Displaying Chinese / Japanese Unicode text...

I have C++ Builder 6 and have an application where I need to be able to 
display Chinese and Japanese.

Basically, I don't need anything fancy but simply to be able to print out 
Unicode Chinese and Japanese text.  (I have designed a system that segments 
Chinese & Japanese text into "words".  I need a way to see the output to 
ensure it is working right).

What is the best way to display Chinese or Japanese text?  Are there any 
components that take Unicode?  (An editor component would be best, labels 
would be ok, any other alternatives would be fine too -- I just need to be 
able to print out Unicode Chinese and Japanese text.)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Art

Several, it depends how many places you need to do it.

If it's only in a few places such as an app that won't be translated to
Chinese and just needs to be able to show captions or somesuch then you
can paint the text yourself using TextOutW. For something like a TLabel
it's pretty trvial but for something like TListView it begins to get
complicated :)

If you're looking to write an application that is fully Unicode enabled
so that it can be translated to Chinese or Japanese then you probably
do need a proper set of Unicode components. For translation I
personally favour:

But there are also the TNT components:
