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. I'm using define("CHARSET","UTF-8");
So the question is how does one enter Chinese Unicode??

Ernie:
First of all, there is a definite difference
between languages and using Unicode char sets are
very specific. If you indeed used a Chinese
character, then it should not be changed to a
Japanese character except for those characters
that may overlap -- but even then while they may
look alike (same glyph), they have their own
unique code-point so they are different.
Here are some references re Unicode:

Also realize that you have not only Chinese and
Japanese char sets, but there are "Traditional"
and "Simplified" variations of both. Here's
another reference:
