Does the current port of Rockbox in Sansa C200 support Unicode?

yes

Does it require enabling any setting in order to use Unicode?  I have a few songs with Traditional Chinese characters in their file names or tags.  But they are showing up as small boxes.

The tutorial I linked to is written by someone who had Chinese mp3 files, so I'm sure you can find something in there.

Thanks for pointing out the guide.  I did read the guide.  It did not mention that I have to enable any settings or options to use it.  Right now, all the chinese characters are showing up as a small box.  But I have a feeling that it is the theme and/or the screen resolution that limit the chinese character display.  It looks like the default theme uses a font only 6 or 7 pixels high, which is probably not good enough to display chinese characters.

You have to use a font that contains the right characters.  I would bet that your current font lacks the right characters.

I think only Unifont has some Chinese glyphs and I believe there are some fonts in the patch tracker which do as well. So any other font you use will just show small boxes.

Thanks for the advice.  You are absolutely right.  Originally I used the manual method to install Rockbox because the GUI version did not work for me.  Obviously, it did not install all the fonts.  But now since Rockbox is already on the device, I tried the GUI version again and was able to install all the fonts.  Now, it shows the chinese character correctly.  Thanks for your help.
