How to do foreign characters like Chinese?

Hello all again,

Another question here. I'd love to know if there's a way to do foreign characters like Chinese via the Roku? Any foreign character that I try to print to the Roku doesn't print at all. It must either (a) not be supported or (b) be a simple option that I'm overlooking.

Thank you for your help!

    For those components where you can provide your own font file, it should work with UTF8 characters. The built-in fonts do not provide non-western glyphs. Are you supplying your own font?

    Ah ok. I'll look into providing fonts with the application.

    I appreciate the tip.
