How to handle Chinese garbled characters in Linux logs?

To solve the issue of Chinese characters displaying as garbled in Linux logs, you can try the following methods:

  1. Check the system language settings: Make sure the system’s language settings are correct, you can use the ‘locale’ command to view the current language settings. If the displayed language settings are incorrect, you can use the ‘localectl set-locale’ command to make changes.
  2. To set terminal encoding: You can check the current terminal encoding setting using the locale command. If the displayed encoding setting is incorrect, you can use export LANG= in the terminal to set the correct encoding, for example, export LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
  3. Modify the log configuration file: If there is garbled Chinese characters in the log file, you can try modifying the log configuration file to specify the correct encoding format. The specific method of modification can be determined based on the log system and configuration file format being used.
  4. You can use tools to convert encoding: There are some tools available to convert garbled log files into the correct encoding format, for example using the iconv command to convert the file from the incorrect encoding to the correct one.

One or more of these methods may be able to solve the issue of Chinese characters displaying incorrectly in Linux logs, with the specific method depending on the system configuration and the log system being used.
