In my .emacs there is:
(utf-translate-cjk-load-tables)
. I started Emacs with:
$ LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 emacs
, then within Emacs did:
C-h v locale-coding-system RET
, and this was the output:


--------------begin-------------------------------------
locale-coding-system's value is utf-8

Coding system to use with system messages.
Also used for decoding keyboard input on X Window system.

Defined in `C source code'.
--------------end-------------------------------------


. Then I did:
C-h v ucs-mule-cjk-to-unicode RET
and this was the output:


--------------begin-------------------------------------
ucs-mule-cjk-to-unicode's value is
#<hash-table 'eq nil 42581/43000 0x856f288>

Hash table mapping Emacs CJK character sets to Unicode code points.

If `utf-translate-cjk-mode' is non-nil, this table populates the
translation-hash-table named `utf-subst-table-for-encode'.

Defined in `international/utf-8'.
