I know that plan9=20 supports unicode but I still find some of Chinese characters display=20 funny. Is it a font issue or something?

exactly.

It is rare to find a unicode font that has _very_ wide coverage,
though some plan9 fonts are better than others in this respect.

This is not somthing I have used much so hopefully someone will
chime in with font suggestions.

Is it a font issue or something? i would recommend cyberbit which is included with 9atom. i'd be interested in hearing your impressions of the characters as i don't speak chinese. ; echo $font /lib/font/bit/cyberbit/mod14.font you can copy it with the following commands srv -n -q tcp!atom.9atom.org atom && mount $nflag /srv/atom /n/atom atom cd /lib/font/bit && mkdir cyberbit && disk/mkfs -z 16000 -vkU -s /n/atta`{pwd} -d . <{echo +} - erik
