My iLiad is Europe version, so I don't know how Chinese version does the job. By conjecture, I bet iRex provides another text viewer for China version.
As I said in the above post, it's the problem of individual app. To make a test, since you have Japanese font installed, you can create a directory in your memory card with Japanese string, then you will find that Japanese file name is displayable on your contentlister. That means contentlister is capable of dealing with Japanese glyphs. So, you can infer that poor design is the reason why official text viewer not being able to display national glyphs.

Added:
Fortunately, we have some other alternatives.
You can find a app: LeafPad for iLiad in the forum, it should be capable of displaying national glyphs, at least Chinese glyph is ok.
LeafPad is just a proor-of-concept for you to test if national text is displayable on iLiad. In essence, it's a text editor, not a text viewer.
