Emails and some chinese web sites do not display Chinese properly. They have strange symbols, letters and numbers. They won't translate

Google has permitted a great deal of spyware from the Chinese government onto all of their Chinese groups, for monitoring purposes. As a result, any e-mail sent from these groups has to go through firewalls, and is treated as if it were infected with a virus. The purging process in these firewalls tends to trash the code. I can look at material on these sites, but cannot receive comprehensible e-mails from them. The code is trashed to purge the spyware "viruses".

You need to install the Chinese language pack.
If you are NOT running Windows XP, but ARE running Microsoft Office, then go here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/recommended/ime/default.mspx to select the right Chinese language pack for your version of Office. (The ability to display the characters does not just apply to office programs, it is system wide).
If you ARE running a Windows XP machine, go to http://www.windowsupdate.com and do a custom install. Select the Chinese language pack from the Optional category on the left. You do not need any version of MS Office to display Chinese characters in Windows XP if you install the language pack.
Once last thing, it is possible the that email program you are using is also interfering with your ability to display Chinese characters.
The best way to test this is to go get the updates as I described above, then go to a Chinese website and see if it display correctly (obviously answer yes when prompted to install the language pack).
If the web pages display correctly, then you know your machine is able to , its just your email program (Yahoo, gmail, MSN, whatever) is messing it up.
Try to get a separate email client (Outlook Express comes on all windows machines, and if you have the language packs install will support Chinese characters) and read your email that way.

I think what are you trying to solve is how would chinese characters will display? It really depends, i think - but if you are using windows XP like me, you need to have your office xp installer in hand, to install different languages that could read characters (and that includes chinese!) :)

1st you'll probably need your Windows XP CD...next...Go into the control panel Regional and Languages control panel . Click the Languages tab and check "install files for East Asian Languages", and then ok.

go into Internet explore options. under general select languages and add Chinese to it and you'll see it normally. remember you must restart your IE before it works you might need your windows cd to install the packet.

You have to adjust the settings under your tool bar:
View-Encoding-More-Chinese (different variations)
