Hi,
  CP1252 is available like many other encoding, but trying to use
cp1252 and Japanese will just create garbage, FreeTDS is just warning
you, if you want garbage in the database the configuration is fine but
probably is not what you want.
How is data stored into the database? Which collation is the database?
Which type and collation are the columns supposed to contain Japanese?
Which encoding are you using on the client. The "Client Charset"
should respect this and will be use for "ANSI" function (the not wide
ones, wide in UnixODBC means UTF-16 like Windows).

Regards,
   Frediano
