3 Locales

The operating system supports the Korean locales shown in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1: Korean Locales

The ko_KR.UTF-8 locale uses the file code and internal process code (wchar_t encoding) defined in ISO 10646 and Unicode standards. The other, non-UTF-8, Unicode locales use UCS-4 as the internal process code. The classification information, however, is not provided for the full set of UCS-4 characters, but only for the characters defined in the Korean locale. The ko_KR.deckorean@ucs4 locale is the same as the other, non-UTF-8, Unicode locales, and is provided for backward compatibility and may be removed in the future. See l10n_intro.5 for more information.

If you are using DECwindows Motif, you can select the locale through the Language Menu of Session Manager. If you are using CDE, you can select the Options option from the CDE login screen and then select the Language submenu. If you are superuser, you can use the SYSMAN I18NCONFIG utility to select a locale and define it as the system default.

The applicable locales are shown in Table 3-2.

3.1   Sorting Behavior In Korean Locales

Beginning with Tru64 UNIX Version 4.0, the DEC Korean locale and the Korean EUC locale have the same collating order and all undefined characters collate after valid characters. This collation prevents intermixing valid characters and undefined characters and removes discrepancies between Korean locales.

The following are value ranges for undefined characters in the DEC Korean and Korean EUC locales:

• 0xA2E6 - 0xA2FE
• 0xA4D4
• 0xA5AB - 0xA5AF
• 0xA5BA - 0xA5C0
• 0xA5D9 - 0xA5E0
• 0xA5F9 - 0xA5FE
• 0xA6Ef - 0XA6FE
• 0xA7F0 - 0xA7FE
• 0xA8A5, 0xA8A7, 0xA8B0
• 0xAAF4 - 0xAAFE
• 0xABF7 - 0xABFE
• 0xACC2 - 0xACD0
• 0xACF2 - 0xACFE
• 0xADA1 - 0xADFE
• 0xAEA1 - 0xAEFE
• 0xAFA1 - 0xAFFE
• 0xC9A1 - 0xC9FE
• 0xF1A1 - 0xF1FD
• 0xFEA1 - 0xFEFE
