Hi Jan. first of all, you need to have a Chinese font installed. LiTE uses gulim.ttf by default, which it looks for in /opt/local/share/fonts/truetype/ on my machine. I don't have it installed so it's a little bit guessing for me from here. Unfortunately, this only works in conjunction with the hantextline widget.
I would propose to, as a first test, simply copy a font with Chinese characters over the default font which is called vera.ttf. Now, you should be able to use and see UTF-8 text. If your text box is not large enough, LiTE will perform truncating, this may lead to funny effects with UTF-8, so have a look how it works in your case.
