title: How to Make Emacs Display Chinese Characters
body: <p>I often use simple Chinese phrases like "你好" to test that my code can handle non-ascii characters. Whenever I enter Chinese characters directly into Emacs, they just come out as question marks. </p>
  
  <p>Emacs can sometimes display characters properly if I open a premade text file but not always. For example, if I create a simple text file in Notepad with "你好" in it, the 好 displays fine but 你 just shows a box. Can Emacs handle Chinese characters? If so, how do I set it up?</p>
  
  <p>I'm running Emacs 22.3.1 on Windows with the Courier New font, but I'm also curious about having this work on Linux. I have all the needed Eastern Language packages installed. I can edit in Chinese in Notepad with no problem.</p>
