Please show your code. But you probably just need to use the `u'someUnicode'` syntax for string literals. Note the `u` prefix before the first quote character.

You may also need to install the CJK fonts: [Designer doesn't support Chinese well](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/designer-doesnt-support-chinese-well/23281/5?u=kevin.herron)

i found in 8.0.10RC1 Designer support Chinese  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/5/585bd5b9cb34fc5f7b2ff744fd4e357935d3e263.png) in previous version i have to replace the document jre-win  
but in 8.0.10RC1 no need  
Last time when i update from 8.0.7 to 8.0.8 i have to do that  
but this time if i do the same action , it will report fault.  
then the client can directly read the Chinese as well , perfect improvement.
