Chinese characters are Big5, GB2312 and UTF-8 (try these 3 first). If the Chinese
characters aren't displayed the way they should (if some characters have "?" or "#" or other symbols), then try
adding more encoding's. GB is the most popular encoding for Simplified Chinese Characters with the Big5
encoding most popular for Traditional Chinese Characters. |
