Mobile phone ROM are often customized to specific regions to reduce ROM/RAM size. For example, US and international versions of WM5 devices (e.g. Tmobile SDA, iMate SP5, iMate Jasjar) do not include support for locale and character sets such as Chinese and Japanese.
After trying (and failing) several suggestions in postings that generally required copying a Chinese font and setting registry keys to use that font, I came across CE-Star by Mobem Technologies that worked well on both Smartphone and Pocket PCs. It copies the fonts, sets the registries for fonts and IE Mobile, and changes the locale to Hong Kong. The free, downloadable version lets you view Chinese/Japanese, and the paid version gives you input capability for these languages, including handwriting.
I noticed that IE Mobile fails to display some web pages (e.g. News.com) if you change the locale back to English and with IE Mobile set to use Chinese or Unicode encoding.
