Chinese/japanese/korean characters

Hello from Taiwan!

I was wondering if anyone knew whether there's a way to post chinese characters into blogger. My attempt at posting some (trying to cut and paste the characters from Word) failed. Is there something I should be doing? some software?

Not to make anyone too envious, but lychee are just coming into season this week here and oh, they're selling 4 jin for $3 US (nto sure how much jin equals a pound, but 4 jin is a lot of lychee!). I'm totally pigging out. This is really the only reason to be in Taiwan in June (oh, and to study chinese, of course :-)

    Sorry!!! I'm so slow with this blogging stuff. My second attempt resulted in Chinese characters appearing in the post. Yay!

    I was on a food blog the other day (within the last week I think) and they had posted a page which at least all the special French and German characters, maybe more, and I meant to make a note so I could post a link to it here at food blog s'cool.
    Did anyone else see it and remember which blogger it was?
    It would be a great reference for us all to have the link.

    FYI, 1 jin = 500grams, while 1 lb is 454 grams, so jin is almost the same as pound.

    Very jealous about the lychee btw!
