Issue with Keyboard Special Characters in HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU

I am using a HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU notebook. I just had my Windows 7 Professional installed. When I @ using Shift + 2 it displays " (quotation marks). It is vice-versa as well, ie., when I type " using Shift ' it displays @ symbol. I as well have issue with typing the hash symbol. When I type Shift 3 it displays £ instead of hash symbol. This is a brand new laptop and I am using an external USB keyboard as well for my convenience. This problem is encountered in both keyboards (notebook keyboard and external keyboard) as well. What do I do now? It has become a literal mess with characters making it difficult most of the times. Kindly help

That looks like keyboard layout issue...Looks like your keyboard is set to UK english...to check that...
To check that, Click Start, type intl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards.
You should see 2 entries English (united States) and English (United Kingdom). If true, delete English (United Kingdom). That should take care of it...

Interactive report : issue with french special characters

Hi,
We have many interactive reports and we can't use any french special characters in the filter clauses. For example, Montréal becomes montrÃ©al.
What parameters do we have to change to make it work?
Thanks.

I found the answer in this thread : Interactive Report Character Set Issue

Unity Connection 8.6 LDAP or CUCM Import with german special characters called "Umlaut": ä, ö, ü

Hi,
for jabber 9.1 integration i sync'ed all users at Callmanager, Presence and Unity to our LDAP (MS AD). with CUCM and Presence (both 8.6.x), it works fine, just Unity Connection sync the Users from AD, but i cannot import Users with german special characters ä, ö, ü (i.E. German Name in LDAP-su: Müller).
Jabber 9.1 need for Voicemail Integration the AD Authentication. Know somebody, if there is an Workaraound or Fix ?
This is a general issue, with or without Jabber, with sync directly from AD, or indirectly through CUCM (sync'ed with AD)
thx and regards

I located an identical defect (CSCts28455) that was closed as unreproducible. The defect references CSCtj73444 "Add support for UTF-8 password to LDAP and RADIUS/MSCHAP" which is added to 8.4.2 with the recommendation of RADIUS/MSCHAP or LDAP only for international character support. It would make sense to go to the latest in your current train (ie: 8.4.4.1.ED) and see if the issue remains. What you want to do appears to be supported.

Transfer/Reply to emails with french special characters - BB 9360

Hi,
I've got a problem when I reply/transfer to mails with french special characters (such as "é" "è" "ç" etc..) => all the special characters are replaced with strange characters such as chinese letters or others.
No problem when I send an email with those same characters, it appears only when transfer or reply and only on special characters contained in the original mail I transfer/reply to.
is there a way to solve this issue?
thanks

while pressing the 'e' key, scroll your trackball side to side, you will find the various e variations.
You can do that with most keys to get special characters.

Problem with Icelandic special characters on Mac

Hello
I am working on a Flash publication for students, and I want it to run on Mac as well as PC. Everything goes fine, except a problem with three special characters in my language, Icelandic. I am working on a registration and login page where I am using text boxes and text input boxes. Everything looks correct on PC, but on Mac the characters Þ Ð Ý are lost.
I have tried different fonts etc.
Any idea what is wrong?
Jónas Helgason

Hello Jónas,
Did you ever figure this out ?
I have a similar problem except only with two letters (both upper and lower case). These two Icelandic letters can't be entered into a Flex TextInput box in the Flex apps I am creating when they are loaded on a Mac. The letters are known as &Eth, &eth, &Thorn and &thorn in HTML terminology. Typing these characters on the keyboard results in the following: { [ ? /
However I can copy the characters in question from some other app like TextEdit and paste them into a TextInput box in my Flex app and all is well, they show up correctly.
This happens regardless of the Mac browser used and the Flash plugin version used (have tried both 9 and 10) and also happens in the standalone Flash Player application.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or is this a bug in Flash Player ? This is really annoying as it makes text input into Flex apps on Icelandic Macs very difficult.
There must be something wrong with the mapping of keyboard key codes into character codes on the Mac that is causing this.
Btw, I just heard from a friend that this problem does not exist in MacOS 10.6. I am running 10.4 and have tested this on 10.5 and it exists on both of those OS versions.
Rgds,

WiFi Network Name with Underscore Special Characters Issue

Turns out that iPod Touch doesn't like wireless network names with special characters (e.g. underscores) in them (I had 2 underscores in mine).
It will establish a connection, get an IP address, even use WEP but won't talk to the Internet if the wireless access point name has an underscore in it. If you can change your wireless network name to remove the special characters the iPod Touch becomes very and will connect using the Internet.

