can't see winxp folders with chinese/korean folder names

hi...i recently used iTunes to organize my music (located on a winxp ntfs partition)...which created some folders with names that contain asian characters.  However,  those folders CANNOT be seen from the console or Konqueror.  It's as if they were never created at all...all the folders with english names can be found, so i think there is something related to the asian characters that my linux system can't recognize...is there a solution for this? 

Thanks.

Re: can't see winxp folders with chinese/korean folder names

Can you post your /etc/profile here?
AFAIK you must use some UTF-8 variation in your locales to access sc or big-5 characters properly. No idea about other asian languages, but unicode should normally treat them OK as well.

Please try instead of
export LANG="en_US" to use export LANG="en_US.utf8" and reboot.
You might also have to change specfic locale values, but you should start changing just that.
After that change you might have to change your console font with another one which supports unicode.

mandato10, if you succeed tell us what you did. Good Luck I had bad luck with modern greek filenames. Use CIFS and I remember now that reading the samba docs have a special section for japanese. {as if japanese is the only non-latin language..@!%!@} anyways
