BUG: Need 'windows-1252' encoding for locale names.
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/24760
https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/23638
There are some special characters encoded with 'window-1252' in lists
created by 'locale -a'.  The two know locales with this problem are
Norwegian 'bokmål', and 'français'.
