French special characters not displayed properly in discoverer 11g

Gurus
We are upgrading to discoverer 11.1.1.3
I have found that French special characters (letters with accents) are not displayed properly in the discoverer tool menu.
Example
Sélectionner is displayed as S?lectionner.
This doesn't seem to be a server issue as one of the tester (in U.S) is able to see the french characters displayed and ironically it is not the case in France itself where this is required.
Please help
Regards
Ariv

Pl post details of the two clients being used in this scenario - the exact OS version, browser version, browser language settings, Java version etc
Since the accented character shows on one client , the issue is with the client or the settings on the client where the accented character is not showing correctly.

Unicode Characters not displaying properly after updating to 13.0.1+

Previously, I had installed the Symbola font because certain symbols were not displaying properly in Firefox (notably on Twitter). Installing the font solved the problem for the most part (the four bit hex characters still didn't show up, but the six bit ones did).
After updating to 13.0.1 the other day, the six bit hex codes do not show the correct symbol anymore with Symbola still installed. I even deleted Symbola from my fonts, redownloaded it (a newer version, no less), installed it, and opened Firefox, and it did not solve the issue. Like the 50 million other things that Firefox broke with the update to 13. -_-
EDIT: This issue has since persisted with 14.0.1.

Try to install the DejaVu font.

Special French characters not displaying properly

Hi:
I am using Weblogic 9.2, struts 1.2, JDOM,and ejb.
I read special characters from the properties files using struts but when I assigned it to xml tags(JDOM elements) it is not showing properly in the xml tags.
          Element header = new Element("header");
          while(elementListItor.hasNext())
               Element child = (Element)elementListItor.next();
               String name = child.getName();
               header.addContent(new Element(name).setText("Montant pay?", name)));

German Special Characters not displayed correctly in RTF using code

Hi ,
In my code we are using webdynpro method
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
byte[] data, String resourceName,WDWebResourceType
Type)
Here in our code we are implementing this as
ITemplateElement templateEl = wdContext.currentTemplateElement();
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
templateEl.getReportData(),
reportName.substring(0, reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
WDWebResourceType.RTF); reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
Here templateEl.getReportData() returns a set of bytes which has some
german special characters.
We are generating the Bytes using String.getByes(),Just before
String text = new String(in);
collector.putBusinessObject(boName, bo);
reportDocTemplateParser(collector, text);
collector.removeBusinessObject(boName);
String generatedText = collector.generateRTF();
out = (null != generatedText) ? generatedText.getBytes() : null;
The out put is the if i am giving a word with german special characters for eg:
Betriebsübersichten it first gets converted to bytes and then passes through method WDResouseFactory.createResourse(.....) which creates an RTF file and finally in the RTF file it appears as Betriebsbbersichten the special character is not displayed correctly.
i came to knw that while converting into bytes we have to make it RTF supported encoding.ie for eg generatedText.getBytes('cp1252').i even tried with other charactersets like ISO-8859,cp1253 and so on but none of them worked.
It would be really great if you could suggest the needful.
Thanks and Regards

I soved this by using get_data function of response object. Then converting this into ISO-8859-1 charset.
See code below.
DATA : lv_encoding   TYPE abap_encoding,
          lv_conv       TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
          lv_x_string   type xstring.
lv_x_string = pv_http_client->response->get_data( ).
    lv_encoding = '1100'.
    lv_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(
                          encoding = lv_encoding
                             input = lv_x_string ).
    lv_conv->read( IMPORTING data = pv_result ).

Characters not displaying properly

I can't find how to properly enter and display certain chars from my db to my jsp page.
For instace, the word "Li'l" is displaying as "Li�??�?��??l".
things like TM,R arent working either.
the "'"(apostrophe) is entering into the DB without a problem- but it wont display. The (TM) is not storing or display properly.
Is there anyway to copy text directly from wordpad into a textbox and have it store in mysql and display in jsp correctly?
Also, this might be a question for the mysql section:
If i'm doing a query like thisSELECT ID, brandName, productInformation, productName, productImage FROM blahblah.uk WHERE brandName = '" + brand + "'"; and " brand + has an apostrophe- the query screws up. Is there a way around it at all?
here is my entire DB connection code.
<%
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
conn = "jdbc:mysql://" + host + "/" + db + "?user=" + user + "&password=" + pass;
Connection Conn = DriverManager.getConnection(conn);
Statement SQLStatement = Conn.createStatement();
String Query = "SELECT ID, brandName, productInformation, productName, productImage FROM blahblah.uk WHERE brandName = '" + brand + "'";
ResultSet SQLResult = SQLStatement.executeQuery(Query);
%>
<%
          while(SQLResult.next())
                 x_ID = SQLResult.getString("ID");
                x_brandName = SQLResult.getString("brandName");
                x_productName = SQLResult.getString("productName");
                x_productInformation = SQLResult.getString("productInformation");
                x_productImage = SQLResult.getString("productImage");
                thanks

May I assume since you're using ASP that you're on Windows? The only way I'm aware to be able to display Arabic characters on Windows would be to set your Windows language to Arabic. This will be somewhere in the Control Panel, but without knowing what version of Windows you're on, it's hard to be more specific.
In general, SQL*Plus is not a wonderful tool for viewing non-English data.

