Some special characters can't be seen on the app

Postby SeoulRain » Tue May 31, 2011 7:07 pm

Hello!

I found out today that some of the Korean special characters are garbled? on FD.

Is there any way that I can see the following characters on my app
other than copying jpg urls from the web?

Hey SeoulRain,

I'm not sure which characters you are talking about. (I looked at your link but that didn't help.)
Sometimes Apple's fonts just don't support certain characters. Sometimes other fonts because the system default may work better for some characters. If you can give me some examples I can play with it. Maybe you can paste these characters into this forum?

Here I have some examples.

㉠ ㉡ ㉢ ㉣ ㉤ ㉥ ㉦ ㉧ ㉨ ㉩ ㉪ ㉫ ㉬ ㉭

㈀ ㈁ ㈂ ㈃ ㈄ ㈅ ㈆ ㈇ ㈈ ㈉ ㈊ ㈋ ㈌ ㈍

Please check if you see both on your desktop and on the app.

I can see these on my desktop, but they don't show on my iPhone. I pasted the text into an app called FontPicker, and all fonts just show squares with a dot in them. This is a limitation of Apple's fonts... they just can't show these characters. Nothing we can do about that. Sorry.
