Problems Affecting non-C Locales

The English and Japanese versions of the STK bundled with HP-UX 11i
may contain differing documentation (the STK tools are identical for
both languages). To verify that you have the latest Japanese
documentation set, view these Web sites:
devresource.hp.com/STK_ja_JP.SJIS
devresource.hp.com/STK_ja_JP.eucJP
See "Selected locale not available" on page 101.
The trial version of Netscape Communicator provided with HP-UX 11i
OEs has these problems with several Asian locales, including Japanese,
Korean and Chinese:
• Asian-character input is not allowed in several dialogs.
• Asian characters are not be displayed properly in some dialogs where
a font switch is not available.
You may encounter the following problems when trying to handle Asian
character-codes with Perl15.005_03 bundled with HP-UX 11i:
• In case of Japanese Shift-JIS code and T-Chinese BIG5 code,
characters containing 0x5c will not be displayed correctly unless you
add the backslash character (\).
• In case of EUC-JP code, translation commands such as tr may not
work properly.
For example, when you try to convert a double-byte Hiragana
character to a double-byte Katakana character, you may find the
character itself has been changed, not just the type.
Action: Get the patch jperl5.005_03 and apply it to Perl. This patch is
open source and available at number of non-HP FTP sites.
