Firefox has a hidden tab with Chinese characters.

The Firefox block on the taskbar line had Chinese characters displaying the current location. I closed all of my tabs and then clicked to quit Firefox. I then got a dialog box stating that I had multiple tabs open with Save, Quite, Cancel as options. The Chinese site was some how operating on a hidden tab. I had visited only sites such as BBC, Google Search, some trusted weather sites and downloaded some PDF from sites the McAfee had flagged as Safe. Any ideas?

If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
The "RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin" extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
You can disable/remove the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

  • LoadUserProfile() creates a profile with Chinese characters on a remote system

    Hi,
    I'm working on an application where LoadUserProfile() is being used to remotely load a user profile on a machine. The token being passed to LoadUserProfile() is obtained from LogonUser(). 
    When doing this only with a Domain Admin user which is added in Active Directory, it creates a profile with Chinese characters in the C:\Users\ folder of the remote machine. Note that this happens only when logging in for the first time with
    this Domain Admin account remotely on that machine.
         // code:
          PROFILEINFO pi;
          memset((void *) &pi, 0, sizeof(PROFILEINFO));
          pi.dwSize = sizeof(PROFILEINFO);
          pi.dwFlags = PI_NOUI;
          pi.lpUserName = (TCHAR *)strUser;   //strUser is the User name, and it shows correctly here when debugging
          if (LoadUserProfile(hToken, &pi))
    //It is actually successful, and comes here when debugging.
    Although the name shows up correctly when debugging (remotely), why is it creating a profile with Chinese characters on the remote machine? 
    TIA,
    Jy

    CreateProfile won't load the profile.  You need to use LoadUserProfile to load the profile, and you need to query for a roaming profile path to put in the lpProfileInfo parameter if you want to include that as well.  You need a token for a
    user to call LoadUserProfile, but not a profile handle.  LoadUserProfile will populate that for you before it returns if it was successful.  See this excerpt from
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762281%28v=vs.85%29.aspx:
    Upon successful return, the hProfile member
    of PROFILEINFO is
    a registry key handle opened to the root of the user's hive. It has been opened with full access (KEY_ALL_ACCESS). If a service that is impersonating a user needs to read or write to the user's registry file, use this handle instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
    Do not close thehProfile handle.
    Instead, pass it to the UnloadUserProfile function.
    This function closes the handle. You should ensure that all handles to keys in the user's registry hive are closed. If you do not close all open registry handles, the user's profile fails to unload. For more information, see Registry
    Key Security and Access Rights and Registry
    Hives.

    Hi bharat,
    please check whether you ecc 6.0 is uni coded or not (as you upgraded).
    If it is not uni coded then you will not be able to print the Chinese characters.
    You can see whether it is uni coded or not by the following
    in your app toolbar under system click on status.
    There you can see whether your ecc6.0 is uni coded or not.

  • Problems with Chinese characters

    I have a client experiencing 3 distinct problems with their Chinese-localized Fm files:
    The SimSun TTF font used in the source Fm files is "uninstalling" itself. This requires reinstallation of the font on a regular basis (every few days).
    The colons used in index markers in the Fm source files are not being parsed as Level1IX, Level2IX, etc. in the RoboHelp project. Instead, they are recognized as colons. In other words, the first level marker in Rh is XXXXXXXX:XXXXXXX:XXXXXXX. The same is true for the semicolons.
    The conversion settings for the Chinese project do not allow for mapping to individual CSS elements and classes. This means that all of the formatting is controlled via the supplemental CSS generated from the FrameMaker formatting. IOW, the formatting all uses the class="FM_ definitions.
    Has anyone had success working with Chinese characters in a FrameMaker to RoboHelp workflow (either linking or importing)?
    Anyone else seen any of these issues in Chinese or any other fonts?
    I'm thinking the first two issues are likely due to the TrueType font used, but can't find an Adobe OTF SimSans font to use as a replacement.
    However, the lack of mapping capability in the conversion process is a stumper...perhaps due to the double-byte font itself.
    Any thoughts or solutions are greatly appreciated by my client (whose deadline passed yesterday!)

    I dont think you can print chinese chars at the console on window
    to print the character codes to the console use someting like that
    char [] chars = request.getParameter("whatever").toCharArray()
    for(each chars){
    System.out.println((int)chars);
    then check if you got the corresponding chinese char

  • How to use a select statement with chinese characters?

    I am currently developing a java servlet<using tomcat 4.x> which allows me to use select statement to retrieve results from the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database. I am using a simple form to get the parameter for querying. The main problem i'm facing is that there are chinese information in the SQL database, but i can't retrieve it through the sql statement with the chinese characters input<thru the form with the help of NJ STAR>in the WHERE condition. When i execute the statement, it returns me no results even though the rows are present in the database.
    Does anyone have the solution to using chinese words in the WHERE clause of the select statement to retrieve results with columns which contains chinese characters? Please help me. Thanks everyone. :)
    PS: when i cut and paste those characters in the sql database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excel 2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..
    please heelppp~~

    Greetings,
    PS: when i cut and paste those characters in thesql
    database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in
    questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excelThis is why the SELECT is not returning any results.
    You need to set the character encoding set on your
    statement and parameters for the characters to be
    properly translated. Refer to the charsetName
    parameter in the String class constructor in your API
    docs and also to
    $JDK_DOCS/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html in your JDK
    documentation.
    2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..Because Office programs are performing the same kind
    of character translation with the appropriate MS APIs.
    please heelppp~~Regards,
    Tony "Vee Schade" Cookis it possible for you to show me some coding examples? i don't really understand what is to be done in order to set the char set and what does it really do.. tried reading up but still dun understand.. :(
    pardon my shallow knowledge of java..
    ok..
    The thing is when i used an insert statement with chinese characters of GBK format hardcoded into the java servlet and then i use the insert statement to insert the chars into the database, it cannot be seen as a chinese word when i off the NJStar. and then it can be searched out with my current form of servlet.. below is my coding of the servlet..

