Hi. I have to write the website's title in Coptic and I need Unicode. Right now I can see the title myself (because I have fonts installed on my computer) but others cannot see it properly. Is the problem Wordpress' or Montezuma's? Any idea? Thanks!

I don't have the default MZ header.php file anymore to look at because I edited mine, but I recall that it gets the site title programically from your wp settings with something like <php echo site-title();> or something that will look similar. You can replace that with unicode, and it should give you what you want. It's in:

Dashboard > Appearance > MZ Options > Subtemplates > header.php

Thank you! But how should I replace it with Unicode?

I don't know a lot of unicode, but here's an example:

<div  id="logo-area">
<h1 id="sitetitle"><a href="http://example.com">[unicode here]</a></h1>
</div>

Will display a double quote, an emdash, and a single quote ("—') in the large title font that links to example.com. Put in your unicode, in the same format, and it should work.

Edit: Every time I try to enter unicode it converts it. I'll space it out here and see it if displays, just remove the spaces.

"—' in unicode =

& # 34 ; & # 8212 ; & # 39 ;

Where is this code?

It's in header.php, which is in:

I got this:

<div id="logo-area" class="col5">
<<?php bfa_if_front_else( 'h1', 'h3' ); ?> id="sitetitle">
<a href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>
</<?php bfa_if_front_else( 'h1', 'h3' ); ?>>
<p id="tagline"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></p>
</div>

The Unicode word is:

2C9A 2C93 2C95 2C97 2C8F 2C99 2C81

You'd remove

<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?>

and put your unicode for your site title there. If you wanted to use unicode for your tagline, you'd remove

<?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?>

and put substitute it with your unicoded tagline.

The rest of the code you can edit or not, as you choose.

Ok perfect. The unicode title would be like #2C9A; for every letter?

This question is bigger than this theme, but I'll answer it anyway. To use unicode hex values (which it looks like you have) in html, prefix them with &#x and end them with ; for example:

& # x 2c9a ;

only remove the spaces.

PHP Code:

Ⲛ 


Ⲛ

&#x2c9a;

It looks like your on your way.

It looks you found out how to make unicode display unparsed on this forum, too. I was just using the code tags, not html or php, and it was parsing the unicode rather than showing it. Thanks.

I can see the Unicode title on Chrome/Mac but not on Chrome/Windows. Any clue?

I always use the decimal versions of unicode, instead of the hex. I've heard their more browser friendly. You should be able to find many conversion charts online. To use decimal unicode, remove the x from the prefix.

P.S. I just noticed that all your letters are the same. You probably don't want that.

I'll try and let you know. Thank you.

If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to go to a unicode forum. I've already gone beyond the scope of this one.
