Eventhough I have installed most of the fonts to support chinese simple, traditional,taiwanese,etc PC does not recognize the chinese characters and displays texts like this "µÇ¼ÃÜÂë", "µÇ ¼". Can somebody please help me in configuring my PC to display the chinese texts. I googled & believe that this is forum having the people to help me out. Please help me. Thanks. prasad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted July 19, 2011 at 10:42 AM Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 at 10:42 AM You probably have fonts necessary. I recommend changing the encoding until you see something that makes sense. From looking at the short examples you've provided, it seems like GB 2312 is most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_redman Posted July 19, 2011 at 02:11 PM Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 at 02:11 PM It is GB2312. The garbled text translates to {登录密码", "登 录}. Which OS, which software, and which default language? Sometimes, the OS settings are right, but some Chinese web pages claim to be Unicode when they are really GB (or, more commonly, Big5 for Taiwanese sites). Firefox has a forced character encoding that can fix this for an individual page. But if you are seeing this on every page, the problem may be elsewhere.
