If you're writing a viewer, then you have a lot of control over how
things are displayed. If you're creating a full-blown OS hack to
handle Chinese (which sounds like the case, since you want to be able
to edit Chinese in a field), then you've got a lot of work ahead of
you.
Note that there are already several of these Chinese system hacks for
Palm OS (both simplified and traditional), which you can find at any
of the Palm software web sites.
