Chinese font rendering in iOS

The results when rendering Chinese text in UITableViewCell look pretty bad: Table View

I think this is because of the fallback font rendering behaviour: the locale is English, but I'm rendering Simplified Chinese text.

I think this behaviour is because the system Helvetica only has glyphs for certain of the characters in the text.

Is there any way I can set the fallback Chinese font so that it renders English text in Helvetica, but Chinese text in a given font that has all of the Simplified glyphs?

It’s because of the wrong language precedence. If you set your preferred language order as English, 简体中文, the issue would not be exist.

For example, “允” is a shared character between Chinese and Japanese. If the system doesn’t know the correct language order, it might choose the wrong font for that character, in this case, a Japanese font.
