Locale Recommendations for UNIX When Using UTF-8

Locale Recommendations for UNIX When Using UTF-8

Many UNIX systems use incompatible character encodings to represent their local alphabets as binary data. This means that, for example, a string of text from a Korean system cannot be viewed in a Chinese system. However, you can configure UNIX systems to use UTF-8 encoding for any language. UTF-8 text encoding supports multiple languages so that one language does not interfere with another.
To configure the system locale settings to use UTF-8, perform the following steps:
  1. Run the following command: 
    locale -a
  2. Determine whether you can find a locale for your language with the suffix 
    .utf8
    . 
    localedef -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.utf8
  3. If you have a locale that allows UTF-8, instruct the UNIX system to use that locale. 
    Export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
export LANG="en_US.utf8"
export LANGUAGE="en_US.utf8"
