The key to displaying all of those languages simultaneously is UTF-8.
Your locale should look something like this:
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I have the same settings in my "locale"
Using this, I can type Korean, Japanese, and Chinese (though I know
very little Japanese, and almost no Chinese at all):
いただきます！ (Itadakimasu!)
This must be Chinese, I see them all except the last character is square.
잘 먹으세요! (Jal Mogeuseyo!)
This Korean one displays correctly as well.
你好！ (Ni hao!)
If this is Japanese, it doesn't show at all. They are all squares, I know I
don't have any Japanese fonts.
I can't tell you what packages to install to get this font on your OS
though... since I don't know what it is, and since I can't even figure
out which package I installed to get it on *my* distro... ^^;
I can tell you, there are two particular fonts I have that display
these characters, and I can tell you the font resources I use to get
xterm to use them:
XTerm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*
XTerm*font5: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1
Do you have ".Xauthority" file in your home directory?

So, I think, all this Asian fonts are just mutter of correct font being
installed on the system.
They display correctly even in my Nano editor.
