Thanks. I got character encoding would be better.

Exactly, you are right. see also below Ascii Art Picture.

Japanese has 4 character encoding.
There are Shift-JIS(Mirosoft friendly),
EUC-JP, UTF8 and ISO-2022-JP(a.k.a JIS). In recently debian system
uses UTF8. but some survivied legacy debian system still use EUC-JP.
Terminal(putty) ---- Machine A(EUC-JP) -+--- Machine 01(EUC-JP)
ssh(gate keeper) |
+--- Machine 02(SJIS)
|
+--- Machine 03(UTF8)
|
+--- Machine 04(ISO-2022-JP)
