3.4 Asian Unicode Locales

The Solaris 8 operating environment also supports four Unicode locales with the same scope as en_US.UTF-8 and the European Unicode locales, with the necessary language and cultural modifications:

• ja_JP.UTF-8 (Japanese)

• ko_KR.UTF-8 (Korean)

• zh_CN.UTF-8 (Simplified Chinese)

• zh_TW.UTF-8 (Traditional Chinese)

Each Asian Unicode locale is tailored to the Asian customer's needs. For example, the Japanese Unicode locale supports additional characters from JIS X0212-1990 at the presentation layer. All existing native Asian input methods and systems are also transparently supported.
