I have a textblock like follows:

<TextBlock x:Name="TestTextBlock" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="105,22,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="abc苹果" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="48" Width="185"/>

This is what I see: http://i.imgur.com/OE4nPzP.png (top is in Expression Blend, bottom is in Unity).

The chinese characters are not visible and the text is a different colour, I'm not sure what I should be doing to try and find out why this isn't working? Unity text meshes do support the chinese characters and I know Noesis supports it too so maybe I'm missing something simple?

Our default font, Roboto, doesn't include all Unicode characters. To render specific unicode characters you have to use a font file that includes them. I tried to use Arial Unicode MS and Gulim found in my Windows\Fonts folder and I was able to render that text correctly. To use those fonts you have to copy the .ttf to your Unity project (next to your xaml file), and create the corresponding .font for each font. For example, the Gulim.font file would contain the following:

gulim.ttc

And in the xaml they are referenced as follows:

<Grid
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
        <TextBlock Text="abc苹果" FontFamily="#Arial Unicode MS" FontSize="30" Foreground="White"/>
        <TextBlock Text="abc苹果" FontFamily="#Gulim" FontSize="30"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

About the foreground color, if you are using NoesisStyle.xaml this gray color is the default foreground color of all controls.
