Running into a semi-bug to with Template Encoding for the Japanese Shift_JIS character set
Since a majority of our office are japanese speaking and writing, I changed my style set for the forum for the document encoding to SHIFT_JIS, so that way the forum doesn't default to western encoding and they see "gibberish"
A problem has occured with two widely used characters that are not parsing correctly
Please see this test post in the test forum. I've tried to post examples of how the forum is being messed up:
(please change your View > Page Encoding to Japanese Shift_JIS to see what I mean)
Basically, just to see if it was doing it here, I posted a new thread and changed my browser to View > Page Encoding > Shift_JIS and started the thread.
I tested it with the word Boy Scouts since that contained one of the characters that was not parsing correctly. As you can see, the first character is showing up as a dot followed by #123.
But below where I posted that same word in the default View> Page Encoding > Western European it posts correctly, but when you go to edit or view source, you will see that it was posted with the ASCII/UNICODE equivalent of those characters.
The 2 characters causing this weird problem are:
katakana for "bo"
and
Kanji for "hon"
both appear at a dot followed by #123
I have attached an image to this post of the two japanese characters that are causing this problem (there could be more, but we haven't encountered them) and the test word I used along with the unicode equivalent.
Anyone want to "share" some light on this? Its not a "major" problem but one of our workers happens to have the Kanji Hon in his name, so its kinda weird to see his name get cut off by ascii.
I also should mention that this is happening in 2.2.4. I have no hacks installed on any of the templates that has to do with posting or editing a post, or replying to posts etc. I dont know if this was happening in any prior version, but Im assuming that it wasn't since I never got a complaint about it (considering that one of the characters is part of one of our workers names).
