Try:
(In bash)
$ export LANG='zh_TW.Big5'
$ xcin &
(In tcsh)
> setenv LANG 'zh_TW.Big5'
> xcin &

Hope this helps.

I am also quite a newbie to Linux, here is what I currently think about:

1. Does the output of ``locale'' all ``zh_TW.Big5'', including ``LC_CTYPE'' and ``LC_ALL''?

2. What is your Debian version and xcin version? How did you start xcin (I mean, in a terminal window, or in some menus)?

1.this is my locale

LC_MONETARY="zh_TW.Big5"
LC_MESSAGES="zh_TW.Big5"

LC_TELEPHONE="zh_TW.Big5"
LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_TW.Big5"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_TW.Big5"

2.i am using woody and the version of xcin is 2.5.2.99.pre2+

and i put
{
export XMODIFIERS="@im=xcin"
exec xcin &
}
in .xinitrc ,but when i startx , it's no responding.

i try #xcin
then show :
xcin: error: C locale "zh_TW.Big5" is not supported by your system.

Pls check if your /etc/locale.gen consists the followings:

en_US ISO-8859-1
zh_TW Big5

and, re-generate new locale by

# locale-gen

Well, everthing looks fine to me. Here are some suggestions (may not work at all)

1. Set locale to ``zh_TW'' and try everything again.

2. It seems you are installing xcin from another source. Try Debian package ``xcin'' instead, it is version 2.5.3-pre2, and my installation was successful (following is the notes):
Install package ``xcin'' and ``libtabe2'', ``rxvt'', ``libtabe-db'', ``rxvt-ml''.
Choose from Gnome menu: Programs -> Debian Menus -> XShells -> XCINterm (GB2312) and it works fine.
By the way, as you may have already seen, I use simplified Chinese.

1.this is my locale
LANG=zh_TW.Big5
LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.Big5"

And one more thing:
In my locale it is
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GB2312
instead of
LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.GB2312"

I don't if this matters.

不曉得為什麼, 在 Debian 的安裝過程中, 設定 locale 時, 並沒有將結果存到 /etc/locale.gen 和 /etc/environment 中, 還得在安裝好之後, 重新 dpkg-reconfigure locales 設定一遍, 才會正常, 這就是為什麼會有這個問題出現了
