I know the probrem about this setting also. (-; Please BE CAREFUL.

Perhaps, when you use "emacs -nw" from rxvt(or the others) on X, or on
kon, or normal console, I could not use emacs any more. If you edit
some files, cause edited files would be broken (not sure, but I did).
Then you must set (set-terminal-coding-system 'euc-japan-unix) for in
case that you do not use jfbterm.

Probably this way is better;

(cond ((>= emacs-major-version 21)
       (if (not (string-match "jfbterm" (getenv "TERM")))
	   (set-terminal-coding-system 'euc-japan-unix)
	 (set-terminal-coding-system 'compound-text-unix))
       [...]
       ))

Have a fun.
