I agree with Sander; as well as using an unicode-aware terminal-emulator, you do need to use a font that has all of the characters you need. I have been using this one for a while now and I have had only one occurance where an east asian name didn't display properly. Overall, this displays most of the Asian characters, including chinese, korean, etc. You could try it out - there are plenty of others too: URxvt.font:xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=10.0 -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38
