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))) ... 0x6fb3 0x535a 0x63a7 0x80a1 0x2f 0x64
