Thanks. I'm familiar with locale concept, but was not sure about what
"codeset" means.
I'm still a bit lost in this. It seems that sending/receiving to/from
subprocesses works with that Win10 setting, that's why grepping from M-x
shell started to work. Output in graphical Emacs will work if font is
ok.
But the interactions with console confuse me, I guess I need to read
more on that before I am able to ask something meaningful. In
particular, it's unclear to me why grep outputs Japanese correctly in
the OP (with LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8), and you say that sending UTF-8 text to
console will not work.
