UTF8, 8859 etc.<BR /><BR />3. check your Database encoding as well, simple, better way is make OS match DB's encoding.<BR /><BR />4. Suse Server 9 release notes has relevant comments if the file originated from old version and was read on version 9.<BR /><BR />5. good news: AsiaLinux was released with better Asia languages support.<BR /><BR />take care !<BR /><BR />YJ Thu, 12 Aug 2004 10:33:55 GMT Yong_7 2004-08-12T10:33:55Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/read-chinese-problem/m-p/3351114#M13515 I have a problem to read chinese character on linux , the problem is :<BR />we export a file (there are chinese characters inside) from the database to the shell , but we found that we can't read the chinese characters ( all become unreadable words) , maybe it is caused by the linux language setting , could suggest how can I read chinese on the linux shell ? thx.
