Traditional Chinese in the Solaris 7 product provides two locales: zh_TW and zh_TW.BIG5. In the zh_TW locale, the EUC scheme is used to encode CNS 11643.1992 codeset. The zh_TW.BIG5 locale supports the Big-5 codeset.

Traditional Chinese is used mostly in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Traditional Chinese supports the following input methods:

Chuyin
I-Tien
Telecode
TsangChieh
