How to show other language characters when SSH?

[anguschang007]

Guys, do you know how to show the other language's characters? I have some folders or files that are named in Japanese or Chinese. However, the SSH terminal can't show those characters but I am confirmed that my MacOS terminal it can show those characters while visiting the local files. I tried the other methods for other Linux versions, but they seem not work for the Entware! Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

This is not an Entware issue. It appears to be a problem with Busybox's lack of support for Unicode characters. The same sort of problem was reported in OpenWrt here. So some Busybox commands like ls don't display those characters:

# echo *
うしろの正面だあれ』（うしろのしょうめんだあれ）は、海老名香葉子著の児童文学作品。.txt
# ls

# find .
.
./うしろの正面だあれ』（うしろのしょうめんだあれ）は、海老名香葉子著の児童文学作品。.txt

Oh, but the issue isn't fixed on Entware yet? It seems it is an issue for a long time!

Sorry, I don't understand why you think this is an Entware issue.

Sorry, I mean the Entware's Busybox, not Entware

Busybox can be complied with various Unicode options. I suspect it would need UNICODE_USING_LOCALE to be enabled.

Here's something if you have Entware:

opkg install coreutils-ls

# export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
# export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'
# ls
うしろの正面だあれ』（うしろのしょうめんだあれ）は、海老名香葉子著の児童文学作品。.txt

opkg install coreutils-ls

# export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
# export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'
# ls
うしろの正面だあれ』（うしろのしょうめんだあれ）は、海老名香葉子著の児童文学作品。.txt

It is perfect now, after installing the coreutils-ls
