Accessing the Chinese Font?

Hi, I’m trying to make a text-based game that uses a custom font for sprites. On the default font list, there’s a HUGE section of Chinese characters, but I can’t find how to type them in any program to actually use them for custom sprites. Any way to type them out, or is it a regional thing?

I think it's japanese. There's a section on the keyboard for them. Next to the shift button, there're three buttons. The one with "A" is selected. Tap the one on the far right.

There's list here: http://smilebasic.com/en/supplements/unicode/

YES THANK YOU I've been searching for a full SB character list all my life... since about 3 months ago! ...and never bothered to check their website!

Me too... _{(Now I updatet this link to my Submission "CHR$(?) Codes")}

You mean all those obscure chrs that look like 8x8 blocks of random noise? I don't think you can type them out from the SB keyboard, but I do think some tools were created for creating strings of them. Idk, I don't speak Japanese.

In the SYS folder there's a file named KANJKTBL containing them all.

Ah. See, I don’t know Japanese and looked up Chinese characters since I couldn’t find any matching Japanese characters to letters on the bottom, and they looked similar enough. Oh well.

That worked, thanks!

I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure all, if not most Japanese kanji characters were actually borrowed from Chinese, so it would make sense you would think there's a Chinese font if you didn't know Japanese but you did know Chinese.

The word kanji quite literally means "Chinese character" in Japanese.
