Tablepress Character set and Table display on different browsers

  • Problem one:
    I have some Chinese characters that appear correctly outside of a Tablepress table but only as question marks when in the actual Chinese characters or just as the unicode symbols and numbers when in unicode inside a Tablepress table. Outside the table I have used the unicode version.

    Chinese: 现已在中国
    unicode: 现已在中国
    Page

    Interesting enough the Chinese characters by themselves, not unicode, appear correctly when the page is first loaded then upon a refresh convert to question marks.

    Problem Two:
    I just noticed that when I load all my pages with tables using Chrome or Safari the tables padding and margins are all off but on explorer and Mozilla they look fine. Any help appreciated. Thanks

  • Hi John,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Such characters should be added directly as Unicode characters.

    How did you get them into your table? Type them? Copy/Paste? Import?

    How do they show up on the “Edit” screen of the table?

    About that padding/margin issue:
    That seems to be related to the Unicode issue right now. I suggest that we tackle that first.

    I had first just copied them over from a unicode converter. I also tried just copying them over from notepad and I also tried typing them and all the results have been the same.

    In the edit screen they appear as the unicode characters: &# 29616;&# 24050;&# 22312;&# 20013;&# 22269;&# 65281; Without the spaces)

    I notice that the characters appear correctly on the browser if I am logged into wordpress on that browser. The characters also appear correctly on browsers where I am not logged into wordpress, but only at first. When I do a reload/refresh on those browsers the characters revert to question marks.

    Hi,

    hhm, that’s strange.
    Looks like the caching is then somehow having trouble here.

    Does changing the table Shortcode to

    [table id=123 cache_table_output=false /]

    help? That might make them work even after a refresh in the browser.
