NAME
       Italian, italian - Introduction to Italian language support

DESCRIPTION
       This  reference	page  describes the codeset, locale, device, and other
       kinds of support for the Italian language.

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the following coded character sets (code‐
       sets) for Italian 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 locales and codeset converters.
	      See Unicode(5) for more information.  PC code pages

	      cp437, cp850, and cp1252 are the strings	that  represent	 these
	      encoding	 formats   in	the   names  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 information on codeset converters and
       how to use them.

   Locales
       The  operating  system  supports	  the	following   Italian   locales:
       it_IT.ISO8859-1, it_IT.ISO8859-15, and it_IT.UTF-8 for Italy

       The  it_IT.ISO8859-15  and  it_IT.UTF-8 locales use the euro symbol for
       currency. Because the it_IT.ISO8859-1 locale repertoire does  not  con‐
       tain the euro symbol, it continues to use the lire currency symbol.

       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 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 VT style and PC style  key‐
       boards with Italian characters printed on the keys:

       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       VT Style (105/108 keys)	 PC Style (102 keys)
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       LK411-AI			 LK471-AI
       LK450-AI			 LK47W-AI
       LK451-AI			 LK97W-AI
       LK461-AI			 PCXAL-AI
       LK46W-AI			 PCXAL-FI
				 PCXAL-GI

				 PCXAL-KI
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────

       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 tables sup‐
       ply Italian-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

       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.

   Printers
       PostScript fonts for languages supported by the ISO 8859-1 codeset  are
       printer	resident.  See	i18n_printing(5)  for  a general discussion of
       printer support options.
