Chinese characters in TextEdit
Hi, I have a problem when I cut and paste chinese text from website to TextEdit.

Some networks I connect to open as a Place in the sidebar while others open in a new Finder window eg. my university network. Is this based on the protocol I'm connecting with e.g. ftp, webdav?
