The Linux Chinese garbled problem is a common problem when using Chinese character sets and encodings. Garbled characters may be caused by incorrect file encoding settings, system locale not being installed or set, and terminal display configuration errors, etc. This article will introduce several common workarounds and provide specific code examples.

1. Check the file encoding settings

Use the file command to view the file encoding
Use the file command in the terminal to view the encoding of the file:
```
file -i filename
```
Copy after login
If there is "charset=xxxx" information in the output, it means that the file encoding has been set correctly.
Modify file encoding
If the file encoding setting is incorrect, you can use the iconv command to convert the file to the correct encoding:
```
iconv -f old_charset -t new_charset filename -o new_filename
```
Copy after login
where old_charset is the current file encoding , new_charset is the correct encoding, filename is the file name to be converted, and new_filename is the converted file name.
Modify the default file encoding
In some cases, it is necessary to modify the system default file encoding settings. First, back up the system's default locale file:
```
sudo cp /etc/locale.gen /etc/locale.gen.bak
```
Copy after login
Then use a text editor to open the locale file and uncomment the encoding line that needs to be set:
```
sudo nano /etc/locale.gen
```
Copy after login
After saving the file and exiting the editor, run The following command makes the setting take effect:
```
sudo locale-gen
```
Copy after login
2. Install and set the system language environment
Check whether the system language environment is installed
Use the locale command to view the current system language environment Locale:
```
locale
```
Copy after login
If no information similar to "LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" is output, it means that the system locale is not installed.
Install the system locale
The following command will install the Chinese locale:
```
sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh-hans language-pack-zh-hans-base
```
Copy after login
Set the system locale
Use locale- The gen command generates the locale setting of the Chinese environment:
```
sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8
```
Copy after login
Then sets LANG to the Chinese encoding:
```
sudo update-locale LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
```
Copy after login
After restarting the system, the system's locale setting will take effect.

3. Adjust the terminal display configuration

Modify the terminal configuration file
Use a text editor to open the terminal configuration file:
```
nano ~/.bashrc
```
Copy after login
Add the following content at the end of the file:
```
export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8
export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
```
Copy after login
After saving the file and exiting the editor, run the following command to make the settings take effect:
```
source ~/.bashrc
```
Copy after login
Set terminal font
Open the terminal Window, right-click and select "Preferences", select the terminal configuration file used in the "Profiles" tab, click "Edit", and select the appropriate font settings in the "General" tab.

To sum up, this article introduces several methods to solve the problem of Chinese garbled characters in Linux, including checking file encoding settings, installing and setting the system language environment, and adjusting the terminal display configuration. By setting these configurations correctly, you can avoid the problem of Chinese garbled characters being displayed in Linux systems.

Note: The above code examples are based on Ubuntu system, other Linux distributions may be slightly different.
