Administrators Alex Posted May 29, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 29, 2020 The game isn't really built for special characters. Sorry, this was a misunderstanding, I didn't realize it was related to the database upgrade. Do you have an example link? Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

---- Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Previously, when I entered characters (Polish), they appeared normally. These characters include: ą, ć, ę, ł, ó, ń, ś, ż, ź. I never had any issue with these characters appearing on my nation page or city names until right after this last update. Here is a screen shot from May 19 (city names). Note that all the special characters appeared normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That response is a good way to start a flame war. Wouldn't it be better to just ask people for a few links and you'll look into it, at some point? Even if it ends up being 3 months down the track. Just to keep things on topic, the special characters I use for my city names (eg Falkonéra) are fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Alex Posted May 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2020 This could be a result of the server upgrade we did in relation to the database. I'm chatting with ss23 about it now, but have you tried re-saving the special characters in the names? Does that resolve the issue? Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

Administrators Alex Posted May 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2020 My guess is something about the character encoding changes when we did the recent server upgrade. I'll look into this and should have it resolved within the next couple of days. Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Administrators Alex Posted May 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 30, 2020 It looks like I was able to figure out the issue, and I'm updating the character encoding in the database to allow all the special characters. Unfortunately, the old text doesn't all automatically work - you'll have to re-enter and re-save it for it to show up properly it seems. Quote Is there a bug?
