EndNote online: Unicode Support

EndNote online is designed to display and format Unicode characters in most languages. Some known limitations currently exist with importing, searching, and sorting for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters; see below for specifics. We will continue to improve Unicode support in future releases.

  • Quick Search does not support left-hand truncation.
  • Quick Search requires an asterisk following single character searches for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters.
  • Quick Search fails to consistently find references when using one or two Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters and an asterisk if the phrase is less than three characters.
  • Quick Search fails to find Chinese, Japanese, or Korean phrases in double quotes if the complete phrase is less than three characters.
  • Online Search of Z39.50 resources fails when searching for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters.