I'm looking for a way to escape all characters (not only the minus sign) except for a specific character. Kind of like 'unescaping' a specific character (the '%' sign) within braces {}What about if you apply a function like regexp_replace to escape all known "specific characters", and then unescape the particular specific character again back as e.g. in
SQL> select 'a.da-df%df*' str, replace (
                                               regexp_replace (
                                                    'a.da-df%df*',
                                                    '([[:punct:]])',
                                                    '\\\1'
                                               str2
from dual
STR         STR2
a.da-df%df* a\.da\-df%df\*
1 row selected.i.e. don't escape with curly brackets but with the backslash character.
You can then use this string in your query like in
WHERE CONTAINS(r.POI_NAME, '<query> <textquery grammar="context"> <progression><seq>'
||'aaab'
||'</seq><seq>'
||'aaa\-b'
||'%</seq></progression> </textquery> </query> ' ,1)> 2

Swiss French Keyboard - Special Characters

I have a Swiss French keyboard, but I write in other languages as Portuguese, and I have difficulties in writing some special characters as: Á, Í, Ú (I had to copy and past them here in order to write). Is there a complete manual for all characters with the Swiss French keyboard layout?
Thanks!

Problems with using special characters in Interactive Report Search

Hi!
I am currently developing an Application on Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 including a page with an Interactive Report, facing the problem that I cannot use special german characters in the Searchbar.
So if i try to find a name like 'Schröder' the created Filter looks like this 'SchrÃ¶der' and i won't get any valid search results. By the way the rest of the application supports these special characters like using them in Buttons or any other Page elements.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this problem, because it's driving me nuts ;)
Thanks in advance

Af:inputFile problems with enconding, special characters

Hi all,
searched around the web and in these forum, found this topic:
af:inputFile encoding file name is not known
As the author I'm getting the same issue with characters like âáàíí and all things like that
in my language(Brazilian).
Instantly after I choose a file the name goes with a � in the place of these chars I mentioned before.
I changed everything to UTF-8 like my template and jspx file:
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
I also changed my web.xml header:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
And everything in Jdeveloper is set to UTF-8 like IDE and compiler preferences.
Added this lines to weblogic.xml too:
<charset-params>
<input-charset>
<resource-path>/*</resource-path>
<java-charset-name>UTF-8</java-charset-name>
</input-charset>
</charset-params>
Everything seens to not work :(
Using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.3 / Windows XP SP3 Portuguese
Developing with ADF/EJB3/JPA
Regards,
Renan.

Please check that the compiled pages are UTF-8 encoded. Open the project properties, select 'Compiler' and check the 'Character Encoding*' is set to UTF-8. Next select the 'JSP' node under 'Compiler' and check the encoding there.

Problems with Turkish special characters

Hello!
We are producing Oracle Help with WebWorks Publisher 2003 Professional for FrameMaker. There are some problems with the Turkish version of our online help: The Turkish special characters (for example the dotless i) aren´t displayed correctly in the navigation panes TOC and index. They are replaced by other characters (for example by a "y")
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Miriam Rassenhofer

Miriam,
What encoding are the TOC and index XML files being generated in? You should use UTF-8 for the minimum of problems. I presume WebWorks has an option for this. Other than that, make sure the top of those XML files has the proper XML declaration with the encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>You may want to try opening the XML files in an XML-aware text editor to ensure they look right there (JDeveloper is one such editor).
If all of that is working, post back and we can talk offline about getting a snippet of one of those XML files for us to look at.
