No. This is wrong.
Locale != Charset. Please do not confuse both. Locale provides cultural
sensitive information such as day names, month names, etc. Charset provides
a mapping along with an algorithm to bytes to glyphs.
en_US is a  Locale and UTF-8 is a Charset.
Please do not modify charset.alias, charset.alias provides a mapping between
the canonical name of a converter to its alias for iconv.

Instead a better way to deal the problem is to set
LC_ALL or LANG  en_US.UTF-8

For more information on locale naming conventions please see:

Well, you could do "en_US ISO-8859-1"
