Did you set LANG in your image after generating the correct locales? (ie, -e LANG=zh_CN.utf8 or ENV LANG zh_CN.utf8)

[abcfy2]

Because base image default locale is C, which does not support UTF-8 characters.

If you want to display Chinese characters, just set an environment variable LC_ALL to C.UTF-8. E.g:

docker run --rm -e LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 <your_image_name>

Thus you can see any UTF-8 characters.
