The Windows 95 system supports translation to/from Unicode (UCS-2) from/to
various encoding formats.
The Windows NT 4.0 system uses Unicode (UCS-2) internally and also allows
for translation to/from various encoding formats. Any language version of
NT 4.0 can handle any Unicode characters. However, if you want to install
the encoding translation support for Simplified Chinese you need to install
that support separately. This is only necessary if you want to work in some
encoding other than Unicode. Let me know if you need to do this. If you
need to edit or input the Chinese characters using an Input Method Editor
(IME) then you will need to use the Chinese version of NT4.
