HP-UX 11i Release Notes (December 2000)

New and Changed Internationalization Features
Unicode Character Set
Chapter 15 277
To enable Unicode support in applications, set the environment variable
to a desired utf8 locale.
Locales are installed based on the current language file sets already
installed on the target system. For example, if the system uses the
International.German the German Unicode locale (de_DE.utf8) is
installed.
Source files for ALL supported locales (34 total) have also been supplied
for 64- or 32-bit applications.
To build Unicode locales use the localedef command. Refer to the
localedef (1M) manpage. Systems must have the kernel parameters
MAXDSIZ, MAXTSIZ, and SHMMAX set to at least 100 MB to ensure
adequate swap space allowance for successful localedef compilation of
these locales.
Unicode Euro Enhancement
HP-UX 11i provides expanded Unicode support to align the character
repertoire with the ISO 8859-15 locales that are being provided for Euro
support. This will ensure full interoperability with the newly added
fr_FR.utf8 French
de_DE.utf8 German
it_IT.utf8 Italian
es_ES.utf8 Spanish
