Hi Roland,
Sorry for late reply... I thought I replied on this in the past but
I realized now that's not the case since I wasn't able to find any email
reply archived at the JiveForum or mailman email archives...
Unicode 3.1 is the first Unicode standard version starting to have characters
outside of the so-called Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) and Solaris 9 is
the release that we first started to support Unicode 3.1. Since then, yes,
we've been supporting characters of the additional planes.
Here are by the way some info on which version of Solaris supports which
Unicode standard version:
S2.6 Unicode 2.0
S7 Unicode 2.1
S8 Unicode 3.0
S9 FCS Unicode 3.1
S9U4 Unicode 3.2
S10 Unicode 4.0
The next big one that we need to support will be Unicode 5.0 that will be
published sometime late in this year or very early next year.
Ienup
PS. You could do "cat /usr/pub/UTF-8" to see what are the (printable) characters
that we support in each version of Solaris although many will show up as
no-glyph glyphs.
