​Hi Peter,
​

​Mmm, not sure you'll get *only* Chinese characters,
but at least any entity with only 5 numbers.

This function returns true if find any, false otherwise:
​
function testForChinese T
​xt​
​ -- any htmltext​
   return matchText(
​Txt
, "&#\d{5};")
end testForChinese


​Regards,

Thierry​
