In an recent answer to my question about locales, Stéphane suggested 
this:
"set environment variables directly on the container or one of its 
profiles, like:

     lxc config set CONTAINER environment.LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

LXD will then set those environment variables for you every time you 
exec a command inside the container."

Hope that helps.
