Q:

Is it not possible to Paste Chinese Characters on Windows Form Text Box

I am working on a WinForm App and I have a text box where I am pasting texts from Google Translator. I have got positive results with several Sematic and Indo Languages but Chinese characters appear as Boxes.
Is there any way to overcome this?

A:

You should use appropriate Unicode font which supports CJK encodings. The better one is "Arial Unicode MS", but it may be absent on
OS earlier than Vista without MS Office installed. In this case you may use another font like "NSimSun".

string arialUnicodeFontFace = "Arial Unicode MS";
Font unicodeFont = new Font(arialUnicodeFontFace, fontSize);
if (unicodeFont.Name != arialUnicodeFontFace)
    unicodeFont = new Font("NSimSun", fontSize);

yourTextBox.Font = unicodeFont;

You may also look at the list of all supported CJK fonts in different versions of Windows:
