Your terminal emulator settings for character encoding are probably wrong, try setting them to UTF-8 or something that match your settings.
What says "set|grep LC" ?

Dear jiliagre,


I think the current setup is UTF-8 itself...
the set|grep LC output is as below

LC_COLLATE=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_TIME=hi_IN.UTF-8
MAILCHECK=600


Thanks,
ragtechy

These aren't junk characters but (I guess) proper hindi month names:
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 मार्च 28 15:27 bin -> ./usr/bin
drwxr-xr-x 6 root sys 512 मार्च 28 15:35 boot
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 मार्च 28 15:40 cdrom

The problem is with your terminal emulator as I suspected but you fail to tell which one you use.

Dear jiliagre,

The terminal emulator type is sun-color. I tried changing it to UTF-8.but there is no change. Also is ther any method to change the default Hindi values to English..?
