Hi,

HP-UX 11.0 Extension Pack provides system level support for the Unicode 2.1/ISO-10646 character set.

Use iconv routine to translate unicode characters. man 3c iconv for more information.

There is a system utility also called iconv to convert at the command line. man 1 iconv for more information.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Is HP-UX 11.0 Extension Pack a priced product ? Or is it available in one of the application CDs ?

In a C program, what are the Data Types and Unicode compatible calls to be used ?

Where is this information available for HP-UX environment ?

Hi,

Installing and Updating HP-UX 11.0 Extension Pack, May 1999 (HP-UX 11.0):

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B3782-90728/B3782-90728.html

As I recall, you can request for the latest Extension Pack for free. However, they may no longer call it Extension Pack. I notice from docs.hp.com that the instructions are only for Extension Pack dated May 1999.

Hope this helps. Regards.
