Simplified Chinese Localization

Simplified Chinese in the Solaris 8 environment provides three locales: zh, zh.UTF-8, and zh.GBK. In the zh locale, the EUC scheme is used to encode GB2312-80. The zh.GBK locale supports the GBK codeset, which is a superset of GB2312-80.

Simplified Chinese is used mostly in the People's Republic of China (PRC) and in Singapore.

The following input methods are supported for the zh locale:

• New QuanPin

• New ShuangPin

• Quanpy

• Location

• PinYin

• Stroke

• Golden

• Intelligent Pinyin

• Simplified Chinese Symbol

The following input methods are supported for both the zh.GBK and the zh.UTF-8 locales:

• New QuanPin

• New ShuangPin

• Quanpy

• GBK Code

• Japanese

• Hanja

• Zhuyin

• Unicode
