Yes you are right. The problem has been solved by "charset" - "MS code pages" to "936, Simplified Chinese". A new problem arises. The Chinese characters overlap while the Latin and numberals don't. I am trying to fix it according to Scratch65535's suggestion. Thank you both and the FontForge community.

Just guessing, but maybe the block where that U+4e2d is in has to be declared somehow for Windows to look at it?
