This code page is identical to code page 850 except that X'D5'
has been changed from LI61 (dotless i) to SC20 (euro symbol).
The code points from /x01 to /x1f in the /localedata/charmaps/IBM858
file have the same mapping as those in localedata/charmaps/ANSI_X3.4-1968.
That means they disagree with with
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/gcoc/attachments/CP00858.txt
in that range.
For example, localedata/charmaps/IBM858 and localedata/charmaps/ANSI_X3.4-1968 have:
“<U0001> /x01 START OF HEADING (SOH)”
whereas CP00858.txt has:
“01 SS000000 Smiling Face”
That means that CP00858.txt is not really ASCII-compatible and to make
it ASCII-compatible we deviate fro CP00858.txt in the code points from /x01
to /x1f.
[BZ #21084]

* iconvdata/Makefile: Add IBM858.
* iconvdata/gconv-modules: Add IBM858.

“Bengali” still remained in some comments in the bn_BD locale file,
in iso-639.def and in a test input file. Change it there as well.
“Bangla” is now used as the English name for this language in CLDR.
[BZ #14925]
* libio/tst-widetext.input: Change “Bengali” to “Bangla”.
* locale/iso-639.def: Change “Bengali” to “Bangla”.
* localedata/locales/bn_BD: “Bengali” was still used in some
comments. Change it to “Bangla”.
[BZ #22070]
* localedata/unicode-gen/utf8_gen.py: Set the width for
characters with Prepended_Concatenation_Mark property to 1
* localedata/charmaps/UTF-8: Updated using the improved script.
Writing ranges of neighbouring characters with the same with like this
<U000E0100>...<U000E01EF> 0
in charmaps/UTF-8 is more efficient than writing many single character lines
like:
<U000E0100> 0
<U000E0101> 0
...
[BZ #21750]
* unicode-gen/utf8_gen.py: Write all ranges of neighbouring characters
with the same width using the range notation in charmaps/UTF-8.
[BZ #15332]

* locales/so_DJ (LC_TIME): Fix abday, abmon and
make t_fmt in the comment agree with the value of t_fmt.

makes it agree with CLDR.

[BZ #19852]
[BZ #21750]

UnicodeData lines so the latter have precedence; remove hack
to group output by EastAsianWidth ranges.
[BZ #14925]

“title” and “language” from Bengali to Bangla.
* locales/bn_IN (LC_IDENTIFICATION): Likewise.
The custom stuff which was in LC_CTYPE of the km_KH locale seems
to be a very incomplete subset of what one gets by using
“copy "i18n"”. I cannot find anything special there which is not
in “copy "i18n"”, only lots of stuff which is missing.
[BZ #20008]
* locales/km_KH (LC_CTYPE): Use “copy "i18n"”.
[BZ #20482]

U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE: a narrow form of a no-break space,
typically the width of a thin space or a mid space.
U+2009 THIN SPACE.
Many languages use small gap as thousands separator.
Thousands separator should not be a plain space, but a narrow space.
And additionally, it is not allowed to wrap line in the middle of the
number.
Locale data were created in a deep age of 8-bit encodings, so most of
them use space (incorrect: it allows wrapping the line in the middle
of the number), or NBSP (better, but typographically incorrect: space
between groups is too wide).
Now UNICODE is widely supported, so we should leave legacy characters
in favor of correct UNICODE character.
UNICODE has a dedicated character for this purpose:
NNBSP
U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE: a narrow form of a no-break space,
typically the width of a thin space or a mid space
The NNBSP exists since Unicode 3.0.
Use of NNBSP will prevent line wrapping in the midle of number and
improve readability of numbers.

These comments are useless and only confusing. The encodings used to
create binary locales from source locales are listed in the
localedata/SUPPORTED file. The source files itself are ASCII or UTF-8
encoded where non-ASCII UTF-8 is currently only used in comments. If
all locale source files are UTF-8 anyway, there is no need to specify
that in a special comment.
New locale is added for the Seychelles which is a member of the African
Union. English is an offical language for the Seychelles.
[BZ #21854]
* locales/en_SC: New file.
* localedata/SUPPORTED : Add en_SC/UTF-8.
For the locales doi_IN, kok_IN, and sat_IN, the words for
“yes” and “no” were apparently in yesexpr and noexpr.
Copy them from there to add yesstr and nostr.
Also make yesexpr and noexpr more readable by using
the POSIX portable character set.
* locales/doi_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Add yesstr and nostr.
* locales/kok_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Add yesstr and nostr.
* locales/sat_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Add yesstr and nostr.
This reverts commit 8f75515080
Revert “Fix yesexpr in en_DK locale”.
* locales/en_DK (LC_MESSAGES): Restore original yesexpr, noexpr,
yesstr, nostr. Convert them to ASCII and add a comment why
we want to have them like this.
And make the expressions more readable by using the POSIX portable character set
instead of Unicode code points.
* locales/agr_PE (LC_MESSAGES): drop .* from yesexpr and noexpr
