Support for Chinese Characters

Overview:

  • The proposed feature aims to enhance the system's capability to support and display Chinese characters, especially in emails and reports.

Detailed Request:

  • A user has highlighted that while they can save Chinese names without any issues in contacts, the system fails to display these Chinese characters on tax invoices. Instead of the actual characters, only question marks (????) are shown.

  • This poses a challenge, especially when issuing tax invoices to Chinese customers who use Chinese names for their businesses or shops.

Implication & Need:

  • The inability to display Chinese characters on invoices can lead to confusion, miscommunication, and potential business disruptions, especially when dealing with Chinese customers.

  • Ensuring proper support for Chinese characters is crucial for maintaining professionalism and accuracy in communications.

Technical Note:

  • While the immediate request focuses on Tax invoices, there's potential to expand this solution to other areas of the system, including PDF Forms and Quotes.

  • Implementing support for Chinese characters across these platforms will ensure a consistent and comprehensive user experience, further enhancing the system's versatility and adaptability to diverse business needs.

    Original request Submitted by Customer:

    Hi, Can i request the team to add the support Chinese characters in the email and report?

    We have several Chinese customers who used Chinese names for their business/ shop names. When we issue tax invoices to them, the Chinese characters can not be displayed on the invoice instead of ????, though the contacts save their Chinese names with no issue.
