(user-full-name) without any arguments just returns the variable user-
full-name, which is encoded in Emacs internal encoding once set. It
is probably initialised from your environment. which will be decoded
using locale-coding-system.

I'm not sure what has precedence, but some of the LC_* environment
variables also affect locale-coding-system, as will calling set-
language-environment from your .emacs.
