On what device is it showing up unreadable? Have you confirmed that the device is capable of displaying Chinese?
of course kindle 3

I've tried UTF8 and UTF8 with signature (which is BOM formatted?). Both resulting mobi were basically able to be displayed on k3, but with some unreadable characters, like squares.

I've also found nowhere to specify input encoding in Calibre
