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

[Rodriguez, R. <ron...@hp...>]

I tried exactly the same command, using PuTTY 0.58, but the non-ASCII
characters appear as solid grey boxes.  I've reviewed the PuTTY User
Manual, but the only relevant recommendation is to set the expected
character set to UTF-8, which I've already done.

By the way, uloc_getDefault() is returning "en_US".

Lacking any other suggestions, I will probably try posting a question to
the comp.terminals Usenet group.  This is one of the things the PuTTY
feedback page recommends.

Thanks for the help so far.

In ICU you can use the uloc_getDefault() function to print the encoding=20
that ICU is using as its default.
I was able to get putty 0.56 to display UTF-8 OK for Japanese. I used=20
the icudate sample.  My system didn't have en_US.UTF-8 but EN_US.UTF-8

LANG=3Dja_JP LC_CTYPE=3DEN_US.UTF-8  ./icudate -f

If there is trouble just with the display on putty, you might need to=20
check with the authors of that program.

Hope this helps,
 Steven

ko_KR, zh_Hant, and zh_Hans.  (Just "UTF-8" didn't work.)

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.
