You should be able to enable your OS IME (Input Method Editor) from the regional settings in the control panel. This allows you to input foreign characters by providing the appropriate input interface for the given language.

For example: Courier will not show asian character types (you will just see either a bunch of square blocks, or question marks). However if you display the same using Tahoma, and you have the language packs installed, it should show up correctly. Not all fonts cater for unicode characters, you may have to experiment to see which ones do.
