Non English alphabets sometimes displays ok, sometimes don’t

    Hi, I have three tables on this page and the source is the same “ONE” file I typed on the Excel worksheet. (Three tables have the exact same source, the top one lists all rows form the excel sheet, howerver, the second one lists only the rows that contains 1-2 characters, the last one lists only rows that contains three characters. But nonetheless they all came from the same file.

    They used to look all perfect (back in last September, the last time I checked on this page).

    However, now I changed the PHP version from 5.6 to 7.1, only the top table’s Japanese and Hawaiian specific character “?” won’t display correctly, but the other two tables on the same page display perfectly.
    Then, if I change the PHP version back to 5.6, the totally opposite would happen; the top table’s Japanese and Hawaiian characters display perfect, but the other two table below are messed up.

    I’m wondering how could the tables created from the same plugin using the same source behave differently to the PHP versions..?
    I have tried to change the php.uni setting but no success so far…
    Hope if you could give me some advice…
    (FYI, the characters outside the table behave exact the same as the bottom two tables)

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    That’s really strange, and I have no real idea what’s going on there. I can only assume that your server (or rather the different versions of PHP) use different character encoding settings. I can only recommend that you use UTF-8 as the encoding everywhere, as this gives the best results.
