Can't get Thai characters to show up in iPad build

I'm trying to localize my clients app to Thai but all the characters always shows up as question-marks inside boxes on my iPad (It shows correctly in the unity editor on Win and Mac).

I have tried using a custom font (set to be dynamic), and the built in arial font. Iv'e tried storing the text in a .txt file in the Assets folder (saved with utf-16 encoding) and storing text straight in a TextMesh component.
Iv'e also tried changing the language on my iPad to Thai, then restarting the app, but with the same results.

Is there a setting or some kind of gotcha with dynamic fonts? Can't an iPad display characters from a different language or is there some kind of setting I need to be aware of in the xcode project?

This looks like a bug to me but maybe I just missed something?

 

Hi, its probably not a bug.
Foreign characters can be tricky sometimes.

You don't need to save as utf-16 encoding. save as UTF8.

You can see Thai characters on your editor because you probably have the Thai font on your computer.
Try to include a Thai font on your Unity project, export it and see how it go.

 

Hey recon,

I am having the same problem with Thai characters. Did you find a solution by any chance?

Cheers,
