Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Looks like the output might not actually be utf-8?

I don't think that's the case. This warning is generated from the gtk-rs library. I tested it without a gtk-rs project and the warning goes away yet it still gives me

It seems color sequence is read (maybe partially or incorrectly?).
You seem to have to disable colored formatting or to remove color sequences manually from the output.

EDIT: Color can be disabled by -c 0 option.
