Adam Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hey everyone. I've never had to use Chinese characters before so this is fairly new ground and I'm a little clueless. Basically at work we're extending multi-lingual support to traditional Chinese, and the content's stored within in a mix of files and databases. Simply pasting the characters into vim doesn't work, and I didn't really expect it to. Could any point me in the right direction as to how you'd work with Chinese characters? Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 You have to make sure that you're using UTF-8 or Big5 as your character set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for that, although still having problems. Within vim I've manually set the encoding to UTF-8 using :set encoding=utf-8 .. I've ensured "+multi_byte" was compiled, and I've also changed the 'translation' settings for PuTTY. However still when I try to paste Chinese text into vim, the characters are just appearing broken. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
