Hello,
i have problem with visualization of chinese characters. I try to open an
internet chinese page, i copied some text and i paste it into WordPad. It's
all ok for now. I saved this document into a Unicode txt File, but when i try
to open it with notepad or UltraEdit i can see only Boxes!! I need it because
i've to open this file with a visual basic application, and i've to show
chinese character in my application!
Is there someone that can help me?
i'm very in difficult...
thanks
Best Regards

I believe ASCII is 8-bit based and uni-code is 16-bit based (that is, the
number of bits used to represent each character). Thus, if you try to read
uni-code in a ASCII text reader it just doesn't work, and it shows little
boxes at places it can't figure out how to interpret the data...

That probably doesn't help to solve your problem, but it might explain what
you've described...
