Viewing Chinese characters in the SMB

Hi guys, in case you have been unable to read Chinese words in the SMB. I will be teaching you how to do so in this post. For Internet Explorer 7 users, first press Alt. to bring up the menu bar, then click on "View". A drop-down list will appear and you should place your cursor over "Encoding". Alternatively, you could just right-click on any blank area in your open browser window, then select "Encoding". Click on "more" and this a long of list of encodings will appear. You should be able to see "Chinese Simplified (HZ)". Click on it and refresh the page. Your browser should be able to detect Chinese characters now.

For Mozilla Firefox 3 users, it is the same, except that after you are done selecting the encoding, you should also click on "Auto Detect", then "Chinese". After this, Firefox will be able to view Chinese characters.

  2. Sorry, I am not sure for Opera, Google Chrome and Sun, as I mainly use Firefox. You can surf the Net for answers though.
