How the HTML support Chinese Character?

Post by gnel2000 »

I'm trying to create a html page with chinese words.
I knew that i have to set the charset to either big5 or utf8.
The problem now is when i view it in the browser, it come out "????????" all in question marks.
I was wonder how the HTML and chinese words works?
Do my server must support chinese characters? During uploading to server, what need to be concern?

i really appreciate anyone explain to me how to create a chinese character page, i'm totally clueless in this.

you most likely need a chinese language pack installed with your browser
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

What you need is UNICODE support... BTW Unicode support started from Win2K...
