[Bf-committers] how to make python script contain and display utf-8 characters in blender?

I don't believe blender's text editor can display chinese fonts
correctly.  Doing so would require a more advanced font rendering
library then we're using, and major changes in the code.  I'd suggest
using an external text editor to code external modules, that you can
call with a simple script in blender (e.g. make a module called Foo,
and do import Foo in the blender text editor to import it).  You may
want to read up on the PYTHONPATH variable for more information on how
to properly do this though.
