What is your locale?

I had the same problem with Gajim on a foreign system on which I had set
up “en_GB.utf8”.  After switching to “en_US.utf8” I could start Gajim.
Another possible fix may have been to install the “glibc-locales”
package and set GUIX_LOCPATH as “glibc-utf8-locales” only contains a
narrow subset of all possible locales.
