American English Unicode (en_US.UTF-8) Full Locale

Beginning with Solaris 8, all Unicode locales benefit from Asian locale's native Asian input systems and methods. To use Asian native input methods in Unicode locales, you must install the Asian locales that you want to use. For example, if you want to use Japanese input systems in Unicode locales, you must install at least one of the available Japanese locales.

This locale should be already on your system if you've installed "End User System Support" meta-cluster or added an upper meta-cluster such as "Developer System Support" or "Entire Distribution" during the installation. To find out if you have the locale, run the command

  • % ls /usr/lib/locale/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8.so.1
If the file is in the directory, the locale is in place. If the file is not in the directory then, add the packages below.
