You should set an appropriate alias in locale.aliases.

When the i18n framework in X11 was implemented, The default
character encoding in the Japanese locale wasn't necessarily
EUC-JP. I remember there was a conditional macro in the source
of locale.aliases to adjust it about 20 years ago.

The default encoding in the X11 locale should be adjusted to
the system locale. It is a natural way of solving this problem.
