Chinese fonts on a GUI button

I am trying to build a GUI that has buttons with English and Chinese words on them. However, when I write the text in the 'String' field of the button's property inspector, the Chinese text is automatically erased leaving only the English text. Does anyone know how to add the Chinese text on a GUI button? Thanks.

Thanks. But it doesn't work for me. Using the HTML did work but I don't know how to find the ASCII values of my chinese text?

Chinese characters do not have ASCII values because ASCII is only defined up to value 127, and includes only the basic Latin alphabet.

To know how to encode the Chinese characters you have to first know what character encoding system you are going to use, e.g. UTF-8 , UTF-16 , GB 2312 . etc. Of course this encoding cannot be ASCII, as ASCII does not include Chinese characters.

Once you know your encoding then you can look up the values in an index, such as this one for Unicode characters . Note that Unicode is not a single character encoding system, but a standard that defines several character encoding systems.
