Hi Experts...
I have a c# form application with a text box and a button. I type Chinese character in the text box and press the button to assign the input to a string using the following code


 String  chineseChar = Textbox1.Text ;

But it assigns boxes to chineseChar variable.
what is the problem please help me out.

Sam's right. If a font doesn't support a particular unicode character then it typically displays a box instead.

You can use label instead of any string variable and keep the visible property to false..remember to change font property of label to chinese character use it whenever you want as label1.Text

The problem might not be the data but the way it is being shown. You probably need a Unicode font. What font is used for the textbox and what font is being used when you see the boxes?
