Thanks! What characters? What is shown? What did you expect? xterm uses fixed-size bitmap fonts which typically support only limited character ranges; both xterm and bitmap fonts are considered legacy technologies and have been replaced since by the development of scalable fonts and terminals supporting them in the 1990s. Can you use a terminal that supports scalable fonts? Examples include gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal. If the characters are shown in in Firefox, I expect that you have installed fonts that support Chinese characters with a command like: apt-get install fonts-noto It might also be useful to know your locale. I hope your system and filesystem are using UTF-8. What is your filesystem type (ext4? vfat?) and what is its filename encoding?
