Is there a way to configure the console to display Japanese kanji, hiragana and katakana? I can output as UTF-8.

It would just require setting the proper font. What distribution are you using and I can answer your question more specifically.– coxleyApr 15, 2013 at 22:43

Actually, I found this: superuser.com/questions/380470/… I don't know enough about the subject to know if there's a way or not, though.– coxleyApr 15, 2013 at 22:44

See http://ameblo.jp/mijyu-sakura/entry-11329029030.html, when I tried it, it fails at the last steps but otherwise will set up the locale and fonts. Then jfbterm and you can display UTF-8 encoded Japanese.

1Thank you. What I did:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure localesaddedja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JPandja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8and made the last active. Thensudo apt-get install ttf-kochi-gothic xfonts-intl-japanese xfonts-intl-japanese-big xfonts-kanamethensudo apt-get install jfbtermand launched viajfbterm -e [executable that outputs UTF-8]and worked perfectly!
