I cannot test on 9.5, which you are using, but I was able to reproduce the problem on 9.3:
kofadmin@kofdb.localhost=> CREATE DATABASE test TEMPLATE template0 ENCODING 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE 'C' LC_CTYPE 'C';
CREATE DATABASE
kofadmin@kofdb.localhost=> \l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges
-----------+----------+----------+----------------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------
kofdb | kofadmin | UTF8 | English_United States.1252 | English_United States.1252 |
test | kofadmin | UTF8 | C | C |
kofadmin@kofdb.localhost=> \c test
psql (9.6devel, server 9.3.6)
You are now connected to database "test" as user "kofadmin".
kofadmin@test.localhost=> select lower('P'); <-- This works (latin letters)
lower
-------
p
(1 row)
kofadmin@test.localhost=> select lower('И'); <-- This does not work (cyrillic)
lower
-------
И
(1 row)
kofadmin@test.localhost=> \c kofdb
psql (9.6devel, server 9.3.6)
You are now connected to database "kofdb" as user "kofadmin".
kofadmin@kofdb.localhost=> select lower('И'); <-- This works on a DB with another collation and ctype
lower
-------
и
(1 row)
It seems to be a problem with collation and or ctype.
What are the settings of the database on your Linux system where all works correct?
Bye
