Japanese characters in the signature?

xenosaber · Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 8:02 pm

Whenever I put japanese in my sig I get the codes instead. I did see them once but they are back to the codes now. Example:

I want to see: 僕はアニメが好きです!!!
But instead I get: &#20693;&#12399;&#12450;&#12491;&#12513;&#12364;&#22909;&#12365;&#12391;&#12377;!!!

I'm trying to show the ampersand but html is off, if I put in what I see in my sig on a page it comes out right.

Any ideas?

Where are you doing this? Your_Account module or Forums profile?
Both have HTML checks that tend to limit your characters to Roman letters only

I have tried in both, doesn't seem to make a difference.

If you are using RavenNuke 2.0.2 then there are no HTML checks in the Your_Account module to stop this. If you're using some other version, let us know what you are using

Am I not posting in the 2.02.02 Distro section????

I was just confirming what version you are using. I don't see any code that would stop this in RavenNuke at the moment. Maybe it has been changed in next version

Is there any difference in the function that displays the info from this field than others that display text/content? As I have said, it seems that everywhere else it seems to display fine. In the forums and the main site. As a matter of fact "Japanese (日本語) as a second Language" is the title of one of my Forums, and it works fine. I also have others that work fine.

I just can't help thinking that it is the way it is displayed. I have changed the database field to a text field because I wanted to increase the sig length to 1024 chars, but I don't think that would do this considering other text fields work fine.

I upgraded to phpBB 2.0.21 and that seems to have fixed the problem.
I used the "BBtoNuke 2.0.21 For Nuke Patched" installer from
