Since KOI7 is not used by any glibc locale, your use case is now extinct. I think that, unless someone finds out a different use case, these SI and SO characters should be deactivated completely (and not just in unicode mode). -- Alexander E.

Alan, do you agree that the entire SI/SO can/should be removed? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

SI/SO is also relevant for line draw characters and the like. Here is a key for the default set in my (X11) term emulator, I presume it is the same as what the console supports: _ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~ ▮ ◆ ▒ ␉ ␌ ␍ ␊ ° ±  ␋ ┘ ┐ ┌ └ ┼ ⎺ ⎻ ─ ⎼ ⎽ ├ ┤ ┴ ┬ │ ≤ ≥ π ≠ £ · Those are important, and the console should continue to support them even when not in UTF-8 mode. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos(a)jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

VT line drawing characters are generally assumed to be accessible using SI/SO (as they are by default.) -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
