I have Fitbit Surge and the option for notification works pretty poor as the messages in Cyryllic are not shown as they should be, they are show in squares.
Moderator edit: updated subject for clarity and labels.
It seems that Ionic can display emoticons which might mean that it supports unicode which in turn might mean that support for international characters is almost there.
I’m totally disappointed. Are there any developers at all at Fitbit?? Support Cyrillic, support all other types of alphabets?!? Hello? Earth is calling Fitbit!?! Where do you fall from? Latin covers a portion of this world’s customers, and you want all potential customers! It’s not enough to want, you’ve got to give! I didn’t even imagine this thing could be so stupid and not support other alphabets, so I made the mistake to buy it. Shame on you!
Fitbit has a development center in Belarus and products they create and do not support Cyrillic. Doesn't Fitbit employee use there own products??? Or they do not use their own language? 😉
Fitbit won’t add Cyrillic. It seems they got some kind of radical national in charge of that department who is discriminated against other languages. They easy can do this, just like they did with emoji and others. It’s just Software not hardware but again they not interested to support other nations
I am planning the upgrade from Fitbit Blaze. Have to decide between Fitbit Ionic and Apple Watch. Ionic looks better with longer battery life and dear iphone app. But lack of Cyrillic support looks like a showstopper 😞
This workaround has actually been there for quite a while now, but it is nice of you to point out.
Unfortunately, it is no where near useful for most languages I have noticed requests for in this thread, like Hebrew, Persian, and other such UTF-8 related font users.
Maybe it is half-useful for Russian speakers? I'm nit sure.
Either way, I've been lurking at this thread for over a year now... It truly seems like FitBit as a company just doesn't give a crap about us UTF-8 users.
Note even a Ginuwine Pig crap, which I have been told is tiny.
But it's nice to see a user caring enough to inform other users and even uploading a screen shot (:
