My locale was set to Japanese, so it might be appropriate to prefer JISX0212 over Big5 (I'm not sure though - how widespread is JISX0212 support even within Japan? Windows only seems to have support for JISX0208.1990 AFAICT). I am not sure what it does in a European locale, but Big5 would be more appropriate there IMHO. > Have you tried to set current-language-environment to something > like "Chinese-BIG5" or "Chinese-GB" ? > > Also how does the CF_TEXT currently work for those chinese users? Since recently, Emacs uses Big5 (cp950) or GB (cp936) out of the box. Previously the user could set selection-coding-system themselves to get the right thing, but the default in all locales was latin-1, which was only really appropriate for users from English speaking countries (excluding Eire).
