Re: [icu-support] Displaying Japanese locale display name

[Steven R. L. <sr...@ic...>]

In ICU you can use the uloc_getDefault() function to print the encoding 
that ICU is using as its default.
I was able to get putty 0.56 to display UTF-8 OK for Japanese. I used 
the icudate sample.  My system didn't have en_US.UTF-8 but EN_US.UTF-8

LANG=ja_JP LC_CTYPE=EN_US.UTF-8  ./icudate -f

If there is trouble just with the display on putty, you might need to 
check with the authors of that program.

Hope this helps,
 Steven

However, when connecting from a Windows XP client via a PuTTY SSH connection, I still cannot see any of the Japanese, Korean or Chinese characters.  PuTTY allows configuration, on the Windows -> Translation panel, for the character set of the incoming data, including a "UTF-8" setting in the drop-down list.  But even with this setting, the Asian characters are not visible.
