TextMate doesn't use the standard OS text handling (so Allan can make  
TM do more), so at present doesn't support double-byte character  
display very well (and CJK input method not at all). You can see a  
thread on this topic starting here:

You can search the email archives using site:lists.macromates.com  
(the commox.textdrive.com archives linked to from the list sig isn't  
being Googled apparently).
