With Japanese, first I did EUC, but now it's UTF-8 instead, I sat down to work 
out how to get bash/tcsh to work fine. I had to recompile both, as the versions 
in pkgsrc were too old, and needed extra options.

Then, you need to set "set dspmbyte=utf8" for tcsh.

Finally, "ls" needs "-w".

After that, it works "fairly" well, better in bash than tcsh. File completion as 
well, but editing the line can mess it up times. Although that could be urxvt's 
fault (mentioned in newer minor bug fixes after all).

Although, I just stuck in a floppy, copied over a file with Japanese name, and 
find it will not display correctly. Including dumping raw text from "." so there 
is extra type checking done. Not that DOS would support UTF8 anyway?

Looking in fs/msdos/msdosfs_conv.c it seems to use charconv tables to map 
characters, so this would probably need to be changed for support of other types.


I also found myself in this amusing situation:
