Hi,

I have a problem with “funny” characters showing in fields of Chinese text in 
LC projects on PCs with a Chinese version of Windows (7 & 10) installed. 
Non-Chinese, standard version of Windows don’t show this. The character 
displays as a rectangular box. LiveCode 8.3 & 8.9.

When in a script I do:

put nativeCharToNum(char 22 of line 66 of field "Contents”)

it returns “0” (a zero).

The htmlText of the field seems to show an entity:

�

On the Web, I see that char 0 is the null character. A search for � returns 
no results. 

So, I’m going to write a script to replace � with empty in the htmlText. 
Hopefully this will remove it. Our translator in China will have to test the 
script to see if it works.

Has anyone seen this before? Or know how it could have sneaked into the text? 
The original text was brought in from English Word files of 1990s vintage, and 
modified and translated since then.

It is interesting that these LC/Windows renders this character this way only on 
Chinese Windows systems, and gives it this HTML entity.
