Chinese are not displayed in vi / vim on Windows OS

Solution 1:

(1) Change your system locale into 'Chinese (simplified, PRC)'. Restart computer.

(2) Edit the file - C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\_vimrc, and append the following code -


        " 字符编码{{{
" Vim显示的编码(设置这个不会改变文件的编码){
        if has('win32') || has('win64')
        set encoding=utf-8
        set termencoding=chinese
        endif
" }
" 编辑已存在的文件时的参考文件编码.需要注意顺序,前面的字符集应该比后面的字符集大{
        set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,cp936,gb18030,big5,euc-jp,euc-kr,latin1
" }
" }}}

Open your text file with gvim. You should be able to read Chinese now. Congratulations!



Solution 2: download WinVi from  http://www.winvi.de/en/email.html . Chinese can be read in WinVi.

Solution 3: install Cygwin. Choose vim when installing Cygwin. Run Cygwin. Open your file with vim.
