Indexhibit Support

I'm sorry that I have question again

all the chinese character i typed in becomes "????"

are there anyways to solve that

thanks once again

I might need to have Chinese characters (description) in my website one day soon. Hope someone can shed some light on this topic.

Probably it has to do with the font, in your style.css. Most computer won't have chinese typeface, right...so that could be the problem. It will then display them as 'symbols'.

the problem is most likely in your database collation.
change it to utf-8 or some other format that supports chinese.
you do that on your server through phpmyadmin.

would you mind telling me more about where to find the phpmyadmin.

sorry i'm an idiot in CSS and code

thanks a lot

ok, I've finally find it and change it but still it doesn't work .

should i change to uft8-general or uft8-unicode (but indeed both doesn't work for me )

I end up find out that my web host doesn't support chinese character either.
is there anything the indexhibit could do ?!

Never heard of a host that did not support Chinese characters...that couldn't have possibly told you that.

Same problem here.

Indexhibit v0.70e
MySQL 5.0.22
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

Tried MySQL connection collation into UTF-8 Bin, General and unicode, the Chinese character still becomes question masks after update.

Also have tried to add "header" before "$PARSE", didn't help neither.

Any ideas are appreciated.

I just successfully changed every collation I could find to utf8_general_ci, and it finally worked! Only changing 'connection collation' to utf8_general_ci is not enough, you have to go into each item, and change collation in 'structure' and 'operation'.
Takes a while to get through everything, but it DOES work!
