@An Yang, then apparently we need to change the title to something
different. gvim _can_ display GB18030, the problem is really it has
moved to use utf-8 internally, and guessing the encoding before read it
in according to the list of fileencodings.

:set fileencodings

And you will see the list of default fileencodings being "ucs-
bom,utf-8,default,latin1". Now I believe default is the charset of the
current locale (most likely being 'UTF-8'), so vim will fall back to
latin1 as the last resort, and trying to convert the gb18030 encoded
characters internally to utf-8, treating them as latin1 encoded, which
is obviously wrong. And once converted to utf-8, setting different
encoding by 'set encoding=' won't work as the content of the buffer is
already wrong.

One way to work around this,

:set fileencodings=gb18030,ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1

This will give vim a chance to convert from gb18030 firstly, and it
works for me.
