find -printf %c

[Dan Jacobson]

I thought find's -printf:

`c'
     locale's date and time (Sat Nov 04 12:02:33 EST 1989)

If so, why does ls pick up on the locale and print Chinese, whilst
find doesn't?

$ ls -l --full-time index.html 
-rw-r--r--    1 jidanni  jidanni      1047 二 05 21 07:25:51 2002 index.html
$ find index.html -printf "%c\n"
Tue May 21 07:25:51 2002

Oh, because it is easy not to remember that 
"   Below are the formats for the directives `%A', `%C', and `%T', "
because it doesn't appear on the same page as 'c', one might think 'c'
is '%c' which it apparently also is... anyways, I tried "%Tc" and the
locale still isn't there though it is for ls.

I am purposely not doing
$ env
for your reference.
I am telling you that GNU ls has a different locale standard than GNU find.
