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.

Are you sure you're not confusing them with Japanese characters? If there are Chinese characters, using the CHR$ command should work. I don't know the IDs of the characters though.

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.
