as we know, in Stata 14 , even the variable names can be Chinese characters ,but Ipystata cannot display those names properly. Hope you will fix this minior problem in the future.

ipystata is a really GREAT thing!

Hi @lianyonghui123, I looked into your problem and unfortunately it is not something that I can easily fix. The problem stems from the limited available encoding options by the Pandas read_stata and to_stata operations. I have reported this to the corresponding issue thread:

With Pandas >= 0.23 I believe they added unicode support to read_stata

Unicode still isn't supported by the writer though
