HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 Release Notes

Internationalization
Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set (HKSCS)
Chapter 9
168
Common Desktop Environment (CDE):
CDE provides the same level of support for the zh_HK.hkbig5 locale as
was provided at HP-UX 11i v1.0 for the zh_TW.big5 locale.
User Defined Character (UDC):
The xudced, an UDC editor to create/modify UDC files, has been
enhanced to work with the zh_HK.hkbig5 locale. When the locale is
designated, it starts with the first code point defined by HKSCS.
Created UDCs can be printed on above printers using the udc or udcf
option.
Impact
Base offering (installed on all systems); Approximately 7MB additional disk space is
required.
No additional memory requirements are needed for running in the zh_HK.hkbig5 locale.
Compatibility
The zh_HK.big5 locale provided in HP-UX 11i is now renamed to zh_HK.hkbig5 in
HP-UX 11i v1.6 and future releases to avoid display conflicts due to the codeset name
overlap with the zh_TW.big5 locale.
Any application that expected the zh_HK.big5 locale name in HP-UX 11i v1.0 should
now use the zh_HK.hkbig5 locale instead for HP-UX 11i v1.6 and later releases.
The behavior for zh_HK.hkbig5 is designed to be upward compatible with that for
zh_HK.big5 with the exception of the UDC code area.
Performance
There is no impact to performance.
Obsolescence
Not applicable.
Documentation
No documentation changes were necessary.
