ls -G will enable the colour function. You can add
alias ls="ls -G"
in .bash_profile in your home directory.

Regarding another problem, I guess the terminal doesn't support that kind of language. I have no idea about how to sort it out.

Make sure UTF-8 is selected as the display character encoding (using the Inspector)?
