•TSE
Traditional Chinese UTF-8 locales zh_TW.utf8 and zh_HK.utf8 are supported. On these locales, you
can input, display, and print UTF-8 characters. There is support for characters defined in standards
ISO 10646, CNS 11643 (1992) planes 1, 2, 3 and 4, except for some characters that are not supported
by Unicode 2.1. UDCs and VDCs are not supported. For details, see the document
/usr/share/doc/ASX-UTF8.
USB Traditional Chinese 104 Keyboard is supported for inputting Traditional Chinese characters
with the XTIM input method.
TSE supports printing through the X Print Server to PCL printers.
HP provides support for the HongKong big5 locale zh_HK.big5. HongKong big5 locale is similar to
the Traditional Chinese big5 locale. The differences between these two locales are in monetary and
date/time properties, that reflect local cultural conventions
CDE has been enhanced to support this new locale by providing the required app-defaults to CDE
applications.
Applications must elect to enable big5 support by setting the LANG and/or LC_* environment
variables to the HongKong big5 locale.
Applications using HongKong big5 locales should see the same performance as that for Traditional
Chinese big5.
The size requirement for locale source and binaries is 1.7 MB.
Changed Features
In the JSE, the ‘EISUU’ key mode has changed for the 106/109 keyboard.
In the previous version,
EISUU key, Shift + EISUU (Caps Locks mode) keys, and Alt + EISUU (KANJIBANGOU
mode) keys all worked as
Caps Lock. Now they function as original features of the keys.
