NAME
Danish, danish - Introduction to Danish language support
DESCRIPTION
This reference page describes the coded character set (codeset), locale,
device, and other support for the Danish language.
Codesets
The operating system supports the following codesets for Danish 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.
· UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8
UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8are the strings that represent these encoding
formats in the names of locales or codeset converters. See Unicode(5)
for more information.
· PC code pages
cp850, cp865, and cp1252 are the strings that represent these encoding
formats in the names of codeset converters. See code_page(5) for more
information.
See the i18n_intro(5) and l10n_intro(5) reference pages for introductory
information on codesets. The iconv_intro(5) reference page discusses
codeset converters and how to use them.
Danish Locales
The operating system provides the following Danish locales:
· da_DK.ISO8859-1, da_DK.ISO8859-15, and da_DK.UTF-8 for Denmark
Only the .ISO8859-15 and .UTF-8 locales support the euro character.
You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out if these locales
are installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on setting
locale by using the operating system command line.
For the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you set locale by setting the
session language. To do this, use the Language menu accessed from the
Options button on the Login window.
Keyboards
The operating system supports the following VT style and PC style keyboards
with Danish characters printed on the keys:
_____________________________________________
VT Style (105/108 keys) PC Style (102 keys)
_____________________________________________
LK201-LD LK442-PD

For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load a
keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is appropriate for your keyboard's
model and language. If you load a keymap that does not correspond 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 the
keyboard(5) reference page for general information on keymaps and
instructions for loading them in different formats. The following tables
supply Danish-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. Refer to the keyboard(5) reference page 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 more information about printer
setup options.
