Greek characters show as gibberish on 1/15/2016 6:26:08 AM

Yeah, I did run into the edit source code bug -- it would be nice if you can correct that as well.

All in all, the entire site seems to be Unicode unfriendly.

I do not know how easy it is for you to correct this. 

I should not be complaining all the time though. Chooseyourstory.com is an outstanting site and I thank you very much for making it freely available!

Yes. But the characters are wrong. Look at the character after the initial E, look at the ® character, look at the repeated Î­. The editor has translated all the intonated Greek characters to gibberish, e.g. "Ε?ναι" [EDIT: the intonated iota gets translated to a question mark, the entire site has Unicode problems] has been translated to "Είναι".

Still, the question is not whether the editor can translate Greek text into symbol characters; the question is whether the editor can support full and proper Unicode.

I am hoping you can look into it and possibly come up with an improvement in the code.


Greek characters not supported in rich text editor on 1/15/2016 5:56:57 AM

Very excited about the educational prospects of this great site, I took a shot at typing some text in Greek (with the intention of creating the odd adventure for my students at the University of Piraeus in Greece).

Unfortunately, the editor (even in advanced mode) converts Greek characters either to giberrish or to symbol characters, e.g.:

Είναι δυνατÏŒν να δημιουργήσει κάποιος μια περιπέτεια στα Ελληνικά.

As a result, the text does not look right.

Any ideas? Can the authors of the site add this functionality?
