Their name seems both to be unprintable (2 byte chars in name) and to cause problems with the formatting of the tables.

It looks they are a Chinese site. Those characters are what Stanford stores as their team name:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?teamnum=48118&qtype=teampage

The team registration page is ISO-8859-1 encoded:

http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/createteam.pl

And the summary files are also ISO-8859-1. To accept any Unicode character in names Stanford should set the registration page and the database to UTF-8. Other than that it will be impossible to have non western characters in names.

Every criticism or suggestion from the user is a gift. Even if i disagree or don't answer. Obviously if there is real intellectual work on producing it the better.
