That line is from the locale section of Chapter 9.

if [[ "$TERM" = linux ]]; then
   export LANG=C.UTF-8
else
   export LANG=<ll>_<CC>.<charmap><@modifiers>
fi

What is intended is to replace the items inside the angle brackets.  For instance 
<ll>_<CC> would be replaced with 'fr_FR', <charmap> would be replaced with 
'iso885915' and <@modifiers> would be replaced with '@euro'.

Note that the locale page says:
"Replace <ll> below with the two-letter code for your desired language (e.g., en) and 
<CC> with the two-letter code for the appropriate country (e.g., GB). <charmap> 
should be replaced with the canonical charmap for your chosen locale. Optional 
modifiers such as @euro may also be present."

For US users, that section is not needed at all.
