i dont remember but a bit ago i was using yay to install something and it logged
Detected locale with C with character encoding ANSI X3.4 1968 instead of utf-8, switching to c.utf-8 since qt depends on utf-8
^ this is likely the issue but idk how to fix it
checking forums this seems to only happen on kde desktops. I had kde installed but i removed it fully and replaced it with i3 (xinitrc file to start) and tty.
things ive tried so far:
re-running sudo locale-gen
editing /etc/locale.conf to include LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8
checking vconsole.conf (yes its set up)
also:
[comeondowntoflorida@arch ~]$ sudo locale-gen
