mojibake in bash

[Rolf Leggewie]

further to what I reported in bug 1248239, the filenames are also shown as mojibake in bash (see attached screenshot)

$ ls -1 /tmp/*.txt
/tmp/⑥-test.txt
/tmp/⑤-test.txt
/tmp/④-test.txt
/tmp/①-test.txt
/tmp/③-test.txt
/tmp/②-test.txt

This is in precise. Reporting against Japanese Kaizen project first for confirmation and some triage.

For what it's worth, on a VT the circle around the number characters is dropped here on my computer.

Sorting in Nautilus is as expected, for example.

It seems "Unicode's East asian ambiguous width" problem.

Could you please re-test with VTE_CJK_WIDTH=1 as your environment variables ?
e.g.: If you use gnome-terminal, exec:
$ VTE_CJK_WIDTH=1; gnome-terminal --disable-factory

Thank you, Yoshida-san. You hit the nail on the head. I can confirm that your suggested workaround fixes the problem. I was not aware that the issue is so well known among the Japanese community that you have already created a detailed wiki page including suggested fixes.
