Can't see the Chinese characters in VIM

Question

I find that when I type Chinese characters(encoded with utf-8) into VIM,I cannot see them at all while they do exist there.I can copy and paste them into other text editors and it seems everything is fine.How can I fix this problem?Thanks!

Answer 1

you are not using a font which contains the glyphs needed to display the characters you typed.

so, choose the right font via

:set guifont=*

or

:set guifontwide=*

which would pop up a font-selection-dialog. and once you have a working font make it permanent by putting

set guifont=YOURFONT

to your .gvimrc / .vimrc
