CJK(Chinese, Japanesse and Korean) support in shell.



Hello,
I have currently made a mini bootable linux of mine which includes linux kernel 2.6.11(UTF8 and the 4 code pages for CJK enabled) + file system + busybox (which has all the utiliites and the shell) + an NCURSES based application.


I would like to display string resources which are CJK on my shell or the NCURSES interface.
What steps do i have to perform to make this CJK display possible. I am using the stripped down version of bash which is ash(available in busybox).


Do i have to add unicode fonts or should i have unicode aware shell or should i have ncurses built with unicode support and what what level i should support my application with UTF8 related c API's and what are the API's to use.
I am in lot of confusion at the moment. Please help me in this issue.


Regards,
Ahmad.
