UTF8 vs C_LOCALE

If I wanted a multinational database capable of many langauges,and
wanted the most functionality of sorts, order bys, indexes, LIKE, etc,
what is the best encooding?
I would have THOUGHT it would be UTF8, but maybe C_LOCALE?

Is there a chart somewhere showing the main differences between using
C_LOCALE and any other encoding? A nice simple table in the manual
would be really nice. If you give me the particulars, I'll write the table.
