Chinese garbled characters during SSH connection to Ubuntu

If Ubuntu Chinese is used, it uses the UTF-8 as the character set by default: $ localeLANG = zh_CN.UTF-8LANGUAGE = zh_CN: zhLC_CTYPE = "zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC = "zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_TIME = "zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE = "zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY = "zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_ME

LC_TIME = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_NAME = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_ALL =
