SUMMARY

This article describes how to display traditional Chinese or Japanese characters in ISQL/w in an English Windows NT Server 4.0 environment.

The double-byte character set (DBCS) code pages for the Far East languages are not supported by default in non-localized versions of Windows NT Server 4.0. It is necessary to have DBCS code pages, such as 932 or 950, and the appropriate fonts installed to display traditional Chinese or Japanese characters. The code pages 932 and 950 can be manually added to the Windows NT Server 4.0 system.

For additional information about code page installation, refer to Method Two (Add the Code Page by Means of an .Inf Script), in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
