zhcon supports utf-8 locale starting from version 0.2.5.
To use utf-8 locale, simply add --utf8 to the command line:
zhcon --utf8
Limitation of zhcon's utf8 support:
* only one system encoding (gbk/big5 etc) can be used at any given time
* any character invalid in current system encoding will not be displayed
* some terminal applications, such as mc and links, may not function properly under utf8
Using vim under utf8 locale:
vim 6 has native support for utf8 locale. If vim can not correctly display/edit utf8 Chinese text file, put the
following line in your .vimrc file:
set encoding=utf8
