Yes, the kernel supports it but I have not seen much user space programs to make use of it. The default dispaly and input modes of popular distros are not UNICODE but iso8859 and ASCII (as reported by kbd_mode command). The X server handles these in its own way and that is why we can display and input Indian scripts but my question was related to the CLI mode and wanted to know if somebody has any experience on it. Has anybody worked on MS Joliet filesnames having Indic scripts on Linux ? How does it display them ?
