I used "TR.CommonName" to get the company name, it get English name , but if I want to get the company name from Exchange on HK,SH,SZ that on Chinese name.

In Eikon, the company name in the local language can be retrieved in DSPLY_NMLL field, and it can be displayed with a specific font.

You can request this field:

>>> df,err =ek.get_data('0880.HK', 'DSPLY_NMLL')
>>> df
  Instrument DSPLY_NMLL
0    0880.HK     ????/d
>>> name=df.iloc[0][1]

But the result has to decoded by yourself because character codes arn't in the ASCII range (my machine can't display kanji character):

>>> name=df.iloc[0][1]
>>> name
'????/d'
>>> for c in name:
...     print(hex(ord(c)))
