Hi Matt,

Thanks for letting me try your site. Had some interesting results. I use Apple's built-in Simplified Chinese input method ITABC, which is what I normally use. The glyphs I've been entering take two bytes in UTF-8, e.g. 胖 (U+80D6). For the most part it seems to work fine for entering Chinese glyphs into various apps that expect Unicode encoding of some sort. I've used it to enter Chinese text at LiveJournal and Google, for example. The glyphs entered at LiveJournal show up as UTF-8 chars in the HTML when I view the source in Safari.

When I use the input method to enter Chinese glyphs at your Roller site (or JRoller) the glyphs look fine as they're entered. They still look fine after I press Post to Weblog and show up correctly in the Recent Entries column on the right. The source of the page in Safari is XHTML 1.0 Transitional with charset="utf-8" and the glyphs show up fine, i.e. they're glyphs, not escape sequences.

Now if I click on the Entries link the new entry shows up with the glyphs replaced by '?' chars.

I haven't tried this in any other browsers or on any other OS's - perhaps it's a Safari issue?

You could try a less customized version of Roller on my site.
