Why this .vi file display Garbage Characters while opened in LabView UI?

[johndoe20200511]

The button strings, most of them , are written in Chinese characters.

But I think it should display fine, because we can use UTF-8 encoding , right ?

I have installed an evaluation version of the 2018 labview software, which is an English version, 

 I do not think I will have to download 2G more files, to reinstall a Chinese version, that would be toooo time &Downstream Traffic consuming !

Why not just display correct in an English version ?

It is supposed to display like this

While it actually displayed like this-_-

I am using an evaluation of labview 2018

LabVIEW doesn't handle UTF-8.  It can handle UTF-16 LE (with some effort).  https://forums.ni.com/t5/Reference-Design-Content/LabVIEW-Unicode-Programming-Tools/ta-p/3493021

How would LabVIEW know how to translate Chinese characters to English?  Your talking about programmer defined labels for controls.  It might be a bunch of random chinese symbols that have no translation to English.  Just like someone could create labels in English that aren't words, but just abbreviation or even gibberish.

I think that this is the result of trying to display a double-byte character set in single bytes.  I believe it is Windows that chooses to display the results in Chinese.  I forget exactly why, but it has something to do with the Unicode page number or something.

I think I misunderstood the first post.
