Your edits seem to sometimes change foreign characters into question marks. Do you know why this is happening? If so, is there any way you can prevent it from happening...? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie| | Your edits seem to sometimes change foreign characters into question marks.

It's probably because you don't have data for Japanese characters installed on your computer, hmm. -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 20:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC) | It's probably because you don't have data for Japanese characters installed on your computer, hmm. -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 20:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC) | ||
:The problem is that it happens only in certain instances, and not to all the characters in an article, it seems. Plus, even if his system didn't display the characters, it shouldn't replace them, I think... not unless he's copying and pasting text into another program which doesn't support the characters. That's how we get a lot of those damn "smart" quotes into our articles: people editing in Word, which automatically changes them... but that's why I asked if he knew why it was happening. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie| | :The problem is that it happens only in certain instances, and not to all the characters in an article, it seems.

:And that would be why my question went unanswered. Okay, let me put this in simpler terms. When you're editing in this editor, there's no reason why characters would be replaced with question marks even if your computer doesn't support the characters, because you're not editing the data. Note that the music notes in my signature aren't turning into question marks; those are special characters too, though not foreign characters. | :And that would be why my question went unanswered.

:I want to know if, when doing edits like for the Nurse Joy article, you did something that would edit the data even though you weren't editing that part. That seems the most likely to me. Did you copy the text into a program like Microsoft Word, and edit it there? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] <sup>~[[User talk:Pie| | :I want to know if, when doing edits like for the Nurse Joy article, you did something that would edit the data even though you weren't editing that part.

If you mean the Japanese characters, your computer has to have support for them. What operating system is your computer running? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 20:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC) | If you mean the Japanese characters, your computer has to have support for them.
