[Question]
I have been asked many times for how to correctly display, lets say Chinese Character, on Windows, thus I simply put the solution here for anyone who might meet the same problem :)
[Interpretation]
There are 2 kinds of an incorrectly displayed Chinese Character: a question mark anda square. If you see question marks, then it means characters cannot be read or interpreted by your Windows, therefore you need to install the Chinese language package; but if you only see squares instead, it means your system understands them but it cannot find a proper way to display them and you don't really have to (re-)install the language package.
[Solution]
Question Mark
You need to install language packages. You could find a huge amount of articles via Google showing how to do it. Here is an official one:[1].
Squares
You need to select corresponding fonts w.r.t. your languages. For example, Chinese => Microsoft YaHei would be a good choice. How to do it: [2]
Then you should have those Characters displaying on your screen correctly :). Good luck!
