Hello,

I have a mobile harddrive with a Fat32 partition on it so that I can 
transfer files between linux and winxp systems. I notice that linux can 
not display Chinese filename created by winxp system and vise vesa. I 
have tried to set my locale as zh_CN.gb18030, zh_CN.gb2312, zh_CN.gbk, 
zh_CN.utf8 but none of them work. The symptons are:

1. Linux can create/display/cp/move files with Chinese filenames but 
   these filenames can not be displayed under winxp.
2. Linux can not display filenames created under winxp correctly. They 
   are all shown as ????

Could anyone tell me:
1. What kind of Chinese encoding WinXP uses? Tech documents tell me it 
   is Unicode but I do not know if they are UTF-8 or UTF-16.
2. How can I configure my linux system to deal with such filenames? As a 
   matter of fact, I would prefer a way to manage these files without 
   changing my locale because none of the Chinese fonts has 
   good-looking English characters.

Many thanks in advance.
