Is there any OS or other computer program which accepts input of traditional Chinese characters? How would you enter them?

OS X does. It displays the english characters underlined, and when they match a Chinese meaning they then display the potential Chinese characters for you to select.

Puppy makes it clear that this is a project created for English speakers. In view / character encoding of Firefox (and simimilar for Mozilla) are the Unicode offerings that support other scripts.

How much this helps or whether of any interest or further use I do not know. I hope it helps.

The Puppy linux is support Uni-code
A easy way to display chinese characters in Abi word and firfox etc
is make a directory .fonts in /root/ and copy ttf font to it.
The firefox can display chinese characters .

Is there a way to display non basic ASCII chars directly from Puppy (not from Firefox, Opera etc.). When I try browse my harddisc with included image viewer (GTKSee) the folders that contain non basic ASCII are not displayed. This make Puppy unusable for me (I try Puppy 1.0.1 with Opera). Any solution?
