What is your current locale when you edit a file ?
What are you using as terminal emulator ?
What font are you using ?
When are characters turned into dots ? when typing them under vi or when viewing the file later ?

You must set up local environmet variabels

first way: in your local login profile (in /export/home/user) set up local variabels

or set up variabels for all users using

locale and setenv commands

I have set the Locale hi_IN.UTF-8
While writing using vi text pad . then only its getting converted . In between, i have put some english alphabet . its comming properly

I don't understand you replies.

Current Locale is hi_IN.UTF-8. I have set it using /etc/default/init file as well as LANG in .profile file .
What are you using as terminal emulator ? I dint get you . vt100
What font are you using ?I am copying the hindi content from internet and copying it in server file using VI

While inserting the Hindi text only its turning into dots .

You are very unlikely to use a vt100, they are mostly found in museum nowadays.
While in your terminal emulator where vi is misbehaving, please post these commands ouput:

Code:

set|grep LC
ptree $$
