How can I show Unicode words in pdf

Question

%% AMS-LaTeX Created by Wolfram Mathematica 9.0 : www.wolfram.com

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, graphics, setspace}

\newcommand{\mathsym}[1]{{}}
\newcommand{\unicode}[1]{{}}

\newcounter{mathematicapage}
\begin{document}

$\unicode{8bbe}\unicode{6709}\unicode{4e8c}\unicode{6b21}\unicode{591a}\unicode{9879}\unicode{5f0f}$

\begin{equation}
f(x,y)=x^2+x y+y^2
\end{equation}

\end{document}

I cannot see the Unicode words/Chinese words.

I use WinEdt/CTex

To type Chinese, you should read this post: How does one type Chinese in LaTeX? — Leo Liu, Oct 07 '13 at 07:43

If you use a proper font with a modern TeX engine (XeTeX or LuaTeX), it is not difficult to typeset any Unicode glyph.

XeLaTeX is preferred for Chinese. To type Chinese, you should read this post: How does one type Chinese in LaTeX?

Mathematica's output is not very well. It is better to fix the problem in some Mathematica way, if possible. Anyway, this is a patch for your code:

% UTF-8 encoding!
% Compile with XeLaTeX!
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, graphics, setspace}

\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{SimSun}

\newcommand{\unicode}[1]{\uppercase{\text{\symbol{"#1}}}}

\newcounter{mathematicapage}
\begin{document}

$\unicode{8bbe}\unicode{6709}\unicode{4e8c}\unicode{6b21}\unicode{591a}\unicode{9879}\unicode{5f0f}$

\begin{equation}
f(x,y)=x^2+x y+y^2
\end{equation}

\end{document}

It works, thanks, do you happen use mathematica? one workaround is to change unicode{8bbe} into chinese by StringReplace. I've updated in Mathematica.SE – HyperGroups Oct 07 '13 at 08:32
In my...Text Cell would still have inline dollar demileters $sdfs$ by default. – HyperGroups Oct 07 '13 at 08:33
@HyperGroups: Well, that's my fault. – Leo Liu Oct 07 '13 at 10:02

\uppercase{\text{\symbol{"#1}}} is simpler – egreg Oct 07 '13 at 10:35
@egreg: You're right. – Leo Liu Oct 07 '13 at 10:40
