The good thing with Unicode is that all characters can be displayed in any language or country regardless of what language your computer operating system is set to. This is not the case if you use a language-specific character set. In this case the recipient must have the same character system installed otherwise the characters are not displayed correctly. With Unicode, you do not have this problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chinese text in USA<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you for example want to create a newsletter in Chinese and send it to email recipients in the US using American Windows, you can fix this easily by using the <strong>Unicode (UTF-8)<\/strong> character set. The newsletter will be displayed in Chinese for your receivers even if they do not use Chinese Windows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Select Unicode (UTF-8) in MultiMailer<\/strong><br \/>\nTo create or send out a newsletter that uses Unicode, you have to set it in MultiMailer. To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. Start MultiMailer<br \/>\n2. Select from the menu <strong>Settings &#8211; Options<\/strong><br \/>\n3. Select the tab <strong>Language<\/strong><br \/>\n4. In the drop-down menu <strong>E-mail character set<\/strong> select &#8220;Unicode (UTF-8) &#8211; [utf-8]&#8221;<br \/>\n5.
