(2) Handling of locales and character sets in each version
This subsection describes the values assigned to the locale environment variable when each version of a plug-in communicates with operation target devices, and whether the plug-in can automatically detect the character set. This automatic detection allows you to use non-ASCII characters in command lines, standard output, standard error output, and the file names of forwarded files.
Note that because the following plug-ins do not connect to connection destinations, they do not set a locale or automatically detect the character set.
