Table 54 summarizes the <strong>AIX</strong> keyboards that will be modified to incorporate the<br />

Euro symbol and specifies the placement of the Euro symbol on each European<br />

keyboard. As of the writing of this document, these keyboard placements match<br />

the current recommendation of the EC regarding placement of the Euro symbol<br />

on keyboards.<br />

<strong>AIX</strong> supports two different types of keyboards: low function terminal (LFT) and X<br />

server keyboards. Although these two keyboard maps appear to be the same,<br />

they are separate and distinct.<br />

Low-function terminals (LFTs) support single-byte code-set languages using key<br />

maps. An LFT key map translates a key stroke into a character string in the code<br />

set of the given locale. LFT does not support languages that require multi-byte<br />

code sets. Hence, you will not have any Euro support on behalf of the lft0 pseudo<br />

device driver. However, if you configure your system to use UTF-8 locales to gain<br />

Euro symbol support, you will find by the use of the lskbd command, that the<br />

name of the LFT software keyboard map suggests a multi-byte keyboard map.<br />
