leaderboard with utf-8 character

Question

Hi, first of all thanks for the excellent support. I would like to know how to include non English characters in our leaderboard. Currently the leaderboard can't seem to be able to store CJK characters as username in the leader board. Thanks.

Hi Admin,

It's our pleasure for choosing you App42 platform.Currently we are supporting utf-8 characters in pushNoification Service only. This feature in all services in our pipeline. When its implemented, we will updated this thread.

You can save your non english data in base64 encoded string and then decode back after fetching it.

In all our SDK, we have Base64 class and it has method to encode and decode string. Let me know on which SDK you are, I will give you the exact snippet to do this.

This is just a workaround to save non english data, however it will be supported directly in our SDK soon.
