For example, to specify the Euro as the currency in the Greek UTF-8 locale, the following
environment variables should be set to enable monetary formatting, such as used by
strfmon (3C):
LANG=el_GR.utf8
LC_MONETARY=el_GR.utf8@euro
Data conversion (iconv) for Greek Euro:
Greek iconv converters have been updated to support the 4 new characters added to
ISO-88597 (see table in Greek locales section) in conversions with UTF-8 and Unicode.
List of converter tables enhanced:
iso87 <-> ucs2
iso87 <-> utf8
Also, new iconv converters have been added to support data conversion between Greek
EBCDIC (code page 875) and UTF-8/Unicode.
List of converter tables added:
greee <-> ucs2
greek <-> utf8
ISO-88597 and Greek EBCDIC converters have been enhanced to support Euro and
have been aligned to match the expected mappings as defined by IBM for code page 875.
List of converter tables modified to align with expected mappings:
greee <-> iso87
The following table shows the modified code mapping changes made in converting from
