The following sections highlight the changes to locales with the 11i Version 1.6 release of HP-UX.

zh_HK.big5 Locale Renamed to zh_HK.hkbig5

The zh_HK.big5 locale has been renamed to zh_HK.hkbig5 to support the HKSCS specified character repertoire within the big5 encoding. This rename was required because unexpected results in the display of HKSCS characters could occur due to conflicts in the codeset name with the zh_TW.big5 locale.

The behavior for the zh_HK.hkbig5 locale is designed to be upward compatible with that for the zh_HK.big5 locale with the exception of the UDC code area.

New zh_CN.gb18030 Locale Available

A new locale, zh_CN.gb18030 has been introduced to enable support of the GB18030 character set.

Enhancements to the el_GR.utf8 and el_GR.iso88597 Locales

The Greek locales, el_GR.utf8 and el_GR.iso88597 have been enhanced with the addition of 4 new characters; Euro, Drachma Sign, Greek Ypogegrammeni, and the Greek Question Mark.

Also, the el_GR.utf8 locale binaries now ship as part of the release. Previously, only the el_GR.utf8 source file was provided.
