Offcanvas trigger text -> unicode code instead of character

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,

I have a problem with Offcanvas trigger text.
If I use my language characters, I have unicodes (eg. u0104) displayed instead of characters.

I have no problem with my language characters in any other place so far.

Hi Paul,

I've been trying to add some words that contanins polish language charakters.

In example above I have insert word "więcej" (polish for "more") in offcanvas trigger text field.
Instead of this I've got "wiu0119cej" where unicode u0119 was inserted in place of letter ę.

This is also happening for other polish letters. I didn't check it with other "non-standard" unicode characters.

Regards,
Mat

Does it support polish?

Cheers

I'm usung google open sans. This font support polish. I've tried other font families with same result. There is also second place where this is happening. It is hidden panel which has also trigger text defined in template settings.
In all other parts of website I don't have this issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Mat,

I have an old test site here

Is this what you are wanting to have?

1.
I've done some digging, and I found out that offcanvas trigger text is displayed properly if I put "\\u0119" instead of leter "ę" in template off canvas settings -> and this is working for all other polish characters.

2.
As far as I found out template settings are stored in buildr/settings/config/ in files config-XX.json
If I put simply text "Więcej" in template offcanvas trigger text field, it is stored in config file as "Wi\u0119cej"
If I edit config file and replace this by hand to "Więcej" it is also displayed correctly on website.

To summarize: I think that all language specific character would be displayed properly if they were stored as unicodes with two \ (e.g. \\u0119) and not with single \ like it is now.

Hi Mat,

I didn't actually change anything other than paste the text in

I can only assume it is a font problem or something we've not come across before

Can you add screenshots of the font settings you have set to display on the site

Cheers
Paul
