How does UTF-8 support work under Solaris?
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.
