It doesn't work under Linux. I have the opposite as you (cf screenshot).
I still don't understand the need to go with iconv... Especially when it
is working with zh_TW.UTF-8 as locale.
Your solution has also the problem that it probably won't work with
other charset from thailand, burma or mongolia for example.

The creation of the menu is done with Scilab scripts. Until all the
macros have been loaded, they are disabled (because we don't want the
user to use it until everything is loaded).
Once it is done, we activate them (with their name) and as they are
localized, if the initial string used in the creation is not the same in
the activation, it doesn't work. (Vincent, correct me if I am wrong).
Obviously, it is a bug (maybe a function which is lost because of the
asian symbol).
