Chinese Characters

March 2, 2010

Does anyone know why I cannot see the Chinese characters that members are

posting? They just come across as mumbo jumbo and unintelligible.

If it means anything, I use a fairly brand new Mac book.

This usually has to do with encoding (you must just try different ones until

it works). I usually have no problem, however I have been unable to read

Herman's characters.

have never seen Chinese posted to as anything other than nonsense.

My Mac types them fine and they show up perfectly on my site in the discussions

at nourishingdestiny.com----but never here.

Jason, Trevor,

Is there anything I can do from here? I work on a PC nowadays because my laptop

died, and am using Windows 2000 as OS. If I select Unicode as encoding I can

see Jason's characters...

I am about to send another mail with characters in it and will wait a bit now...

Herman,

I have no problem reading Jason's characters, but yours aren't coming through.

Perhaps it is the very old Windows 2000 OS you are using, is there a Unicode

UTF-8 option? perhaps try a Chinese simplified or traditional code, or even

Big5, not sure, but if you change it, mention it in the post so we can try to

calibrate. Frankly, I didn't know anyone still used that....

In Good Health,

Thomas

Thomas,

Thanks for your mail. I am writing this from another machine with XP on it. I

use that PC with Windows 2000 (Anno Domini, so it's not that old!) for

emergencies and I don't have problems sending characters in mails etc. to my

students with it. Unicode UTF-8 is what I use (right now as well) but

apparently it didn't work on this listserv.

Anyway, I can use my beloved's laptop once in a while an will try to resend the

mail with characters in it, about the Neijing dictionary, and my response to

Jason's answer to it later today.

Can you see the following characters?

All,

I just re-turned on the ability to have posts emailed to me, and I have noticed

that I can see the characters fine through email, but that they are still

garbage on the actual page.

I am curious if the people who can read the characters receive posts through

email as well?

(Herman your characters were clear through email, but on the actual

page)

That's very strange because when aowenherman wrote this initially, I got the

wacky symbols, but no characters, however when Z'ev quotes aowenherman's

post, they come through as characters.

Different email programs display things differently. I think that Z'evs put

the characters into a format that I can read on gmail.

yes, the characters below come thru on individual emails. This is the

first from you, Herman, where the characters appear. I can these days

see characters on emails from some others.

We talked about this a couple years ago - it seems that if you install the

microsoft Chinese language pack, the characters should show up (depending on

your email program / browser etc). If you use office, that should be on the

installation CD, or you might have to download it off of their site directly.
