Chinese ideogram is printed as their roman translation

Hi,

I’m teaching Python and my student encounter the following

Jupyter notebook shows the roman version of the chinese ideogram. Can you help me to find out (1) why this is happening and (2) how to disable this feature?

My student has a fresh Anaconda installation on Windows and was using Chrome as the web browser.

Thanks for the help.

Hi @rgaiacs,

this is an intriguing result. I was not able to reproduce it on JupyterLab 3.2.4 with IPython 7.27.0 on Python 3.9 (on Ubuntu):

Are you able to reproduce this on your installation as well? What exact versions were used by your student?

Hi @krassowski,

Thanks for your reply.

Are you able to reproduce this on your installation as well?

No. I was running Python 3.7.4 with Jupyter 4.5.0 and IPython 7.8.0.

What exact versions were used by your student?

My student is using Python 3.9.7 with Jupyter 4.8.1 and IPython 7.29.0.

The interesting fact is that when I looked at the Jupyter notebook that we were working yesterday, the problem is not there anymore and I can’t reproduce it.
