Mar 23, 2020 at 0:56 comment added Sara Can you reopen the question? I think the mistake I made are different (as in more) from the other post you referenced.
Mar 23, 2020 at 0:47 comment added Sara By the way I've solve one of the problem. I found what is wrong with the underscore problem. I think it's because the column names in my data that have underscore exceeds 10 characters and Geoserver only excepts 10. So if I change postal_code to postal_cod, it works, and if I change school_name to school_nam, the layer shows, although the characters are still square because the data are Chinese characters.
Mar 23, 2020 at 0:37 comment added Sara No, I am using all the same properties as in the cookbook, so my font is Arial.

Mar 22, 2020 at 17:30 comment added Sara I set the encoding of the data store (type Directory of spatial files) to UTF-8. Now it shows boxes instead of question marks, but still not the correct characters. Also, I've ensured to set the encoding of the shp to UTF-8 when exporting the file, re-added the data store to geoserver, and republished the layer. But still not working, as in 1. still not showing the correct chinese characters 2. if label is set to columns with underscore in its name, the entire layer doesn't show
Mar 22, 2020 at 10:23 comment added Ian Turton make sure you correctly set the character encoding when you imported the shapefile
