Hi Shi

Your charset is simplified chinese (GB2312), right? Which subversion
version are you using?

The escaped values are decimal UTF-8 encodings of the Chinese string (3
bytes per character for that particular)
The first character is U+8BF7 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH, and that should be
available in GB2312 (as the byte sequence \xC7\xE8)

So it looks as if the subversion client cannot recode the UTF-8 used
internally in the gettext strings into the charset expected by the console.

Are the iconv libraries installed? If you set your language to other
languages, like Portugese (Brazil), do you get legible characters?

Actually, on my system, the chinese characters come out like this:
D:\> svn
____svn help__________

But I might not have the correct font installed.
