I am building the HTML5 Hybrid mobile app with the help of Telerik AppBuild platform and in one of the view (components/loginview/view.html) I am trying to show language selection dropdown as follows:

<select data-bind="value: addFormData.languagelist" data-role="dropdownlist">
    <option value="en">English</option>
    <option value="ja">日本語</option>
</select>

But for my surprise whenever I run the simulator I get the question marks instead of 日本語 characters.

enter image description here

I checked the main index.html file and found that there is proper meta tag like <meta charset="utf-8" /> present needed to set the charset. I am very much new to this dev platform. So appreciate your help.

Try using a different font in your CSS (reference). Whichever font you are using doesn't have support for those characters and just leaves the question marks as placeholders.

  • thanks for your reply. I am not using any extra CSS to decorate my page. Its just a HTML with Japanese chars. The strange thing is it works correctly if I put corresponding hex code as `日本語` instead of those Japanese chars. – vijayP Feb 27 '17 at 07:20
