[Solved] mc skin problem

Some skins (e.g. modarcon16) in Midnight Commander look not proper way: "Q" instead of frames on left and right panels. I guess it is ncurses unicode problem, but don't know how to solve it.
GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.21 installed from official repository.

Works fine here.
- output of "locale"
- you seem to be using a tmux and a powerline patched font, try w/o either
- lmg: zsh? omz?

seth, thanks. mc frames look correct in urxvt without tmux in bash and zsh. So it is problem with tmux.
With tmux in urxvt:

echo $LC_ALL
[i]empty[/i]

Without tmux in urxvt:

$ echo $LC_ALL
en_US.UTF-8

I have changed LC_ALL manually with 'export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"' in bash. mc works fine. How can I make this change permanently?

LC_ALL is a global override of the locales, it should rather not be set unconditionally at all (raising the question why it is in your urxvt)
Ensure to actually fix your locale system- or at least session-wide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale

System locale didn't set.

/etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Now mc works fine.
