I have no idea what adding UTF8 to the local means. Is this something that Python's locale-awareness does or is it simply recognized by the C library?

It's recognized by the C library, both on Windows and Unix. The full format is

By default, each implies a default , which can be overridden. On Linux, is a IANA name (e.g. de_DE.ISO-8859-15); on Windows, it is a code page (e.g. german_Germany.1252).
