I looked at the document and I think you are misreading it. My interpretation is that it requires implementations to provide UTF-8 as an option under the "af_ZA ... zh_TW" locales. (In other words, the effect you would get if you wrote "en_US UTF-8" in /etc/locale.gen.) The specification of the C locale seems pretty clear that only 7-bit ASCII is admitted. See, for example, http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xbd/locale.html#tag_005_003 p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
