Quest Posted May 26, 2005 at 08:27 AM Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 at 08:27 AM It worked for me --- http://p222.ezboard.com/fuhelpcanhelpforumfrm17.showMessage?topicID=1676.topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music2starr Posted May 26, 2005 at 08:34 AM Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 at 08:34 AM No, it hasn't worked for you. Your characters are displayed as some bizarre symbols. I think it has something to do with finding a compatibility between ANSI and Unicode.

gougou Posted May 28, 2005 at 08:26 AM Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 at 08:26 AM Maybe you need to change your browser's encoding to Chinese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music2starr Posted June 1, 2005 at 10:30 AM Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 at 10:30 AM Sorry about the late reply. The thread no longer exists, but I know that I could've read the characters had I changed the character encoding setting on my browser. The thing is, if I change the character encoding setting to accomodate Chinese characters Western scripts may become unreadable. What I'm after is how to post Chinese characters on the message board so that people can read them without changing the character encoding setting. I know it can be done because I've seen it done.

music2starr Posted June 14, 2005 at 04:26 AM Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 at 04:26 AM Hi, just to make sure I've been doing the right things, can you guys go through the steps for posting Chinese characters on a message board? Start from the very beginning, no matter if it's very obvious or seems redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horas Posted June 17, 2005 at 12:40 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 at 12:40 PM My experience is: if I copy from a website (showing a Japanese Shift_JIS encoding) and then paste on a forum, then it can be read correctly at the forum in ANY encoding.

music2starr Posted June 18, 2005 at 05:16 AM Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 at 05:16 AM Thanks. But do you know how to personally input characters onto a message board? If you do, can you list the steps necessary to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted June 18, 2005 at 05:29 AM Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 at 05:29 AM music2starr, if the message board set its default language to western european, it's not possible for chinese characters to show up automatically, the user has to change his own encoding when viewing the page.

music2starr Posted June 19, 2005 at 05:05 AM Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 at 05:05 AM Is there some sort of software that can overcome this problem? Because I've seen this done before. I'll try and find an example of what I'm talking about and provide a link. (And thanks for your help, by the way.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I save my Chinese characters in Unicode UTF-8 and then paste it in a board with default Western encoding (like spcnet.tv) it would show the Chinese characters correctly even without the reader having to change the default encoding (the encoding is still Western). If one changes the default encoding (in the board) into Unicode first, before posting the Chinese characters, the reader must change the board's default (Western) encoding into Unicode to view correctly. The Chinese characters would distort in the default (Western) encoding. But the situation you've described probably was correct about a half or one year ago.
