Chinese or Unicode Filenames with mount.cifs or ntfs-3g

[whoisterence]

I am able to read Chinese in Firefox, so I should have fonts setup properly.

I have tried the rxvt-unicode terminal extension, but even if I use rxvtc -fn xft:MingLiU, the chinese filenames on my network (mounted using cifs) or local (mounted using ntfs-3g) still show up as question marks?

I tried mount.cifs with iocharset=unicode option.

Hi.
I'm Japanese. So I don't know Chinese environment.
I think that you need to build kernel modules for supports native language.

CONFIG_NLS_UTF8=y

Unicode is supported.

Syun, can you get Japanese filenames?

New things I tried.

-recompiled urxvt with ./configure --enable-everything --enable-xft
I think the current urxvt extension didn't include many encodings.

-set the locale LANG=zh_TW.utf8
-run using urxvt -fn "xft:MingLiu"

I created a utf8 encoded text file and now I can see the Chinese characters in the file, but when I do "ls" still showing question marks.

Also, when I do an "ls" I get the following messages:
ls: ./?.doc: No such file or directory

Seems to me "ls" is not UTF8 ready?  Maybe it's the way busybox was compiled?

I used "echo *" instead of "ls" and I can see the Chinese filenames, this is narrowing the problem down to busybox ls.

GNU ls is in coreutils.tcz

Yup that did the trick.

In summary to be able to list Chinese filenames

-have a Chinese font installed
-mount your cifs/ntfs-3g drives
-use the urxvt-daemon extension is OK.  No need to recompile urxvt
-need the coreutils extension, because busybox ls does not show UTF8
-set the LANG=en_US.utf8
-run urxvtd
-run urxvtc -fn "xft:mingliu"
-ls and you should see Chinese filenames
