I'm interested to see what happens to your Chinese. I noticed that some non-ASCII entities in in a top-level comment looked okay right after I posted, but were mangled later (without my doing any further edits).
I see five question marks. (Which I thought was intended until I got to the "if you can read Chinese" part.)
It renders as Chinese characters on my computer; I think it's Unicode.
I see the Chinese characters.
Ditto
I just checked the source of my post against my saved local copy. The entities that were given by name were converted to hexadecimal and look fine (
’became“) but the entities that were in decimal were mangled into multiple hexadecimal entities (↩became↊).I didn't have any that were originally in hex, and I don't know if this difference is the reason it was mangled. It looks like all of your Chinese characters are currently hex entities (the answer in the footnote is
有).
