📄 Description

Without setting a specific *.UTF-8 locale, things default to C,
which uses a US-ASCII character encoding.

Default installs of at least OpenBSD (and likely other systems)
fall into this category, and asciinema refuses to run at all.

This is asciinema after all... it should support ascii!
