Hello Questions crew, I am wondering how far we have got with Unicode support under FreeBSD; i.e. can I use Unicode (UTF8) as input encoding as an alternative to, say, the various ISO 8859-x variants, on the following levels in the system: - Filesystem (Does FFS support UTF8? The only necessity, in theory, for UTF8 support in the filesystem is that it allows for every character except NULL to occur in filenames. I'm no FFS expert, though.) - System console (Does the system console support UTF8 screen output and/or keystroke conversion? Is UTF8 available as an input encoding on the console? Can I use unicode-based locales?) - X Windows (Can I use an unicode xterm, even when the system console does NOT support unicode?) Thanks in advance Philipp mailto:reichmuth@web.de __________________________ The code was willing / It considered your request / But the chips were weak To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
