I want to make a program for learning chinese characters, that's why I
need to display chinese characters on labels, buttons, memo or
comboboxes

I can't manage to do it with the IME (the program doesn't accept my
text and leaves the cell empty after I type in chinese)
Is there any other way to let the program display them ?

What operating system are you using?? And what Lazarus versions??

If it's on Linux then you will have problems using Chinese with Gtk1,
because it requires a iso encoding.

Try Gtk2 for Linux, it accepts UTF-8 strings. Then you will need to
encode your strings as utf-8 on the source file. You can either
compile the IDE for Gtk2 or use another editor to edit the strings on
the source file and make them UTF-8 chinese.
