If Chinese cannot be displayed normally on your computer, you may need a font. But with your description, you might just need an input method? For fonts, I recommend WenQuanYi(??????), it is a very good open source Chinese font. Just use the command to install it (actually, it is a set of fonts with different styles, you can choose to install according to your needs): apt install fonts-wqy-microhei apt install fonts-wqy-zenhei If what you actually need is an input method, I think ibus may be a good choice, you can configure Chinese input through its GUI. I actually use the ibus-rime(a rime input method engine encapsulated using the ibus framework), but it may require more manual configuration and is not suitable for beginners of a language. -- OpenPGP fingerprint: 3C47 5977 4819 267E DD64 C7E4 6332 5675 A739 C74E
