Pinyin Tones

Question

All,

I am currently working on an iOS app in Unity for adoptive parents who adopt internationally that teaches them the language of their future adopted child. So far everything has been going well, however I am having an issue with Pinyin tones and UTF-8 encoding.

For example some of the phrases I am trying to display in the app include the following. Please note the first item in each set is the Pinyin with tones and the second is simply a phonetic version of a particular phrase.

Wǒ shì nǐ dè mā ma.

Waw shir nee duh mah mah.
Wǒ shì nǐ dè bà ba.

Waw shir nee duh bah bah.

I can see these displayed on my system without any issue and can paste them into Unity Editor. But when the app runs in the Preview mode or device, it changes the tone marks to different ones that are not accurate and sometimes it blanks out other letters too.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I suspect it's as simple as not having the right character set (font).

You need to import the right font for what is being displayed. Not also the fonts you see in Unity won't be the same as you see in the iOs unless you import them.
