Can Chinese be input and displayed without using software??
I'm using TURBOC2 to implement input and output in text mode, but UCDOS uses graphics mode, so while the program is running the screen display is very unstable: garbled screen, color changes, sometimes the text can't be seen.
What method can be used to input and display Chinese in text mode?
I'm using pure DOS, msdos7.10.

I've already been to "New DOS Era" and not a single Chinese tool there can be downloaded. Other software can be downloaded, though.

What is the difference between software and tools
If you really don't want to use software, then I'm afraid you'll just have to write it by hand

The difference between software and tools is: tools come with the operating system and don't need to be installed separately.
Software is installed later
To use tools, you just need to enter the corresponding command under the system, or call the program that comes with the system

In the final analysis: tools are like your hands, when you want to use them, your brain only has to give an order and you can use them
while software is like a "pistol" — if you want to use it, you first have to be able to get one, then there can be any next step!!

I've already gotten a Chinese-language platform now.
What I originally wanted to ask was whether ms-dos7.10 has built-in Chinese input functionality, like the ms-dos under windos, which comes with Chinese input. It only needs one command, and it's relatively fast to use too (in terms of system speed).
I didn't expect that not a single person would answer. By "without using software" I meant not using a Chinese-language platform like ucdos, not not using computer software. I know that the computer's basic operating system itself is software (I'm not an idiot!!)
If people think it's too simple and don't want to say, then why specially set up a beginner learning forum at all???

Re Zhou Gong:

The MS-DOS7.10 provided by this site comes with three Chinese-language platforms. You can choose to install TWAY, CCDOS97, China Dragon (I don't remember too clearly, it may be something else). All of them are quite good Chinese-language platforms and can satisfy most of your requirements. Of course, you can also look for some other standalone Chinese-language platform software that you like.

Your way of putting it, "built-in Chinese input functionality," has quite a problem. No operating system can implement only Chinese input functionality while being separated from a Chinese-language platform; WINDOWS can't either. It is through support for UNICODE at the system's underlying level that it realizes a broad kind of Chinese-language platform.

And the so-called built-in Chinese input in WINDOWS's MSDOS is actually PDOS95. It originated from PDOS6, and like TWAY and the others it is also a Chinese-language platform, and its functions and efficiency are even a bit worse. It's just that Microsoft bundled it for sale, so you don't need to download and install it again. And if you want to run it, any system can be made into a single command through a batch file; in fact PDOS works exactly this way. And you should also know very clearly that in many cases, tool software bundled with the system (that is, built-in) is not as good as tool software provided by third parties.

Also, let me correct a few mistakes:
1. UCDOS does not use graphics mode, but character mode, and there are many character modes under DOS;
2. Your explanation of the difference between tools and software is rather forced. Tools can also be third-party tools; this usage is quite common. Software can also be bundled and installed by the system — IE is a famous example. It is generally called browser software, not browser tool.
