b A spreadsheet may help you to enter Eastern characters.
You are working with AppleWorks 6 an you wish to enter text using an eastern language but don't wish to switch to an eastern keyboard.
Not really a problem.
Create a spreadsheet matching the trailing description.
Of course, no need to enter every formulas by hand.
Fill A1 thru A10
Fill B1
select B1..B10 then, menu "Calculate > Fill down"
apply the "CE.font" of your choice
Fill C1 & C2
select C1 thru C32 then, menu "Calculate > Fill Special…"
fill D1
select D1..D10 then, menu "Calculate > Fill down"
apply the "CE.font" of your choice
and so on.
You may set a large size (18 for instance) and adjust columns widths and row heights accordingly.
When you want one of these "eastern" characters, select one and drag and drop it where you need it.
Of course, you may also use this sheet for every font you wish to use.
You may even select all then "Edit > Paste Special > Values only"
After that, you will be able to delete the columns containing the character's code.
The sheet will be smaller and it will be easier to apply one font.
