I have also tried to turn off the AppFirewall Filter in xlConfig.xml file but no help. Is there any way thay I can enter non-Ascii characters in Email field?

What about fixing the encoding problem instead? If chars get
lost during
such a transfer
document->script->database->script->browser it's always
an encoding problem somewhere down the road.
The recommendation these days is to use UTF-8, which avoids
most of
these old problems. You just have to make sure that your
documents are
properly stored as UTF-8 in the database and delivered as
such to the
script and the browser, then you don't have to worry about
special chars
anymore.
That's just the general idea. I can't be more specific, since
I don't
know your conversion script or the database structure.

[Solved] no non-ASCII character input in rxvt-unicode

Hello everyone,
For some days now, I can't write any non-ASCII characters any more in rxvt-unicode and rxvt-unicode-patched. Unfortunately, downgrading the rxvt-unicode package doesn't seem to help. To have at least a temporary solution, I'd like to know at least which packages I could try to downgrade as well. Any ideas, anyone?
greez,

When I try to type a non-ASCII-character I get nothing at all. This happens with my custom keyboard layout (modified programmer dvorak) and in some layouts I already tried (us: altgr-intl, ch, de and fr)
When I paste a non-ASCII characters in rxvt-unicode I get
maxmin ~ $ ?
This happens only on my x86_64 desktop which is more up to date than my i686 laptop. (I'm afraid now to do any updates.)
EDIT: I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean with locale settings. What do you mean with that?
EDIT2: Maybe just typing locale in the terminal is what you mean:
maxmin ~ $ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
With other terminal emulators I get sometimes also nothing and sometimes right displayed but wrong interpreted character in vim. I didn't take notes while doing that but I'll try again if needed.

ALV Grid bug when dealing with non-ASCII character

Dear all,
I have a requirement to display user's remarks on ALV. The data element of the remarks column is TEXT200. I know that each column in an ALV Grid can display at most 128 characters. Since my SAP is an Unicode system, I expect that each column in my ALV Grid can display 128 Chinese characters, too. However, the ALV Grid only display 42 Chinese characters at most. Is this a bug in ALV Grid? How can I fix it?
I did a small experiment. The results are listed below. My version is Net Weaver 7.01. The results show that the bug does not exist in ALV List. However, my user prefers ALV Grid, which is more beautiful and elegant.
Type of ALV
Max number of
ASCII character
in an ALV column
Max number of
non-ASCII character
in an ALV column
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
128
42 Chinese characters
CL_SALV_TABLE
128
42 Chinese characters
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID
128
42 Chinese characters
REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
132
132 Chinese characters
If you encounter the bug, please post your solution. Thanks a lot.

It looks like limitation of ALV grid cell, which can contain up to 128 bytes in SAP gui.
Your unicode characters are probably 3 bytes each.
Check OSS Note 910300 for more detailed info.
EDIT: Note 1401711 seems to be a correction for your issue It allows to use 128 characters (even if they take more than 128 bytes).

Unicode value of a non-ASCII character

Hi,
Suppose, the unicode value of the character ् is '\u094d'.
Is there any Java function which can get this unicode value of a non-ASCII character.
Like:
char c='्';
String s=convertToUnicode(c);
System.out.println("The unicode value is "+ s);
Output:
The unicode value is \u094d
Thanks in advance

I have tried with the parameter
c:\ javac -encoding utf8 filename.java
Still I am getting the same print i.e. \u3fIf it comes out as "\u3f" (instead of failing to compile or any other value), then your source code already contains the question mark. So you already saved it wrong and have to re-type it (at least the single character).

Then I studied one tutorial regarding this issue
http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/howto/java/encoding.html
It says that we need to save the java file in UTF-8 format. I have explored most of the editors like netbean, eclipse, JCreator, etc... there is no option to save the java file in UTF-8 format.That's one way. But since that is so problematic (you'll have to remember/make sure to always save it that way and to compile it using the correct switch), the better solution by far is not to use any non-ASCII characters in your source code.
I already told you two possible ways to achieve that: unicode escapes or externalized strings.
Also read http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html (just because it's related, essential information and I just posted that link somewhere else).

