This is a bit of a question of what we want ... the fonts used in our decoder (Liberation Fonts, which are free) cannot render Chinese symbols, nor can either one of us read them (Jeremy might) ... in a sense, if something does decode to a Unicode symbol in the Chinese range, it is more often an obfuscated font or decoder error than an actual Chinese symbol ...

You can still enter these symbols in the font editor, though, but they are highly likely to render as placeholder question marks, indicating the font used for rendering doesn't have a glyph.
