No, that will be really bad idea to assume iso-8859-1 . It really
depends on the country and language code. For example :

LANG=he_IL.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

If I'll remove the UTF-8 it will be he_IL regardless... but the
encoding will be iso8859-8 ... If you will place iso8859-1, it will
stop working .. I mean you could not use the language your system is
set to.

Any language out there that does not use iso8859-1 will suffer from that ...
