How does UTF-8 support work under Solaris?

0

Starting with Solaris 2.8, UTF-8 is at least partially supported. To use it, just set one of the UTF-8 locales, for instance by typing setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8 in a C shell. Now the dtterm terminal emulator can be used to input and output UTF-8 text and the mp print filter will print UTF-8 files on PostScript printers. The en_US.UTF-8 locale is at the moment supported by Motif and CDE desktop applications and libraries, but not by OpenWindows, XView, and OPENLOOK DeskSet applications and libraries. For more information, read Sun’s Overview of en_US.UTF-8 Locale Support web page.
