AIX Version 4.3 Differences Guide

An assumption is that the AIX system was installed using the following default
settings for the new and complete override installation for the primary language
environment (RS/6000 Hardware with German keyboard attached):
...
2 Primary Language Environment Settings (AFTER Install):
Cultural Convention ................ English (United States)
Language ........................... English (United States)
Keyboard ........................... German
Keyboard Type ...................... Default
...
Note, the UTF-8 Unicode locales are not available as optional choices for the
primary language environment settings at the time of installation.
After installation the output of the locale command would be:
# locale
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_ALL=
The software keyboard for the lft0 pseudo device driver would be:
# lskbd
The current software keyboard map = /usr/lib/nls/loc/de_DE.lftkeymap
The X server, and hence the Common Desktop Environment, will use the
/usr/lpp/X11/defaults/xmodmap/de_DE/keyboard file to configure the German
keyboard map at startup.
There are two different ways to gain UTF-8 Euro symbol support. Either you
decide to have your system default environment configured to be UTF-8 or you
prefer to offer the locale just as an additional language environment on the
system.
10.5.8.1 Euro UTF-8: Additional Language Environment
In order to activate Euro symbol support using the German UTF-8 locale as an
additional language environment, insert one of the AIX BOS CDs in the CD-ROM
drive, issue the smitty mlang command, select the Add Additional Language
Environments item from the menu, and press Enter. In the Add Additional
Language Environment menu, you enter, by the aide of the F4 function key, the
UTF-8 German[DE_DE] identifier in the appropriate entry fields as shown in Figure 56
on page 274.
