Windows NT’s internal encoding is Unicode, so it can support Unicode Chinese characters if a Big5 font is installed. However, Windows 95 uses the ANSI codepage, which limits it to the 8859_1 code page. Therefore, on Windows 95 a TextArea component won’t work correctly with Big5 encoded Chinese characters.
