Changing Default Character Encoding on Mac
In accordance with a strong request by faculty members, we will change the default character encoding on Mac to UTF-8 in the morning of March 25. Please confirm the table below.
【Shared Mac】
- iMac 21.5 inch in PC rooms (κ18, ε17, ι18, ο17) and Media Center: [zmac, mczmac]
- Mac Pro in PC room λ18 and Media Center: [hdmac, mchdmac]
- iMac 27 inch in PC room λ21 and Media Center: [damac, mcdamac]
- iMac 27 inch in Media Center [mcmac]
- iMac and Mac Pro in NMC Multimedia Room [nmcmac, hdmac, damac]
【Applications】
| Applications | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| LANG editing environment | ja_JP.EUC | ja_JP.UTF-8 |
| Terminal | EUC-JP | UTF-8 * The character encoding on existing users' settings is EUC-JP as before, so each user needs to change his or her settings for any purpose. |
| vi | (on newly saved files) EUC-JP |
(on newly saved files) UTF-8 |
| emacs | ||
| TextEdit | ||
| TeX(compilable) | SJIS, JIS, EUC-JP | SJIS, JIS, EUC-JP, UTF-8 |
【Remarks】
- UTF-8 is non-supported encoding of "kterm" on SFC-CNS, so EUC-JP will be used as before.
- Windows environment (λ11, NMC PC-room 205) has not changed.
- Communication servers (ccz00, ccx01, and webedit ) also have not changed.
