テスティン グ (testing)
#244485 - 01/25/11 02:15 AM


Just verifying if the forum supports Unicode titles.

I also found something curious. If i want to link an URL under Japanese (probably Unicode) hyperlinks, i must place a space after the opening URL UBBT tag to show properly.


Code:

[url=http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME] メイム[/url]


Result (without the space):
メイム

Result (with a space):
メイム

Same happens with HTML tags.

Result (without the space):
メイム

Result (with a space):
メイム

Just in case anyone found a similar problem.

Talking about language issues, there's something it has been bothering me about English lately. I used to always write pronoun "I" as a capital letter doesn't matter its position in the sentence, however i stopped doing it (hence the example) after noticing not everyone does. What's the right rule?

The pronoun 'I' should always be capitalized in English. People are just lazy these days. The instant messaging generation, etc...

Thank you, that clarifies a lot.

And for some reason I can't remove the space between ン and グ, a space I didn't put there in the first place.

Oh well, it's not like we write frequently in foreign languages here anyway.

The subject line inserts a space after so many characters, so that people can't abuse the table width.

There's no valid reason why non-english characters should ever be used in a subject-line to begin with, however. So this is pretty much a non-issue.
