Not for me:
$ cat > setl.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <langinfo.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *loc;
if (argc > 1)
loc = setlocale (LC_ALL, argv[1]);
else
loc = setlocale (LC_CTYPE, NULL);
printf ("locale: %s charset: %s\n", loc, nl_langinfo (CODESET));
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc -o setl setl.c
$ ./setl
locale: C charset: ANSI_X3.4-1968
$ ./setl C
locale: C charset: ANSI_X3.4-1968
$ ./setl C.utf8
locale: C.utf8 charset: UTF-8
$ ./setl C.UTF-8
locale: C.UTF-8 charset: UTF-8
