utf 8 - display japanese utf-8 on tera term (or suggest a terminal program for windows that does) -
first time posting, if in wrong place, let loose , tear me don't care. anyway...
straight point: want display utf-8 encoded japanese characters on tera term, , following instructions found here (https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/manual/en/usage/unicode.html) not working. have looked in other places , didn't see different answers solved core problem, how display utf-8 japanese characters in terminal software whatever terminal software may be.
backstory: i'm english speaking default, have software i'd test spits out utf-8 japanese characters. correctly far know because if output utf-8 text file characters show correctly in notepad++. rule out software issue, if display characters utf-8 text file on terminal shows wrong. rule out terminal server issues, if set 2 terminals talk each other directly through virtual com ports, characters show wrong (just ??? or ‹ãb depending on font settings)
if notepad++ can display utf-8 japanese characters correctly, why can't terminal software? , do?
i'm on windows 7
i recommend try detecting file encoding using terminal, open file guessed encoding using notepad++ or text editors allow change encoding (most of them do, users don't know how though).
nkf --guess file.txt #or aka nkf -g file.txt
alternatively, try using other terminal software poderosa or rlogin if on windows, iterm/2 if on mac.
