[GNOME] Getting applications to display CJK text on en-US locale

I run GNOME and I would like to get my applications to display CJK text correctly while my locale is set to en-US. When changing my locale to a different locale like zh-CN or ja-JP, the CJK characters display correctly, but I would like to keep my locale as en-US. Currently the applications do not display the CJK text correctly. Is there a way to do this?

Re: [GNOME] Getting applications to display CJK text on en-US locale

do not display the CJK text correctly

and what do they display?

lcoalectl; locale; locale -a

UTF-8 text is agnostic to the actual locale, don't use some older 8-bit encoding (iso-8859 etc)
