Chinese characters content

I want to convert my English leaflet into Chinese. So I started to replace English text with Chinese, but that doesn't work as the characters don't show up. Can someone tell me how to change my page settings to UTF-8 so that I can add my Chinese text? Thanks.

Change your font to one that contains Chinese characters.

The fonts with special character support are in alphabetically order inbetween the 'regular' fonts; they are grouped at the bottom of the font list, separated by lines. (And it suddenly occurs to me a label would've been nice -- you will have to try each one to see if it supports the characters you need.)
