Can R56/R55 Radio Display Chinese?

I am a Chinese and a new owner of a Clubman and would like to know is there anyway to setup my Clubman's radio to display Chinese Character? I have the USB/aux-in option and downloaded all my Chinese mp3 to my iPod and Flash Drive and all I got is some weird symbol and not the Chinese character that I can read. Is there a way to fix that

Thanks

No, the Radio does not display non-standard characters. I have JPop MP3 files with Japanese Kanji and the radio just displays blank .mp3 for those tracks.

Negative,
I'm able to display some basic Big5 Traditional Chinese Character that some Japanese are using.
You have to switch your locale to Japan.
If you are using Simplified Chinese, chance is not possible.

When I ripped my CDs to my USB drive I just typed out all the titles in pinyin and used the artists' English names.

A bit of a headache when you have several of those three-disc packages with 30-something tracks each, but better than having it just spit out the CD all "NOPE THIS ISN'T A REAL CD".

I heard something about new head units having integrated Spotify, so presumably the display on those will be able to show whatever Spotify would normally show you.
