I never could get utf-8 to work as a locale.  My main systems are still
1.6.x; do I need to update to 2.0 or better?  Under /usr/share/locale
there is only en_US.UTF-8.  There was no ja_JP.UTF-8.  I tried en_US.UTF-8
anyway, but nothing seemed to work, so I went back to EUC.

Did you get a new ls, too?  My system says:
   % ls -w
   ls: unknown option -- w
