      To be able to handle unicode characters, I want the default build environment to use a better locale. Right now it uses POSIX, and using en_US.UTF-8 would help.

      #!bash

pipelines:
  branches:
    master:
      - step:
          script:
            - locale

      gives

      #!bash



+ locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

      Workarounds

      One workaround is to create your own docker image like this
      https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/39140980/how-do-i-create-a-docker-image-for-bitbucket-pipelines

      Using a Docker image that can looks something like this:

      #!bash

FROM gcc #Some smart base image
 
# Whatever you need more than what is on the base image required by your project
 
# Set the locale
RUN locale-gen en_US.UTF-8  
ENV LANG en_US.UTF-8  
ENV LANGUAGE en_US:en  
ENV LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8

      Another even easier workaround is to set these environment variables in your build script or Pipelines settings.