  • Working with Chinese characters: How to paste and modify them as sentences; not as individual images?

    Working with Chinese characters: How to paste and modify them as sentences; not as individual images?
    From 2004, this is so far the most detailed answer I could find: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Adobe-Illustrator-1027/FONTS-display-problem-Adobe.htm, but is this really still the most up-to date solution?
    Is it possible at all to work with Chinese characters, if I don't have the Chinese version of Illustrator? (http://www.proz.com/forum/dtp_desktop_publishing/221125-chinese_in_indesign.html)

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm using Version 17.1.0 (64-bit) - basically CS6.
    Operating system is Windows 8.1. Installed is the simplied Chinese language package.
    I have received the text in a Word document. It contains mixed characters, something like this:
    教授资料
    学术背景:
      博士;曾于波恩大学(Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn)、台湾师范大学、
    I have tried to paste it in the two following ways:
    1) to create a text box and paste the text. The result is that some of the characters are not showed correctly.
    2) Paste it directly without any preparation. This result into a single "image" or group of images. I can cancel modify each character one at a time, or I can dissolve the group, but the result is the same.

  • Emails arriving with Chinese characters

    Hello,
    I have a couple outside contacts that send emails to my users regarding travel. Flight itineraries and the like. Those emails usually have a PDF attached. Not sure if that is relavent or not. The emails display in my users Outlook client (2010) with Chinese
    characters and some other odd characters (like a smiley face and hearts).
    The research I've done points at the senders email server having the root issue. Perhaps they just had a patch applied and it changed the locale or they may be using a Lotus Notes server.
    Lately, we've been getting more in from another outside source with the same problem, so I'm wondering if it isn't actually on my Exchange server (2007). Does anyone have an idea of what I could check to verify that this is or is not on my end of the pipe?
    TIA

    Hi,
    According to your description, I recommend you use pipeline tracing to troubleshoot the issue.
    Please refer to the following article to understand pipeline tracing:
    Using Pipeline Tracing to Diagnose Transport Agent Problems
    Pipeline tracing is a diagnostic feature in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that enables you to capture diagnostic information about e-mail messages as they encounter transport agents registered on Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) events in the transport
    pipeline. Exchange captures verbose information about the changes that each transport agent applies to messages in the transport pipeline in message snapshot files. If transport rules are configured, Exchange Server also records any actions that each transport
    rule takes on these messages.
    How to Enable Pipeline Tracing
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • Reply email with chinese characters become

    My colleagues sent an email with Chinese characters while I'm outside the office, so I replied it using my iPhone 4S with Chinese characters too.
    However, my colleagues (she is using Outlook) said the email that she received is not readable. All the Chinese characters become garbled.
    This issue also applied to iPad 2 because I again resent it using my iPad 2.
    Is there a way to overcome this issue? Otherwise, I cannot do my work when I'm away my desk.
    Pls help~

    If I create a new mail using my iPhone 4GS or iPad 2, I won't have the problem.
    This issue only applied when I reply or forward an email from my colleagues whoes emails contain Chinese characters. To avoid this issue, the only language I can use is typing English but some of my colleagues only understand Chinese.
    I believe this problem is an encolding issue too because this case also apply on the Mail in my MacBook Pro. But I can change my encoding to "Traditional Chinese - Big 5" on Mail in my MBP but iPhone & iPad don't have this function.
    The problem still there even I switched the OS language b/w English and Chinese.

    Have you tried doing it through a GUI? :-)
    Fire up the Gnome File Manager under start (the coffee cup),Places and then find the file and trash or delete it.
    Something a bit more onerous would be to copy all of the files except for the offending file someplace else and then go up to the parent directory and just do an rm -r sub-directory.

    Hi ,

However, when I export the report in html format and opened it in browser, it is displaying the chinese characters properly. Browser was set to Unicode(UTF-8) character set.
    I tried changing to different fonts in Discoverer Desktop, but couldn't get the chinese character issue resolved in Desktop.

  • Opening PDF with chinese characters. Some characters change

    I need to open a 4 page PDF that was originally created in word in Simplified Chinese.  But when I open the PDF in Illustrator with Simplified Chinese open, some of the characters change.  My client in the past has had success outlining the chinese before she sends.  But it is no longer working for some reason.  How can I match what I see on the PDF without having to convert it to a rastered image.?

    Might not be working this time because the font is different. Calibri for example in english is one that does tno go over becasue of some unicode issue and you get boxes instead.
    In any case you can in Acrobat  >> file >> save as > more options >> encapsulated Postscipt. Open the .eps in illustaror and your font should be outlined, and correct.
