How to display a Chinese variable in HMI (CPS is also OK)

[ZYYZZZ]

Hello, dear colleges,

Recently I have encountered a difficult problem, now i need your helps! 

I need to display Chinese characters on the HMI, and these characters are stored in variables. The content of these variables is obtained from a service that sends Chinese text to TwinCAT. So I cannot define them in advance in CPS.

Are there any solutions for displaying a Chinese variable in HMI?

Thank you in advance!

2. You need add a  PLC variable and select the variable type - STRING
3. Add a newview and add a Mod_VarOut toolbox