Webservice: Special characters not displayed correctly

Hi,
I'm facing a problem when retrieving informations via a webservice. I'm able to use it and data is retrieved but when there are special characters into the response they are not displayed correctly. Repsonse of the webservice is XML formatted.
It seems to be a charcter set problem, strange thing is that the response is ISO-8859-1 formatted, this charset should normally display special characters like (é à ...) correctly.
In my code I simply use an if_http_client object to use the webservice.
pv_result = pv_http_client->response->get_cdata( ).
Xml repsonse :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<![CDATA[Eetcaf�/Steakhuis Baskent]]>
Should be Eetcafé
How can I specify a charset for the response object?
I did the same in .NET, where I can bypass this issue specifying the charset like this.
Dim reader As New StreamReader(oResponse.GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.Default)
Thanks a lot for your help.

Special Characters not presenting properly

All of a sudden my (not so) Special Characters are not being rendered properly. Much of the website is in German, hence a lot of umlauts.
With yesterday's upload the umlauts now look like this:
ZurÃ¼ck, instead of Zurück,
fÃ¼r, instead of für,
SchÃ¶mberg, instead of Schömberg, etc.
Ignore the Link highlighting.
Here is a Link to a sample:

Special Characters Not Displaying at Logon Screen

Hello, my daughter set her password on her iPad using special characters and has been able log in by holding down a certain letter on the keyboard and choosing a latin character. This is no longer working as the popup menu doesn't appear when holding down on letters anymore. She recently updated it to iOS8, but claims that she was able to log in at least a few time since the update.
Is there any trick to making these special character menus appear again? Thanks so much.

Hello Paul,
I once used hexadecimal coded characters like &xnnn; and they were not transformed. When coding them in decimal, everthing worked fine.

Reports with output to excel - special characters not displayed correctly.

Hi,
I have a portal with data from 5 continents. In many places special or national characters are used in names. My portal can show most of these characters correctly and so can my version of Microsoft Office Excel. When text with these characters are copy/pasted from the screen to an excel sheet, they are also shown correctly in excel. The problem arises in portal reports, where output is set to Excel, then special characters are often displayed as strange double characters, for example á is shown as Ã¡ . Does anybody have a solution to that?
Thanks
Arne

No answers have been posted yet and now I have found a solution myself. The portal report is run and output set to Excel. The resulting file is opened, and a new row is inserted in the top of the sheet. In the first field in this row is written the characters *\xEF\xBB\xBF*. It is called a UTF-8 BOM, and when written in the start of a text file, it will tell the program that opens it, that UTF-8 encoding is used.<br><br>
The file is saved with the file type CSV (semicolon separated) (*.csv) and excel is closed. When you click on the CSV-file, it is opened by excel, and now all characters with accents, circumflexes and umlauts are shown correctly.<br><br>
The solution was found here: http://www.roosmaa.net/importing-utf-8-csvs-in-excel/

Special characters not displaying?

I tried connecting to a BBS today and noticed there were a lot of jewel-with-a-question-mark-shaped characters displayed. I'm almost certain they should be some type of character that isn't being displayed correctly:
Is there a special way to make these characters visible? I'm not certain of the font I'm using, and not entirely sure how to figure it out. I've read is some places that this might be IBM extended ASCII? If it is, how could I get/install it on my system?
I don't have a specific font set in /etc/vconsole.conf:
[mukti@blackmesa ~]$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
KEYMAP=us
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Arabic Characters not displaying properly in SQL+ Enviorment

Special characters not displaying in button label

My production environment is: Oracle Forms 6i connecting to an Oracle 8i database. Forms are Windows client/server. In a form there is a layout of buttons like a QWERTY keyboard. And in the property palette information for each data block, the item is of type "Push Button" and the default Label is set to a specific number which correlates to what that number translates into a special character (i.e. Portuguese, or Spanish characters). So example: CHR196 label = "196". So when at runtime. The following command is executing upon seeing this canvas:
Set_Item_Property('CHR196', LABEL, CHR(196));
So in Forms6i the CHR(196) comes out to be a letter in the alphabet from either Spanish or Portuguese and shows up perfectly.
But NOT in 11g. That environment I'm in is:
Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms 11g on RHEL5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5) on a 32-bit platform
connecting to
Oracle Database 11g on RHEL5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5) on a 64-bit platform
using a
Windows based browser (IE7 - Internet Explorer 7).
Could it be due to the forms being in a JVM (Java Virtual Machine)? All I see is a small "square" and this shows up on ALL the button labels. Could it be the NLS_LANGUAGE format of the database? Because when I run the query : SELECT CHR(196) FROM dual on 8i or 11g, the proper character shows up in TOAD or SQL+.
Thanks,

Chinese Characters not displaying properly

I pasted Chinese text into a Rolling title but not all of the characters display. Some (not many) of them display as an x inside of a square. All I can think is that some of the characters are not being recognized. If it matters, the text is simplified Chinese copied from a website, pasted into Notepad, then copied again and pasted into the title.
Help is greatly appreciated.

John,
I see that now, but the font I selected (simsun) seems to have resolved my issue. I believe it is a bug if I can display the characters correctly on other app, especially Microsoft. On Microsoft apps, I can select many standard fonts and the Chinese Characters display correctly.
Thank you for the link to submit a bug report. When I get time I will submit it, and hopefully they will correct the issue.
God Bless,
Mark
