You could do it using the &1234; type codes, or copy it directly from another source, like a character map program. Bear in mind that if you do the latter, you'll need to output a utf 8 meta tag with the html output too.

Iâm trying to convert from English to Chinese using characters such as â ÃÂâÃÂÅâ The browser interprets these into, in this case, Japanese but my code needs to display in Chinese. The internet is giving all kinds of code to convert from English into the Chinese language. I need to put in Unicode characters that the browser will make the final change into Chinese words. Iâm using define("CHARSET","UTF-8"); So the question is how does one enter Chinese Unicode?? Thanks, ..../Ernie
