You can use this tool to create the desired characters and then transfer them into the appropriate fields of a Quia activity editor. When using NJStar Communicator or any other add-on tools, be sure that the character encoding of both the tool and the browser is set to Unicode and/or UTF-8.

If Asian or non-Western European characters do not show up correctly in your activities, you should first check whether you can correctly view Quia's language test page. If not, you should check that your browser is using the correct character encoding when viewing Quia pages. (In Internet Explorer or Firefox, you can see the current Web page's character encoding by navigating to View->Encoding or View->Character encoding.) The encoding should be Unicode and/or UTF8.
