Japanese Localization
This section describes Japanese locale-specific information.
Japanese Locales
Four Japanese locales, which support different character encodings, are available in the Solaris 9 environment. The ja and ja_JP.eucJP locales are based on the Japanese EUC. The ja_JP.eucJP locale conforms to the UI-OSF Japanese Environment Implementation Agreement Version 1.1 and the ja locale conforms to the traditional specification from earlier Solaris releases. The ja_JP.PCK locale is based on PC-Kanji code (known as Shift_JIS) and the ja_JP.UTF-8 is based on UTF-8.
See the eucJP(5) man page for a map between Japanese EUC and the character set. See the PCK(5) man page for the map between PC-Kanji code and the character set.
Japanese Character Sets
The supported Japanese character sets are:
JIS X 0201-1976
JIS X 0208-1990
JIS X 0212-1990
JIS X 0213-2000 (only characters defined in Unicode 3.1)
JIS X 0212-1990 is not supported in the ja_JP.PCK locale. JIS X 0213-2000 is supported in the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale only. Not all characters defined in the JIS X 0213-2000 are available. Only those characters defined in the Unicode 3.1 character set are available.
Vendor-defined characters (VDC) and user-defined characters (UDC) are also supported. VDCs occupy unused (reserved) code points of JIS X 0208-1990 or JIS X 0212-1990. UDCs occupy the same code points as VDCs, except those code points allocated for VDCs.
Japanese Fonts
Three Japanese font formats are supported: bitmap, TrueType and Type1. The Japanese Type1 font includes only JIS X 0212 for printing. The Type1 font is also used by UDC.
Japanese bitmap fonts are described in the following table.

Japanese Input Systems
ATOK12 is the default Japanese input system in the Solaris 9 environment. It is available for all Japanese locales and all UTF-8 locales when the Japanese locale is installed. The Wnn6 Japanese input system is also available for all Japanese locales. You can switch input systems from the Workspace menu. For Japanese Solaris 1.x BCP support, the kkcv Japanese input system is available.
The following example describes how you would input Japanese input using ATOK12.
Turn conversion mode on by pressing Control + spacebar.
Type Kana character text (for example kanjihenkan).
Convert to kanji character by pressing the spacebar.
To display other kanji characters, press the space bar to display the conversion candidate table. Type the number you want to select.
To commit the entire text to kanji character text, press return.
Press the down arrow key to commit only selected characters.
Turn conversion mode off by pressing Control + spacebar.
