Notes on iCloud.com cannot show Chinese in right content viewer since May 16, 2016

Hi,


Since today, I logon www.icloud.com to read my notes via web browsers, Chinese cannot be displayed correctly on the most right panel (note content viewer, if you are in the three columns layout). Chinese characters are displayed as circles. English letters are okay. I tested the problem on another windows 7 desktop, same issue.


I recalled everything worked fine last night.


Could anyone help on this?


Thanks.

This morning, I opened Chrome and login iCloud.com to check my Notes: 😊All Chinese characters are shown correctly. I don't know what happened. However, I wanted to make sure if the problem is resolved, so I opened IE 11 (in windows 7), deleted all cache and cookie, histories... logged into icloud.com; 😢😢 the problem is still there, all Chinese characters are still displayed as circles.


I start to think that the iPhone Notes is not an ideal tool that I can rely on. Last year, it suddenly stopped sync to MS outlook; I had to open an icloud account and then migrated my notes into icloud.com one by one.


Does anyone know if there are any app can replace Notes which allows me to write notes in iPhone and from Windows?

Chinese characters in Unicode cannot be displayed when I tried a new iCloud account.


I logged in iCloud using another icloud account. No notes was there. I created a new note item, started to type Chinese via Firefox browser. The right side panel only shows circles instead of Chinese fonts that I typed, but in the center panel (2nd column), Chinese fonts can be shown correctly.

By following your instruction, I can get the same positive result. Simplified Chinese can be rendered correctly in Chinese Traditional settings. Thank you very much.


My default setting was English. It could show Chinese characters since the very beginning. I believe icloud.com must change something which caused the issue. Hopefully one day, they can fix it.


Thanks, again.
