Locale issues when installing MSSQL on Redhat 8

Today I was installing Microsoft SQL Server on Redhat 8, followning these instructions:
Install Link

During the setup of the server, I was having issues due to unknown locale UTF 8

I had to set the locale to a specific one, which I did using the following:

export LC_CTYPE=en_ZA.utf8

After that, it worked fine.
