As a matter of common practice, the Simplified Chinese character set uses GB ("Guobiao") encoding.
GB is the official standard of the People's Republic of China.

As a matter of common practice, the Traditional Chinese character set uses Big5 encoding.
The primary user of Big5 encoding is the Republic of China (a.k.a: Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa).
It is also used in Hong Kong and Macau.

Why?
You can probably see a pattern forming here as a matter of history.

The Kindles use UTF-8 encoding.
Your Windows PC uses either GB2312 or UTF-8 encoding.

Unlike some country specific character encodings, there is a direct, one-to-one translation from GB2312 to UTF-8.
Also for the reverse, UTF-8 to GB2312.

BAF (the provider of the kTerm build) has shown that the current kTerm will properly display Simplified Chinese recorded on the Kindle.
(and we know from other user reports that it will display Japanese (which kTerm was designed for) and Traditional Chinese.)

What is missing, is a Simplified Chinese keyboard.
The keyboard is a "plug-in" item, it could be changed if that plug-in could be found.

Here is an example of converting from GB2312 to UTF-8 (in PHP):

Similar features are available in other programming languages.
What is being called is a 'standard' mb_convert library that many programming languages also can use.

Now if everyone is happy, perhaps we can all get on with our lives.
