UITableView and Japanese index titles

[Lee Probert]

Hi folks. I wonder if anyone can help me here?

I have a table view rendering japanese names alphabetically. The section headers and index titles are generated automatically via the fetch controller and it seems to work in principle. The problem seems to be the character set that is being used to render the index ribbon.

Here's a grab : http://www.evernote.com/shard/s4/sh/f9ea3189-4160-4579-9a11-c90d6cdc93f6/e1b2d7dedadd6a202a8ce64e11613eea

Any ideas?

Strange. Just worked for me.

I need the japanese characters that are being rendered in the section headers to render in the index ribbon down the side. It seems to be mapping the unicode incorrectly or something. I can't find anything on the web about this issue.

Thanks, Lee.

Yea, this quote suggests a bug ...

I am not sure whether this is a bug in the method sectionIndexTitleForSectionName: of NSFetchedResultsController or my own fault somewhere else, however my workaround consists in overriding it and performing what the documentation says it does internally:
- (NSString *)sectionIndexTitleForSectionName:(NSString *)sectionName
{
    NSString    *outName;
    if ( [sectionName length] )
        outName = [[sectionName substringToIndex:1] uppercaseString];
    else
        outName = [super sectionIndexTitleForSectionName:sectionName];
    return outName;
}
This produces the expected output.

I will explore further.
