unicode

UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,

I have some software I need to install on HP-UX 11iv1 64bit but it must not be set up in unicode mode. I know unicode/ ASCII etc. I don't know how to get unix to switch between these. Is there an environment setting for that? I use the Korn shell.

Thanks.

try kbd_mode -a for ascii -u for unicode -s for scancode -k for keycode..
you must use an option to set the keyboard.. but there is problem as I found out the hard way.. if you set your keyboard to another mode it might freeze the system..

quote man kbd_mode:
" Warning: changing the keyboard mode, other than between ASCII and Unicode, will probably make your keyboard unusable. This command is only meant for use (say
via remote login) when some program left your keyboard in the wrong state. Note that in some obsolete versions of this program the "-u" option was a synonym
for "-s".

try apropos keyboard coversion
man kbd_rate.

moxxx68, this is an HP-UX question.

rein, type "locale" to see what language you are using. And "locale -a" will display all of the options. Do a "man lang" as well. You want to be using C or POSIX.
