I don't know any other way to do it. At some stage you'll have to have
the Chinese text in a String.

Slow down and think. \uCODE is just for literals that are going to be
compiled. If you have text in a database or text file it will be in some
encoding like UTF-8 or UTF-16 or GB18030 or something else. There are
String constructors that will convert a byte array to an Unicode String.

You must use a BaseFont that has the characters you need. For example
Arial will do for Russian, Hebrew and Arabic but won't do for Chinese.

Yes. Set the font and the text in PdfSignatureAppearance.
