You can set your locale to be UTF-8 eng8859 or whatever. Don't assume a locale.
This will bite you in the end - pun intended.

You can also test your locale and exit early if setting is not an option.

NAME

       ppud - Pay per use daemon

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       is a daemon that provides system configuration and core usage information to a utility meter system for billing purposes.  This daemon runs
       on Pay per use systems and meters core utilization and system configuration information.  The daemon sends this information  to	a  utility
       meter as an XML file.

       When  a	report	is sent to a utility meter, it is also written to the file /var/ppu/PPUReport.xml.  This report is best viewed using a web
       browser that understands XML.  If the connection to the utility meter fails, the daemon caches the report  data	until  the  connection	is
       restored.

       The daemon re-spawns itself if killed.  The following entry is added to /etc/inittab in order to have start and re-spawn itself:

       The  daemon  is	automatically  started when a system boots if a utility meter has been specified via the command (see ppuconfig(1M)).  The
       daemon does not need to be restarted when the meter configuration is changed via the command.

       The daemon reports errors via syslog.

       To unconfigure Pay per use, execute:

       Warning: if this is a Pay per use system and the daemon is not running, usage reports will not be sent to HP and usage may be assumed to be
       100%.

       The  daemon  performs  periodic operations based on the time of day.  The daemon is spawned by and gets its timezone specification from the
       /etc/default/tz file.  By default the timezone specified in /etc/default/tz is EST5EDT.	You can specify which timezone the daemon uses	to
       interpret its current time by modifying the /etc/default/tz file.  Refer to environ(5)) for details of the format.  A restart of the daemon
       is required before the new timezone value takes effect (i.e.  kill the  /usr/lbin/ppud process).

       For more information see the Pay per use User's Guide located at /usr/share/doc/PayPerUseUserGuide.pdf
