New and Changed Internationalization Features
Unicode Character Set
Chapter 15 279
Performance Issues
Applications using Unicode support should see comparable performance
as observed with other multibyte codesets. For those applications moving
from a single-byte codeset to Unicode, some performance impact will be
observed for some types of character-based operations.
Streams PTY Driver
UTF-8 is supported on the Streams PTY driver’s line discipline
(LDTERM) module. The user does not interact with the Streams PTY
driver directly; it runs underneath the dtterm window. The Streams
PTY driver is responsible for providing a UTF-8 communication channel
while dtterm is responsible for processing the UTF-8 code and
displaying the characters on the screen.
Refer to eucset (1), ldterm (7) and the lp (1) model script for details.
