how to display chinese character in txt file on ubuntu 16.04
I went to language support and installed both simplified / traditional chinese but when I open up the .txt which I believe is opened with gedit and I see encoded words. I don't need to type Chinese inputs, as long as I can read them.
P.S. if my .txt file is named in chinese my system do read it though for example chinese.txt (which chinese is of course encoded chinese characters)
Edit:
This is how the texts looks like
