Display Chinese characters in a character Environment

Title: displays Chinese characters in a character environment. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
Many people may have had this experience. When the Linux graphic environment fails, it is switched to a pure character environment. However, Chinese files cannot be displayed normally and Chinese files cannot be entered. In fact, there is a small software Zhcon that can solve this problem.

Zhcon is a Chinese platform with multiple inner codes in the Linux Console (FreeBSD is supported in version 0.2). It can display Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, supported codes include GB2312, GBK, BIG5, JIS, and KSC, which comply with the GPL protocol. Its project homepage is http://sourceforge.net/projects/zhcon, and its latest homepage is 0.2.3. The user can install the source code package zhcon-0.2.3.tar.gz from the site and run the following command:

# Tar xzvf zhcon-0.2.3.tar.gz
# Cd zhcon-0.2.3
#./Configure; make install

After installation, enter the "zhcon" command in the console to enter the Zhcon running environment. In this way, the Chinese file can be displayed normally, and the Chinese file can also be entered.

In addition, you can customize the content in the zhcon. conf/. zhconrc file to personalize Zhcon. For specific customization information, refer to the notes in this file.

When the system is running, you can use Ctrl + Alt + H to activate the Help window and view the hotkey definition at any time.

Some common hotkeys in Zhcon are listed as follows:

Ctrl + Space open/close the input method;

Alt + Space enable/disable CJK mode;

Ctrl + F1 use GB2312 encoding;

Ctrl + F2 use GBK encoding;

Ctrl + F3 use BIG5 encoding.

In addition to Zhcon, similar software also has cce.
