HOW can I enter text using Japanese character sets?

The "Text, Plates, Insets" section of the LOOKOUT(6.01) Help files states:
"Click the » button to the right of the Text field to expand the field for multiple line entries. You can enter text using international character sets such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese."
Can someone please explain HOW to do this? Note, I have NO problem inputting Hirigana, Katakana, and Kanji into MS WORD; the keyboard emulates the Japanese layout and characters (Romaji is default) and the IME works fine converting Romaji, and I can also select charcters directly from the IME Pad. I have tried several different fonts with success and am currently using MS UI Gothic.ttf as default. Again, everything is normal and working in a predictable manner within Word.
I cannot get these texts into Lookout. I can't cut/paste from HTML pages or from text editors, even though both display properly. Within Lookout with JP selected as language/keyboard, when trying to type directly into the text field, the IME CORRECTLY displays Hirigana until <enter> is pressed, at which point all text reverts to question marks (?? ???? ? ?????). If I use the IME Pad, it does pretty much the same. I managed to get the "Yen" symbol to display, though, if that's relevant. As I said, font selected (in text/plate font options) is MS UI Gothic with Japanese as the selected script. Oddly enough, at this point the "sample" window is showing me the exact Hirigana character I want displayed in Lookout, but it won't. I've also tried staying in English and copying unicode characters from the Windows Character Map. Same results (Yen sign works, Hirigana WON'T).
Help me!

JW_Tech,
Have you changed the regional setting to Japanese?

  • USING THE CHARACTER SET SCANNER

    How can I find and download the Character Set Scanner utility mentioned in MetaLink document # 66320.1.
    Thanks
    Pratap

    I would like to know if there exists a database character set
    scanner for ORACLE816. If not, can I use the ORACLE817 scanner
    to scan my ORACLE816 database?Check out the Globalization Support Home page
    http://technet.oracle.com/tech/globalization/content.html and go
    to the scanner download page for more info.
    Is it important to use a scanner if I am converting my database
    from, say, WE8ISO8859P1 character set to UTF8? Yes definitely. The scanner will identify
    1. If you have any invalid WE8ISO8859P1 data in your database ,
    these will be lost during the character set conversion process.
    2. If there are any data cell expansions, so that column widths
    can be expanded to cater for the new sizing.
    3. Area of possible character set conversion and truncation of
    data.
    Can I assume that a database UTF8 will automatically store all
    my original characters correctly?UTF8 can store all the characters from WE8ISO8859P1 ,and it can
    be stored correctly if your NLS configuration is correct . The
    key is your client NLS_LANG character set setting .
    I have a client with NLS_LANG set to UFT8. When I exported my
    database (in WE8ISO8859P1) from my client, the export was done
    in the client's setting i.e. UTF8. Can I assume that the
    conversion was done at the time of export itself?Yes, your assumption is correct.

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

  • How do I enter my existing 26 character wep network key on my airport express. I have tried using a preceding $ to no avail

    How do I enter my existing 26 character wep network key on my airport express. I have tried using a preceding $ to no avail

    The WEP standard provides support for either:
    A 10 hexidecimal digit or 5 ASCII character key for 40-bit WEP,  OR
    A 26 hexidecimal digit or 13 ASCII character key for 128-bit WEP
    In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AirPort Express will be hashed differently than on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
    In addition, the 802.11n AirPorts do NOT support either 40-bit or 128-bit WEP in the "n" Radio Mode. You will have to switch to one of the non-"n" modes to access these wireless security options.
    When operating in 802.11n, the only WEP option is the WEP (Transitional Network Security) mode. Note: This mode only supports using 13 ASCII character keys. This would be the reason that you are not able to enter a 26 hexidecimal digit key. 
    You may find the following Apple Support article helpful: AirPort: Joining an encrypted WEP  or WPA Wi-Fi Network

  • HT1212 It says could not connect to the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter our passcode on the ipod before it can be used with Itunes. I forgot the passcode so how can I enter/ restore/reset it?

    It says could not connect to the ipod because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter our passcode on the ipod before it can be used with Itunes. I forgot the passcode so how can I enter/ restore/reset it?

    As the linked articl says, place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Hi I am bharath I am using Httpfox..How can I enter the URL manually insedi of Httpfox window?

    I want to enter one server URL and want to see the headers and all what are requirments for that serevr. How can I enter that server URL inside of the Httpfox? Thanks in advance

    hello, i think that extension is just recording/logging the headers as you are browsing along in the browser - so i think you just have to open httpfox and enter the address you want to inspect in the firefox address bar.
    if you have more detailed questions about extensions, please contact the developers of the extension themselves or use the support channels they provide, since they can give you far more detailed guidance.
    eidt: i think firefox also offers the same functionality inbuilt in the net section of the webconsole in tools > web-developer, [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Web_Console]

  • I use ibooks reading PDF documents. How can i mark text in PDFs in ibooks?

    I use the application iBook reading PDFs. How can I mark text in PDFs?

    For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
    The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
    Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
    Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
    Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.
    Be well...

  • How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

    how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
    is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
    thanks!

    No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

  • How can if find the most repeated character and number ???

    Hi,
    I have a question. For instance, if we have a text file which contains:
    aaabbbhhhhhhtttttsjs12366
    How can i find the most repeated character and number. I have to add this code to the following program:
    I will aprreciate if you can help.
    Regards,
    Serkan
    import java.io.*;
    public class LineLen {
         public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {
              final String filename = "deneme1.txt";
              BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(filename)));
              String line = infile.readLine();
              int linenum = 0;
              while (line != null) {
                   int len = line.length();
                   linenum++;
                   System.out.print(linenum + "\t");
                   for (int i = 0; i<len; i++)
                   System.out.print("*");
                   System.out.println("");
                   line = infile.readLine();
    }

    For a small alphabet like English, array migt be used:
    //in a for loop
    ++array[s.charAt(i)];For a big alphabet like chinese, HashMap might be barely used:
    map.put(s.charAt(i), increment(map.get(s.charAt(i))));
    // increment is a user defined method, possibly for an Integer object,
    // that returns a new Integer object

  • How can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?

    Hello, all,
    how can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?
    E.g. I want to implement a top-down-planning scenario and I have the following hierarchy:
    Europe
         Germany
         France
         UK
         Spain
         Italy
    How can I enter a value on Europe in an input schedule in order to allocate this value afterwards?
    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Gerd

    Gerd,
    It should be something like below -
    EuropeInput
    Europe
         Germany
         France
         UK
         Spain
         Italy
    EuropeInput shall be kept out of hierarchy and should be a base level member. Users will enter the numbers in this member. In your script logic, you will make use of this member to allocate the data in Bas(Europe) i.e. Germany, France, etc.
    Effectively, after allocation the same data will be rolled up to Europe.
    Many top-down planning would use such work-around as BPC doesn't allow writing to parent node.

    Ashish
