How to view Chinese in Opera - 如何在互联网上阅读中文

First off, make sure you have Chinese fonts installed, otherwise you wont be able to see
Chinese Characters in your browser.

Follow the instructions below.
Once you have succeeded you will see these Simplified Chinese characters above in the headline.

FireFox (screen shoot)

Internet Explorer (screen shoot)

Opera Version 8 and above (screen shoot)
View > Encoding > Chinese > Automatic detection or
Choose for:
    Traditional Chinese one or all of these - Big5, Big5-HKSCS , EUC-TW
    Simplified Chinese one or all of these - GBK/GB2312, GB18030, HZ-GB2312, ISO-2022-CN

After all this and you still can not see Chinese then you might need to up-grade to the latest Browsers, install some Chinese Fonts or install the supporting Language Packs into your operating system.

Please Note:
The three most common encoding's for viewing 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.
