I have been trying to post in Zappl and have discovered a strange behavior. My posts with plain English can be published without any problem. However, if I entered any Chinese characters in the post content, the post won't be published.

For example, if I enter the following Chinese characters:

After clicking "Post", a loading image will be showing for a couple of minutes:

However, the posts won't be published.

Expected behavior

The post should be published - no mater if Chinese characters are included or not as the underlying Steem blockchain accepts multiple language posts.

Actual behavior

The loading image is showing for a couple of minutes then disappeared. The posts won't be published without any error message given.

How to reproduce

Open https://zappl.com and use your steemit username/posting key to login.
Enter Chinese characters as title and body.
Click 'Post' button.
