Chinese characters

I have a list of last names that can be in different languages:
chinese, english, russian, german, etc. Different format need to be
applied only for last names in chinese. For this purpose, I need to
check if last name contains chinese characters. Any ideas how to do it
(it should be data related check)?

Thank you,
Ludmila

Identify the range of Chinese characters (using the code charts at
http://www.unicode.org) and look through each character in the last
name (eg using String.Split or a regex to get the last name) and see
whether or not it's Chinese.

Hello all, I am having a few issues with encoding to chinese characters and perhaps someone might be able to assist. At the moment I am only able to see chinese characters when displayed as part of a datagrid. When an input textbox is displayed it does not display chinese characters, but rather the unicode characters stored in the mssql 2000 server backend.

For the traditional chinese characters, they were shown correctly, but for simplified characters, I encounted many "?", but some characters were correct.
