This is a problem due to the shell.  You'll need
 - OS locale framework which supports CJK (XPG4DL)
 - Internationalized shell which utilizes the locale framework (tcsh?)

Note that current implementation of XPG4DL does not allow
CJK locale if the executable is statically linked.  In
addition as I noted in the previous mail XPG4DL does not
support 1.4.x nor coming 1.5.

I believe editors/nvi-m17n has built-in support for canna.
