If you mean the UTF-8 support in Terminal, it's no better or worse
than the EUC-JP support. The problem is that most Japanese Unix
systems continue to default to EUC-JP, and many Windows hosts
(including Samba file systems) default to Shift JIS. So people using
Terminal tend to set it to match the default remote environment (few
of them use shells on the Mac).
All that is certainly true of my organization, for one example.
