Base Unicode offering (installed on all systems): Approximately 10MB.
Performance Issues
Applications using Unicode support should see comparable performance as observed
with other multibyte codesets. For those applications moving from a single-byte codeset
to Unicode, some performance impact will be observed for some types of character-based
operations.
Streams PTY Driver
UTF-8 is supported on the Streams PTY driver’s line discipline (LDTERM) module. The
user does not interact with the Streams PTY driver directly; it runs underneath the
dtterm window. The Streams PTY driver is responsible for providing a UTF-8
communication channel while dtterm is responsible for processing the UTF-8 code and
displaying the characters on the screen.
Refer to eucset (1), ldterm (7) and the lp (1) model script for details.
