<h1 class="topictitle1">Locale symbolic names</h1>
|
|
<div><p>i5/OS™ supports
|
|
locale symbolic names based on predefined names from the X/Open Standard portable
|
|
character set.</p>
|
|
<p> In addition, i5/OS supports a 5-character alphanumeric
|
|
symbolic name for all characters, in the following situations:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>The first character of the symbolic name is a Latin capital letter U.
|
|
This character identifies that the name is derived from the ISO/IEC 10646
|
|
Universal Coded Character Set.</li>
|
|
<li>The second through fifth characters of the symbolic name represent the
|
|
code point of the character in the ISO/IEC 10646 Universal Coded Character
|
|
Set 2 Level 1. This portion of the symbolic name is assigned by code point
|
|
for ease of creating and changing locales.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>As an example, the question mark (?) character provides the following correlation
|
|
between symbolic naming, UCS2-1 code point, and an IBM-assigned code point:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>The ? character is symbolically represented by <samp class="codeph"><question-mark></samp></li>
|
|
<li>It is at code point <samp class="codeph">U003F</samp> in the ISO 10646 code page</li>
|
|
<li>It is at code point <samp class="codeph">6F</samp> in IBM<sup>®</sup> code page 500.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Mapping of locale symbolic names provides a list of
|
|
all symbolic names supported on i5/OS. The table also provides the UCS2-1
|
|
(ISO 10646) code points, their corresponding IBM code page or code points, and a graphic
|
|
representation of each character.</p>
