As I understand it, this should run luit for you, so

That's the 7-bit equivalent of EUC-JP "日本語".  Something's stripping
the high bits, but I don't know why.  xterm has an option to do that,
but it's false by default.  AFAIK {Alt|Meta}SendsEscape should only
affect input.

Looks like more of the same.

And this is more of the same, with control characters being removed
from the stream entirely.  It's probably your stty settings.

Try "stty raw", then "cat test_eucjp".
