HP-UX 11.0 - 11i Internationalization Features White Paper

Encoding Characters
Unicode 2.1 Support [11.0 patch, 11i v1]

Performance
Applications using Unicode support should see performance comparable to that of 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 [11i v1]
UTF-8 is supported on the Streams PTY driver 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 the eucset (1), ldterm (7), and lp (1) model script for details.
