pdfTeX in TeX Live 2018 (basic scheme install) — non-English languages and scientific symbols












0















TeX Live 2018 is great with default UTF-8 encoding. Unicode characters display correctly "as is" now, by default.



What should I minimally install for other languages (Chinese, Vietnamese, scientific unicode symbols, etc)?



MWE:
documentclass{book}



% Not needed anymore!
% usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

begin{document}

Testing UTF-8 character here: é

% Vietnamese: Tiếng Việt

% Chinese: 中文

% Temperature: 26°C

end{document}
