Hi, firstable... I'm new here, but I'm using mp3tag for a very long time and it's a great software.
Ok, I'm using an (edited) export script that I've found on this forum, the code is this:
```
$filename(html)
```
### %artist%: %album% (%year%)
$loop(%\_filename\_ext%)
```
| %track% | | %title%| | |%_length% |
```
$loopend()
```
| | %_total_time% |
```
generiert am %\_datetime% mit %\_app% - dem **universellen** ID3-Tag Editor [www.mp3tag.de](http://www.mp3tag.de/)
So i can just paste the whole thing on RYM when I edit an album info. The problem is that when the title of the track is in chinese or any non latin character... I get a "?".
How can I resolve this? thanks 🙂

Provided that the script is functional in order, then you can check the font, whether Unicode characters will be shown without problems, probably use another font.
Probably the directive _$filename (html)_ should be adapted to UTF-8.
For the only purpose of copying some text into a web app text edit frame, you do not need to create a html report.
Use the export directive _$filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\My Report.txt',UTF-8)_ and export the plain content from the tag-fields.

Hi,
I've changed html to utf-8 (the font too), but I still get this:
01 | ???? | 04:40
I can't get the export script to work too...
thanks.

Where do you get the question marks? While displaying the html page in the browser?
What editor do you use? Notepad++ should display Unicode characters, but I am not sure; WordPad does it.
Are you able to manually fill in language specific characters into the RYM edit field, which later on will be displayed correctly on their web page?

What html page? The local html page, created by Mp3tag report or the RYM web page?
I am curious what's going on there.
Maybe some other Mp3tag users can help, especially from your region?
Can you put some of such special characters into your next forum post?
This forum should be able to display the correct signs.
Example: 7-Zipのホームページ(日本語)

Oops, a little misunderstanding, please copy the filename of the second file from your example album (or from all files) here into your forum post.
If that works, then you can probably do it also on the RYM website.
Why does your screenshot show the Japanese Yen-Backslash but not the Korean Won-Backslash?
I have no problem to fill a tag-field with Japanese characters, report the tag-field into utf-8 text file,
copy the text from the report output file into clipboard and paste it here into the forum message ...
Test: 7-Zipのホームページ(日本語)
Remark:
While in forum edit mode all characters are seen correct, even those in the round brackets.
In forum read mode the characters in the bracket clamb are shown as not displayable.

You mean like this:

2/5 | ?? 4?| 04:59
3/5 | Healing| 02:35
4/5 | Good Night| 04:31

Hm, I think we are not on the right way.
Maybe the export script is not fit enough to display UTF-8 characters.
Did you say the HTML code is functional in order?
Have a look at this picture ...
... it will work ...
... if you put this line into the html head section ...
```

Thanks, but I can't get it to work...
Here's the code:
```
$filename(html)
%artist% - %album%: cdcover front
%artist%: %album% (%year%)
$loop(%_filename_ext%)
| %track% | | %title%| | |%_length% |
$loopend()
| | %_total_time% |
Is it the same that you've used?
```
thanks.

Read my post #2 above.
Obviously you do not write the report as UTF-8 encoded text file, and there is missing the BOM mark.
Look at this working Mp3tag report script ...
```
$filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\Test.html',UTF-8)
''
''
'
'
'
'%ARTIST%' - '%ALBUM%': cd cover front'
''
''
''
'
'
```
'
'
'
### '%ARTIST%': '%ALBUM%[' ('%YEAR%')']'
'
''
$loop(%\_filename\_ext%)
''
''
''
''
''
$loopend()
''
''
''
''
''
'
| '%TRACK%' | **'%TITLE%'** | '%\_length%' |
| | | **'%\_total\_time%'** |
'
'
'

... but it looks not so very nice, because of the confused used pipe symbols.
The CD cover could look a little bit better without the pipe symbols ...

You see, for rym you need to put those | symbols. It's because of that that I've edited (badly) that script.
It need to be put in like this:
track number|title|lenght.
