Hi Lois

Thanks for the help.  However, I still have few doubts if you don't mind:

1. All I'm doing is load characters from a text file and display them as
    menu item names.  I've tried writing some characters in Unicode
    (for each character I used this style:: \u5C71), but when I load the
    file in my Java application these characters showed up as question
    marks (?).  I had a Chinese viewer opend while I did this but
    obviously it didn't work.  You mentioned about providing chinese
    font, do I have to do that, and how should I do that?
2. Is there a code mapping chart that shows the mapping of each
    Chinese character (or characters of other language) to its
    corresponding Unicode.

Thanks again

KW
