Your encoding is incorrect. The problem could be at one of many levels. Perhaps you indexed with the wrong encoding. Maybe you indexed the correct encoding, but your terminal/browser has a different encoding and therefore cannot display the characters. I do not know much about encoding except that it is really hard. 🙂 Cheers, Ivan On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 2:25 AM, [wangchunguo@umeng.com](mailto:wangchunguo@umeng.com) wrote: > when i index chinese text with es, the chinese like this : > > "\_type" : "demo1", > "\_id" : "ZESzmu\_UTBiMvWXoSSCWpA", > "\_score" : 1.0, "\_source" : > {"body":"","timestamp":"1387102899192","file":"/Users/chunguowang/workspace/test/dx.log"} > }, { > "\_index" : "demo1-2013-12-15", > "\_type" : "demo1", > "\_id" : "d8IVHQoDSKisKLe3p2JfQQ", > "\_score" : 1.0, "\_source" : {"body":"涓���ㄤ负 K-12 瀛���℃��渚�缁�涓���� > API锛���ㄤ��璁板��瀛����淇℃��锛������舵�逛究�����插����ㄧ��寮�������浠���峰����版�������������扮�����宸叉�� > 1 涓�澶����瀛���′����跺��浣������������插����������峰��浜�绾㈡��璧���� 1000 > 涓�缇����������璧����绾㈡��璧����������浼�浜� Bryan > Schreier锛�涓������剧�兼����茬�����棰����锛����璧�浜� Inkling ��� > MindSnacks锛�锛�灏������� Clever > �����ｄ��浼����","timestamp":"1387102898717","file":"/Users/chunguowang/workspace/test/dx.log"} > }, { > "\_index" : "demo1-2013-12-15", > "\_type" : "demo1", > "\_id" : "EuxRL9ZoSqGA02yABJxOOw", > "\_score" : 1.0, "\_source" : > {"body":"","timestamp":"1387102899289","file":"/Users/chunguowang/workspace/test/dx.log"} > }, { > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/9c50da55-52b0-40c3-8c83-233a1ef9cb3b%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/9c50da55-52b0-40c3-8c83-233a1ef9cb3b%40googlegroups.com) > . > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
