NAME
       Russian, russian - Introduction to Russian language support

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

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the following  codesets  for  Russian  by
       means  of  locales,  codeset  converters,  or  both:  ISO  8859-5  (ISO
       Latin/Cyrillic)

	      ISO8859-5 is the string that  represents	this  codeset  in  the
	      names  of	 locales  and codeset converters. See iso8859-5(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

	      cp855, cp866, and cp1251 are the strings	that  represent	 these
	      encoding	formats	 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.

   Locales
       The  operating  system  provides	  the	following   Russian   locales:
       ru_RU.ISO8859-5

	      The  ru_RU.ISO8859-5@ucs4	 variant  of  this  locale  exists for
	      applications that need to convert file data in ISO8859-5	format
	      to UCS-4 process code for certain character-classification oper‐
	      ations.  ru_RU.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 UTF-8 locale supports the euro mone‐
	      tary 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 VT-style and PC-style  key‐
       boards with Russian characters printed on the keys:

       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       VT-Style (105/108 keys)	 PC-Style (102 keys)
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       LK411-BT			 LK471-BT
       LK461-BT			 LK47W-BT
       LK46W-BT			 LK97W-BT
				 PCXAL-HT
				 PCXAL-LT
				 PCXAL-PT

				 PCXAL-QT
				 PCXAL-ST
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────

       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-let‐
       ter  code).  See	 keyboard(5)  for  general  information on keymaps and
       instructions for loading	 them  in  different  formats.	The  following
       tables  supply  Russian-specific information that you need when loading
       keymaps.

       Selecting keymaps in xkb format:

       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       For VT-Style		For PC-Style
       Keyboard:      Select:	Keyboard:      Select:
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       LK461-BT	      lk461	LK47W-BT       lk471bt or lk471
       LK46W-BT	      lk461	LK97W-BT       lk97wbt or lk97w

				PCXAL-QT       pcxalqt
				PCXAL-ST       pcxalst
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       Selecting keymaps in xmodmap format:

       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       For VT-Style			For PC-Style
       Keyboard:      Select:		Keyboard:      Select:
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       LK411-BT	      russian lk411bt	LK471-BT       russian pcxalht
       LK461-BT	      russian lk411bt	LK47W-BT       russian pcxalht
       LK46W-BT	      russian lk411bt	PCXAL-HT       russian pcxalht
					PCXAL-LT       russian pcxallt
					PCXAL-PT       russian pcxalpt
					PCXAL-QT       russian pcxallt
					PCXAL-ST       russian pcxallt
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       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
       The  PostScript	fonts  available  for  languages  supported by the ISO
       8859-5 codeset are listed in iso8859-5(5).

       See i18n_printing(5) for a discussion of printer support options.
