Probably, Japanese characters are preferred over Chinese characters
on Unicode handling of your Emacs 23.

What's your locale setting? (e.g. LANG=zh_CN)

How about (set-language-environment "Chinese-GB")?

BTW, Emacs 23 is drastically changed from Emacs 22, and Mew has not
yet been well tested with it.  At this time, Emacs 23 isn't a
recommendable version for Mew.
