Enable your Windows XP for Chinese

Character map (do you have the latest fonts)


Open the Character map to look at the characters in a font
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character map
look at the following fonts
China developed a font called SimSun (Simplified Sung 宋体) and NSimSun (New SimSun)
Taiwan developed a font called MingLiU (Traditional Ming 明體) and NMingLiu (New MingLiu)
These fonts are structurally the same. There is only a difference in style
At the top, select one of the above fonts (SimSun or MingLiu)
Early versions of these fonts only included (Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs)
scroll down and find hexadecimal character 4E00 which is the Chinese character "一"
This is the first character in the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs
