I see. That explains it.

Well, I usually have my LC_CTYPE set to ja_JP.EUC-JP because usually
when I work with Japanese, I work in EUC.

Fortunately, when I tried the -fn and -fw options as you recommended
with the -u8 option, I was able to view Japanese UTF-8 strings without 
having to change my LC_CTYPE.

Thanks for your help!
