10.3.3.5 Layout Services<br />

A single layout object, /usr/lib/nls/loc/methods/uni_layout.o, has been provided<br />

that will format Unicode characters according to the following sets of rules:<br />

• For Hebrew and Arabic, characters are presented according to the<br />

bidirectional behavior rules as presented in the Unicode 2.0 standard, section<br />

3.11.<br />

• For Vietnamese, combining sequences that correspond to characters in the<br />

Unicode range U+1EA0 through U+1EF9 have been changed to their<br />

precombined forms for presentation purposes.<br />

• Simple combining sequences for characters in the Basic Latin and Latin A<br />

extensions shall be honored and altered to the precomposed forms for<br />

presentation (that is, characters less than U+01FF).<br />

• Where fonts exist to do so, combining sequences other than those mentioned<br />

above are presented as show hidden sequences.<br />

• An optional layout engine that formats Korean according to the rules in<br />

Section 3.10 of the Unicode Standard.<br />

10.3.4 Installation and Packaging<br />

The following is true regarding installation and packaging:<br />

• Unicode-based locales are selectable for install from SMIT and from the BOS<br />

install menus.<br />

• Any locale support that is common to all UTF-8 Unicode based platforms is<br />

packaged and shipped in the fileset bos.loc.com.utf.<br />

• Each Unicode based locale is packaged as bos.loc.XX_XX, where XX_XX is<br />

the language designation (that is, EN_US, FR_FR, and so on).<br />

• If locale-specific X11 resources are necessary, they are packaged as<br />

X11.loc.XX_XX, as appropriate.<br />

• Translated message filesets have been created for all Unicode-based locales<br />

that directly correspond with a translatable <strong>AIX</strong> language. For example,<br />

bos.msg.KO_KR was created for Korean messages in the Unicode-based<br />

locale.<br />

• See 10.3.5, “List of Supported Unicode Locales” on page 249 for a list of<br />

supported Unicode locales.<br />
