To put it simply: if you want č to appear, you have to press č on your
keyboard. If you want 红 to appear, you have to have the correct IME
and enter the characters required for 红 to appear. If you type "This
is a test", you'll get "This is a test" on the screen, as long as the
font has Latin characters mapped properly (which nearly all fonts do).
