Just wondering if anybody knowss how unicode is on Linux?Very good support. Default charset for recent versions of some popular distributions.
Is unicode ready for all language, including double byte languages, on Red Hat and SuSe?Yes.
On Red Hat Linux, if UTF-8 is not made as the default encoding for Chnese/Japanese/Korean, what it is using for those double byte languages?The old multi-byte character sets.
Does later Red Had Linux makes the UTF-8 the default encoding for them?AFAIK only if you manually set it to a UTF-8 locale, e.g. LANG=zh-CN.UTF-8. Notice, though, that some older software will not be aware of this change, so many characters will not be displayed properly.
