Question

I’m working on a multi-language website. I have a problem with the color of the Chinese characters. My text color is #333333 but the Chinese characters appear darker than the occidental chars. My content comes from a database.

I thought to do it with Javascript / jQuery. The script detects the Unicode from the paragraph with the .fromCharCode() function. But what I read was that function expects an integer and the Unicode for Chinese chars are not integers. And that should be the reason my function is not working.

EDIT

Here’s an image from what I got:

My function to check for the Unicode:

if($('#container p').fromCharCode(4E00)){
    alert('Chinese');
}

Any help?

Answer 1

The screenshot suggests that different characters have been taken from different fonts. This often happens when the primary font does not contain all the relevant characters. So the odds are that you are trying to solve the wrong problem. Perhaps you should just consider making a font suggestion that is suitable for all the characters that will appear in the content.

The code snippet is in error in several ways. For example, 4E00 should be 0x4E00. And even that way, you would check for a single character only.

You need to post the full code, or a URL, or both, to get more constructive help.
