I have been asked to support the Shift-JIS character set in file contents, comments, and logs, for a partner of mine. I know there are a few ways to do this, but I'm looking for the official non-hacky way to do this. This is CLI only, and our pager, less, does not support multi-byte, so I'm looking for options there also. I normally do all of my UTF-16 work from a workstation via ECLIPSE, with UTF-8 comments, so never really have encountered this as an issue. Although our UTF-16 HTML files look pretty ugly in a diff. The platform (NonStop) does not have a lot of UTF-16 tooling by default (less does not support it), so I may have to write stuff, which is no issue. We are on 2.21.0 officially as of yesterday.
