Hello,  
I have finally decided to switch to Bear.  
At the moment I am still busy importing my notes. I noticed that non-Latin characters in tables are not centered vertically. (see the attached screenshot)  
This effect is exacerbated if you reduce the line height in the Bear settings.  
I tried to change the font but it didn’t changed.

I don’t know if it can be fixed at all, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

Thanks in advance

Hey Gardriel,

Could you tell us the Bear version and the OS system version you are using? In the meantime it would be great if you could provide a screen recording of inputting the Japanese kanjis to help us investigate the issue. Thank you!

p.s. Welcome to the Bear community! Feel free to ask the community if you have any questions on importing notes or anything else!

Hello zowiewho,  
thank you for your warm welcome.

I have tested this behaviour on all 3 platforms (Mac, iPhone and iPad).  
Kanji, Hiragana or Katakana does all show the same behaviour.  
Korean on the other Hand does seem to work as expected.
