chinese character display

[xuefang]

Hi,
I have searched the forum and am posting my query here.
I started using suffusion3.9.2 and WP 3.2.1 and the chinese chars displayed OK on http://iadrsolutions.com/jollyvip-group/.
This site is experimental.

I am now using suffusion 3.9.5 and WP 3.2.1 and am unable to figure out why the chinese chars are NOT displaying on the page http://mediator4hire.com/jollyvip/

Thanks for reading.
Merry Christmas!
Xue

There isn't any bug in this regard in the theme. You might have a character encoding conflict on your DB.

Thanks Sayontan.
I've deleted the page and also created a new page and a new menu and also experimented with different templates but still no luck. I can't figure out why on www.iadrsolutions.com, the chinese chars were OK.

Happy New Year to all!

This is not a big issue re- the display of chinese chars. Just to confirm that there's an issue as I've created a new site www.iadrt.com from a migration/import from iadrsolutions.com (which has an older version) and the display was fine. Then I upgraded to the latest Suffusion and the chinese chars disappeared as '???'.

Anyhow, Suffusion is still an awesome theme.

Many thanks!

Hello,

Before I leave this topic, I discovered that in suffusion 3.9.2 in my site www.iadrsolutions.com (will disappear after end Jan) the script rounded-corners.css is different from the suffusion 3.9.5 in my (WIP) site www.mediator4hire.com. Somehow the #language-selector rounded-corners.css is not invoked for v3.9.5. This I found out via Chrome - inspect element.
Upon inspection of both the rounded-corners.css, they differ.

Just curious whether anyone has similar issue.

Thanks,
Cher

I just checked another site running 3.9.5: http://www.cevos.net/. It seems to display characters well. I am not sure why you have an issue on your site.

Many thanks Sayontan for your reply with the chinese site.
Will look into that.

Hello,
Just to let folks know that I've now resolved this issue.
I installed WordPress via cpanel using Fantastico (as this was the recommended route by my host provider) and this caused the issue with the display.
So now I know!
Thanks,
Cher

Hello again,

This issue is now closed and many thanks to Sayonton and also the nice chap at cevos.net who gave me the clues that it's not a Suffusion theme issue.
Worth mentioning that besides the 'default' (which can be anything!) setting with using Fantastico, the 'Reading Setting' within WordPress'Encoding for Pages and feeds' (which I had it set to utf8) did not help to review or change the Collation table in the mysql Db which for chinese chars is utf8_unicode_ci

BTW my site www.iadrt.com is now on suffusion 3.9.6.

Cher
