Filter for Chineese Text
I am getting spam that look like Chinese. I copy a piece of the email into a body filter"我已邀请您填写表单". When I run the filter, it does not work like it should. The email does not get moved to trash. Any ideas ho to filter this type of spam?

Is 'Junk for Local Folders' where your Chinese spam message is? If it's in Junk already, I'd say mission accomplished as suggested earlier.
What Matt was trying to tell you: Good luck with adding new Chinese characters to your static filter for virtually every Chinese spam message you'll be receiving.

Trying to fight spam using static filters is pretty much hopeless. Use the built-in junk mail controls instead. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls
I want to delete this type mail, the filter is falling for chinese chars.
does the next mail contain the exact same character in the exact same order?
After ALL, I do not speak or read the Language. But what you have pasted in might say "Good Morning" does the next mail also say the same thing?
Chinese is a language offer by google translate https://translate.google.com/
Try translating some text and see if it matches.
I do not care what it says in chinese. It is spam to me. I would like the filter to match the chinese characters in an email and then do the filter option if it matches. Right now the filter does not match chinese for some reason.
if you have no idea what it says, how do you know the characters in the next message are the same. All of them in the same order. Given how subtly different some characters are from others. that is why I am suggesting you use a translate. my guess is one message says good morning the next says good food for instance.
Matt,
Thanks for the replies. Again, what I am seeing is the filter does not work when you get Chinese language emails. I select off some of it to match, put it the filter and it did not work.
I ... put it the filter and it did not work.
Please explain the exact steps you're doing and what happens.
I opened the chinese language spam, I copied some of the chinese text from the body. I opened my filter, I pasted the text into a "body contains" line. I run the filter and the chinese spam did not get moved to the trash.
The images post show the filter and then how the spam remained after I clicked run.
