I am using Redhat 9. When I login as English Environment, I cannot read
the chinese character in my terminal. But I can read using my mozilla.
Is it possible to make reading chinese character in terminal possible?

Thanks

It should be, providing that you have the chinese character set / locale
set up on your computer. Mozilla uses its own settings. Try installing
a chinese locale and you should be OK.

Thanks, Gary...

But may I ask, how to do that...?? coz I am new to Linux...:P
and, more information..., if I choose to login as Chinese Environment,
displaying chinese in the terminal is possible, but I am wondering why I
cannot do that in English environment...

Thanks in advance...

In a command shell:
export LANG=zh_TW.big5
then type the command to start your terminal (kconsole or
gnome-terminal). xterm doesn't support Chinese, AFAIK, but there is
cxterm.
