Manpages version 3.44-0ubuntu1 distribution Linux Mint 15. In man 7 ascii, there is the following sentence: > Many 8-bit codes (such as ISO 8859-1, the Linux default character set) > contain ASCII as their lower half. Locales now use UTF-8 by default. This sentence should probably be changed to something explaining how UTF-8 works, like: > Many 8-bit codes contain ASCII as their lower half. The Linux default > character set, UTF-8, fits thousands of characters through non-ASCII > characters using more than one upper-half byte. Or something like that, I'm no expert. -- Duncan de Wet -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
