15.2 Chinese Emacs

You can use emacs to edit documents containing Chinese characters. Such a file can be loaded with:

  C-x RET c cn-gb RET C-x C-f present.tex

You can also embed in the file that the encoding to use is cn-gb with the following at the top:

  -*- coding: cn-gb -*-

Or the following line in the Local Variables: section at the bottom of the file:

   
  
  
  %%% coding: cn-gb

To insert a Chinese character:

  C-\ chinese-py RET jiu

Then simply C-\ to toggle the keyboard entry mode.
