Non-English characters in the names are displayed as "?" in Q&A

[Jelena_Perfiljeva]

Is it possible to fix the issue with non-English letters in the names displayed as a question mark (?) in Q&A? Example:

This seems to work fine in the blogs but Q&A does not display the names correctly. This is not very nice IMHO.

For more information, see also the comments at the bottom of this discussion.

Yesterday Russian characters were visible in Activity Stream, but replaced with "?" in comment. Today I see "?" in Activity Stream also. At least consistent 🙂

Thanks for letting us know, Jelena. We look into that issue

[Jelena_Perfiljeva]

vadim.kalinin - I guess this was part of the test. 🙂 So it's not just the names affected, it's any text. I can see the text just fine in my Inbox. For those who don't speak Russian: Mirko's comment has English translation (loosely).

Now Russian characters are again replaced with "?"

Looks like some testing on the production system 🙂

Добрый вечер,

Проблема с не ASCII символами должна быть решена.

[Sandra_Rossi]

Dzmitry Sidorkin Your comment is displayed okay everywhere I can see it (question comment, activities, user profile). Remains the issue of people names.

[dzmitrysidorkin]

sandra.rossi Issue with names will be fixed when these users login to the system again.

Thanks for the confirmation.

[Jelena_Perfiljeva]

dzmitry.sidorkin - it looks fine now, thanks. Do you want to post this as an answer, so that I could close the question? Free Karma. 🙂

The issue with the names is still not solved.... Just checked the original question with Russian user name.

[Jelena_Perfiljeva]

vadim.kalinin - it was posted as a moderator comment, so I'm not sure if everyone can see it but it was explained above: "Issue with names will be fixed when these users login to the system again." Thanks!

I know about this comment, but the particular user name was not corrected. It may be due to:

1. User didn't login to the system yet.

2. The issue is not fixed

May be you can provide an example of correct name for another user...

By the way, I am unable to understand how user login is related to the issue...

It looks... *err* MAAARVELOUS! Thank you! 🙂 [Edit in: no Emojis in the comments yet though :D]

But, how on earth do we do this?!? 😮

[VeselinaPeykova]

janis.bielajs some users have additional authorizations and can comment on comments 🙂

[dzmitrysidorkin]

Sure. I leave an answer.

[Private_Member_7726]

Veselina Peykova Riiight, had forgotten it already 🙂 That's *err* so SAP...

[Jelena_Perfiljeva]

janis.bielajs - in the notifications, these are labeled as "moderator comments" (hence grey background, I guess).

vadim.kalinin - I'm also curious what does this have to do with the user login but as long as the core issue is resolved it's fine. IT works mysterious ways. 🙂

[dzmitrysidorkin · Accepted solution]

Thanks for you patients.

Issue 'non-ASCII characters displayed as question marks' should be fixed.

Issue with user names will be fixed when these users login to the system again.

Kind Regards,

Dima
