Does the 'kmod-fs-ntfs3' support unicode file name?

Seems the 'kmod-fs-ntfs' or 'kmod-fs-ntfs3' not support unicode name.

  • 'kmod-fs-ntfs' is totally ignore the unicode folder and files. Totally invisible/nothing when type 'ls'.
  • 'kmod-fs-ntfs3' recognize unicode folder and files. but showing the charactors as '_(under bar)'

Any one guide me how to make 'kmod-fs-ntfs3' display unicode file name correctly?

OpenWRT does not include ICU, you need likes of Samba to see them from outside.

Ah......
External viewing way by Samba is okay. Understood.

Is there any trick to see the files in the openwrt console? (like urgent situation?)
Any idea?

Probably some web-based file manager. 60MB unicode support data is kind of out of question.

Well..dont you missing something?
The user module 'ntfs-3g' is so compact and capable to display all unicode.
I dont see the limitation to diaplay unicode into the console. The module can link lib externally if the developer take care of it.
How do you think?

You need the kmod-nls-utf8 package and the iocharset=utf8 mount option.

This is right. Just installing 'kmod-nls-utf8' display unicode properly. Thank you. (I also learnt the option from ntfs3 man and usual language support from classic linux articles after you guide)

opkg update && opkg install kmod-nls-utf8
mount -t ntfs3 -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sda1 /mnt/test

One more question is that
seem that auto-folder/file name completion by pressing 'tab' is not working for unicode file name while ntfs-3g does.
Am I missing something? Isn't there workaround to use unicode file name auto completion with ntfs3?

Yes, you are trying to load a fridge in your bike,s trunk.

If you don't understand what people talking about.,
Just keep silence. no need to make noise rubish spams.
