I write a simple test program (as attached Zip file) to test the file input.

tr.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets,"news.txt"))
line = tr.ReadLine
Listview1.AddSingleLine(line)

The above three statements are the main statements
It works, but can't be display in Chinese as the screen picture shown.(pls reference the attached png file)
If use Label display like lblmsg2.Text = " Read file Finished 完成讀檔程序", the Chinese can be display OK.
Please teach me how to solve the problem.
Thanks a lot.
Andy

Dear Sir Manfred
It works nice as the attached picture of the result.
Do you change something about the news.txt?
I type the news file by using the Window's notebook function
Please teach me how to change the characteristic of the txt file.
By the way, May we narrow down the gap between each line of the listview.
Thank you for your kindness to help me.
Andy

do not use windows notepad!! It is the baddest Texteditor known.

Download Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
When writing a file you should ensure that you are saving it with UTF8-Encoding.

Yes. I loaded it in notepad++, changed the encoding of the file to utf8 and saved the file. then i run your app again.
