I need to know if Linux kernel 2.4.20 supports internationalization.
I have been thro Markus Kuhn's article on UTF-8 and linux and I understand support for UTF-8 was available from version 1.2.
However, the article also points to Bruno Haible's patches for the keyboard
driver and also the linux console project.
1. So I need to know Linux kernel 2.4.20 supports localization specifically
for the CJK locales, and that the keyboard and terminal/console drivers
do provide Unicode support ?
If not what are the patches that need to be applied for the same ?
2. Also is the regexp support available for these locales, specifically awk, grep etc ?
As far as I understand this, you want to read/write CJK on the Linux console.
