I have not used Notes R6 extensively but based on my understanding of the
Notes R4 - R5 code, the mail content area is a Notes Rich Text field,
which is implemented internally to Notes. It's not a Windows control
therefore will not be responsive to code that hooks into Windows controls.

Notes is localized for many countries,including, I think, Chinese,
although the Notes R6 Beta is probably US-English only. I suggest you
experiment with a copy of Notes R5 with Chinese localization.

If you need technical details on how localized versions of Notes handle
alternate keyboard input methods, let me know and I'll see what I can dig
up.

We have tried with R5 and the result was the same.
and when I typed "你" (Chinese of "you"), I got unicode 4f60 in
windows/defwnd.c

LRESULT WINAPI DefWindowProcA( HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam );

case WM_IME_CHAR:
charW = wParam;
printf("DefWindowProcA WM_IME_CHAR %08x\n", charW); // I got it correct!
- 4f60 (unicode of "you" in Chinese)

//Is there something wrong here?

{
CHAR chChar1 = (CHAR)( (wParam>>8) & 0xff );
CHAR chChar2 = (CHAR)( wParam & 0xff );

SendMessageA( hwnd, WM_CHAR, (WPARAM)chChar1, lParam );
if ( IsDBCSLeadByte( chChar1 ) )
SendMessageA( hwnd, WM_CHAR, (WPARAM)chChar2, lParam );
}

break;

or it does not cater for Asian characters coz it seemed seperating 2
bytes to send for output.
When I replaced with
SendMessageA(hwnd, WM_CHAR, wParam, lParam);

It does not display any characters.

or I should modify dlls/richedit/richedit.c?

Something really wrong there. You shouldn't receive unicode characters
in the ANSI (DefWindowProcA) message handler. Apparently mapping of
WM_IME_CHAR and friends to/from unicode should be added in windows/winproc.c.

Just look how it was done for WM_CHAR, and try to add WM_IME_CHAR there.

Thank all for your hints.

Somehow we checked that we run with --winver win2k and we can input 
Chinese/Japnese without any problems
