko no ru sv
% ls /usr/share/locale/iso_8859_1
LC_CTYPE

I don't know where I would find nor how to write an appropriate LC_CTYPE
file - never needed to, and never tried --enable-locale - I just set LC_CTYPE
for nice keyboard sequences.

There's only one way to find out!

Good luck,
