I don't understand what you mean by this. You mean, what is "wrong"?
And, the output of "locale" command means what in this context?
(Of course I understand what "locale" command outputs.)

This is wrong, because keymap is not enough for Japanese input.
Well, you cannot configure keymap to input Japanese.
BTW, the contents of your mail was illegal encoding ... It
contained my ISO-2022-JP-encoded Japanese and your 8bit
characters (0xe6, 0xf8, 0xe5, 0xe7), though the mail header
insists the contents is ISO-8859-1. Of course, ISO-2022-JP-
encoded JIS X 0208 characters in ISO-8859-1 encoding is
illegal. (I imagine your 0xe6 0xf8 0xe5 0xe7 sequence in
your mail is intended to be ISO-8859-1, I imagined from your
mail header. Thus, 0xe6 is "ae", 0xf8 is "o/", 0xe5 is "a"
with circle, and 0xe7 is "c," . What did you want to mean?)
