@ -5,10 +5,10 @@ This implementation is derived from ex/vi 3.7 of 6/7/85 and the BSD
termcap library, originally from the 2.11BSD distribution. All of them
were changed to compile and run on newer POSIX compatible Unix systems.
Support for international character sets was added, including support
for multibyte locales (in particular UTF-8), and some changes were made
to get closer to the POSIX.2 guidelines for ex and vi. Some issues that
were clearly bugs and not features have also been resolved; the the

Successful operation is known for the following encodings: UTF-8, EUC-JP,
EUC-KR, Big5, Big5-HKSCS, GBK. vi does not support locking-shift encodings
like those that use ISO 2022 escape sequences. It also requires that the
first byte of any multibyte character has the highest bit set. This excludes
7-bit encodings like UTF-7, and encodings whose sequences start with ASCII
characters like TCVN 5712.
To use UTF-8 locales in ex mode, the terminal should be put in 'stty iutf8'
mode on Linux if it does not perform this automatically. Otherwise, typing
the erase key once after entering a multibyte character will result in an
incomplete byte sequence.
