Problem with posting in Chinese (1 Viewer)

Hi,

There is a problem with posting Chinese (and other Unicode characters such as Japanese and Korean) on these forums. Whenever certain characters are contained in a post, they are automatically "converted" into another character. For example, the character for /ni3/ ("you" in English) is always converted to 佪.

There are numerous other such examples (I could provide more examples if necessary). Does anyone know what's up? A fix for this perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

p.s. This applies to signatures and profile entries as well.

I know it's Chinese, but it's not the *correct* Chinese character... Hope I explained it well enough. Does anyone understand what I mean?

it's a software...browse through the first few pages of chinese if you're that curious. Anyway basically the characters come out wrong, like 'ni' comes out with the ren zi pang but with a 'hui' instead or 'er'.

yes but why is it a big fat box instead of the regular small ones?
