What font did you set PuTTY to use?  Does that font support chinese
characters?  Did you "C-x RET t utf-8 RET"?  Did you set up PuTTY to
assume UTF-8 encoding?

May I add that the emacs version may be at issue?  Using 21.3, the above
advice doesn't help me, but with 22.3, 它行!

As an aside, you can get XWindows for MSWindows. This will allow you run
the GUI version of XEmacs from a *NIX box, but displaying on your
MS Windows box.
Cygwin/MinGW do a open-source version; there are commercial versions
available.

... or perhaps Emacs from a *NIX box (but maybe I have missed
something here?) ...

The OP mentioned PuTTY, which is a ssh client for MS Windows.
Thus I assumed he was logging into a remote (and thus *NIX) box
from a MS Windows box.

Thanks, yes I saw that. What I meant was that Emacs also handles X-Windows.

Hmm?
I know that the *NIX version of Emacs uses XWindows,
and the MS-Windows native can (probably) support it
as well.

However, I was assuming that
1) the OP was sitting in front of an MS-Windows box.
2) He was wanting to run Emacs on a remote *NIX box.
    Why he was wanting to run Emacs on the *NIX box
    not the local box was not for me to ask; perhaps
    the remote box has access to resources that the
    MS-Windows box hadn't.

3) He implied that the remote emacs was running in console-mode.

4) He stated that he was ssh'ing into the *NIX box, and
    running emacs there.


Given these, using X-Windows as the display transport
(as long as a CJK(V) font was available to X) would
probably improve his experience.
