Chinese text

Hello,
I have an English pc and I have to make Chinese htlm files. I have the Chinese
text in a text file and I use copy/paste function to insert the text in the
htlm file. Actually, the Chinese pc does not read the Chinese texte from my
htlm file. I know that there are things to set up in code like:
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=Big5">
Where Big5 means Chinese caracters.
But it still does not work.

What else shall I have to do ?
