Ifcopenshell: Chinese encode in IFC

[oxaza]

hello, I'd like to ask you a question, which Chinese encoding pattern do you use in IFC generation? I tried utf-8 but it still have messy code. Thank you!

I don't think I understand the question. IFC / STEP has an encoding by which you can encode unicode into the model files and IfcOpenShell supports this encoding. But compilation mode and settings might have an influence on how unicode is handled throughout the codebase. Can you share a little bit more of what you tried that is not working?

FWIW, I have managed to output UTF-8 encoded XML with Chinese characters using IfcConvert just fine.
