NAME
       Icelandic, icelandic - Introduction to Icelandic language support

DESCRIPTION
       This  reference	page  describes	 the  coded  character	set (codeset),
       locale, device, and other support for the Icelandic language.

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the following codesets for	 Icelandic  by
       means of locales, codeset converters, or both: ISO 8859-1 (ISO Latin-1)

	      ISO8859-1	 is  the  string  that	represents this codeset in the
	      names of locales and codeset converters.	See  iso8859-1(5)  for
	      more information.	 ISO 8859-15 (ISO Latin-9)

	      ISO8859-15  is  the  string  that represents this codeset in the
	      names of locales and codeset converters. See  iso8859-15(5)  for
	      more information.	 UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8

	      UTF-16,  UCS-4,  and  UTF-8 are the strings that represent these
	      encoding formats in the names of codeset	converters.  See  Uni‐
	      code(5) for more information.  PC code pages

	      cp850,  cp861,  cp865, and cp1252 are the strings that represent
	      these encoding fomats in the names of codeset  converters.   See
	      code_page(5) for more information.

       See  i18n_intro(5)  and	l10n_intro(5)  for introductory information on
       codesets. See iconv_intro(5) for a discussion of codeset converters and
       how to use them.

   Icelandic Locales
       The   operating	 system	 provides  the	following  Icelandic  locales:
       is_IS.ISO8859-1 and is_IS.ISO8859-15 is_IS.UTF-8

	      UTF-8 locales  support  file  code  and  internal	 process  code
	      according	 to  ISO  10646	 and  Unicode standards. File code, in
	      UTF-8 locales, may include characters encoded  in	 more  than  1
	      byte;  therefore,	 use  these  locales  in applications that can
	      process multibyte data.

       The is_IS.ISO8859-15 and is_IS.UTF-8 locales support the euro  monetary
       symbol; see euro(5).

       You  can	 use  the  locale  command  (see  locale(1)) to find out which
       locales are installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information
       on setting a locale from the operating system command line.

       In  the	Common	Desktop Environment (CDE), you need to set a locale by
       setting the session language. To do this, from the Options menu of  the
       Login  window,  choose  Language. Then, from the Language options menu,
       choose a session language.

   Keyboards
       The operating system supports the  following  PC-style  keyboards  with
       Icelandic characters printed on the keys:

       ────────────────────
       PC-Style (102 keys)
       ────────────────────
       LK471-CQ
       LK97W-CQ
       ────────────────────

       For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load
       a keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is  appropriate  for  your  key‐
       board's	model  and language. If you load a keymap that does not corre‐
       spond to your keyboard's model and language, your keyboard behavior  is
       unpredictable.  The  label  located on the bottom surface of a keyboard
       usually specifies its model (five-letter code) and language (two-letter
       code).  See keyboard(5) for general information on keymaps and instruc‐
       tions for loading them in different formats.  The following table  sup‐
       plies   Icelandic-specific  information	that  you  need	 when  loading
       keymaps.

       Selecting keymaps in xkb format or xmodmap format:

       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       For PC-Style Keyboard:	Select:
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       LK471-CQ			icelandic lk471cq or lk471
       LK97W-CQ			icelandic lk97wcq or lk97w
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       Keyboards can have keys with characters printed on both	the  left  and
       right  half of the keycap. The way you set or use your keyboard to send
       different sets of characters varies from one keyboard model to another.
       Furthermore,  your  keyboard  allows  you to enter more characters than
       those printed on the keycaps. See keyboard(5) for information on how to
       enter characters.
