Available Locales and Supported Character Sets

Language:

The available locales can be classified as recommended locales and additional locales. The following tables summarize the locales available in Oracle Solaris 11.3, including details of the supported character sets wherever appropriate.

Figure 17, Table 17, Recommended Locales – This table provides the list of locales available from the default package system/locale.
Figure 18, Table 18, Additional Locales – This table provides the list of traditional (legacy) locales available from the optional package system/locale/extra.

For more information about managing installed locales, see Adding or Removing Locales by Using nlsadm.

Note - In earlier Oracle Solaris releases, the specification of the ja locale (compatible with older Oracle Solaris releases) was different from the ja_JP.eucJP locale, but the ja locale is now the locale alias for ja_JP.eucJP in Oracle Solaris 11.
