They are only similar in that they share the UTF-8 charmap.

They have different sort orders for LC_COLLATE (C is strictly numeric)
They have different character classes for LC_CTYPE (C restricts to
  POSIX ASCII subset for digit classes, and there are other
  restrictions)

C and en_US are otherwise similar, but you would use C.UTF-8 where
you would have otherwise used the default C locale but with a
UTF-8 charmap rather than ASCII.