Remove non ascii character

i need a SQL or Procedure that will search non ascii character in data and update the data by removing it
Suppose there is table TABLE1 with Column NAME
it contain number of row and few has non ascii character eg 'CharacterÄr'
My sql or procedure should be able to search 'CharacterÄr' and update the row with 'Character'
i.e. removing the non ascii character 'Ä' from the data

Hi,
Okay, in that case:
SELECT str
,      REGEXP_REPLACE ( str
                      , '[^[:cntrl:] -~]'
                      )   AS new_str
FROM    table_x
or, to actually change the rows that contain the bad characters:
UPDATE table_x
SET     str = REGEXP_REPLACE ( str
                             , '[^[:cntrl:] -~]'
WHERE   REGEXP_LIKE ( str

Non-ascii character problem

hi
Scenario: Reading Flat-File and writing into Oralce Table.
In my database procedure, I have declared a column say X as VARCHAR2 to store string values. In the flat-file, some times the data for column X comes as Non-ASCII string values (e. SäHKOTOIM) and because of this the database procedure raises ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error.
So, how I can identify that the flat file has non-ascii values so that I can reject that record and move with another record?
your suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
shakeel

Hi,
You set you nls_database_parameters which is compatiable with you input (non- ascii) characters.
Try to use the LCSSCAN in order to know the relevant character set with respective to input and set the nls_parameters

Keyword import fails on non-ascii character

I recently tried to import a long set of keywords (about 4000 terms). i set up the file in excel and then tried to import the records. I kept getting this message:
only text files encoded with ascii or unicode UTF-8 are supported when importing keywords.
I finally tracked down the problem when i converted the file to a MS word text file, broke it down into parts and eventually found the problem record. for some reason, the apostrophe in the words "don't know" had been corrupted to a weird character. after i corrected this, everything worked.
however, this took a long time. It would have been helpful if lightroom could have at least pinpointed the line where the import failed or offered to convert non-compliant charaters to some specific character or set of characters.

Yeah, that didn't work so well since SuperDuper ran across repeated errors trying to do so; I suspect it's something to do with the drive. (SuperDuper complains about WD's MyBook, which is what the drive is.) Because SD stops the entire copy operation on single errors, it'd be a painstaking process.
Besides that, I like doing fresh installs of all the bits.

Printer name with non-ASCII character

Is it possible to name a printer using ISO-8859-1 (or WINLATIN1) characters?
Our business system has logical printer names defined, sometimes using Norwegian (and Danish) letters (AE-lig, O-slash and A-ring), which we would like to map to the correct Windows UNC paths.
Mapping to a UNC path containing one of these characters works fine. But if the printer name itself contains a non-ASCI ISO character it fails.
Example using BÆR (B AE-lig R):
!p BÆR * \\print\bærum * 50 *
Don't know how the log will look after posting, but I'll try:

For others who might have the same problem. You can solve it by quoting the device name and/or printer name.
!p """BÆR""" * """\\print\bærum""/q" * 50 *
This, however, causes the printer name to be '"BÆR"' with the double quotes included in the name. Thus, the job card must contain the unfortunate tripple quotes as well: -z"""BÆR""".

Convert non-ASCII character to decimal value

Hi all,
I have the following problem:
When reading a String containing the full spectrum of UTF-8 characters from a BufferedReader:
How can I get the decimal value of the String's characters outside the ASCII range?
When I try to do a MyBufferedReader.read(), I get the int value 65533 for these characters, instead of their real value in the UTF-8 set.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Dre

That's the character you get when you try to decode a character with no valid decoding. Of course there aren't any such characters for UTF-8. Therefore whatever you did, don't do that. More specifically: you've already got a String, don't do anything which involves converting it to bytes. That's completely unnecessary.
Or perhaps the problem is the way you create the String in the first place. Who knows?

Php / mysql replace non-ascii character in a string

I have a script that converts a ms word document to text then
uploads that to a blob field on a mysql db.
During the conversion some characters my not be recognised.
When i then call up the blob for display on the browser...those
characters show up as unknown characters with a ? or box. Is there
a way to preg_replace those unknown characters before displaying
them.
thanks

Encoding non-ASCII in mail subject

I'm getting =?ANSI_X3.4-1968?Q? in the subject line of my email with non-ASCII character.
I tried using encodeText from the MimeUtiliy like this but it won't work:
   Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            // -- Set the subject and body text --
            msg.setSubject(MimeUtility.encodeText(subject) );How should I go about?
Thank you
Niklas

Thank you very much. I'll make the suggested changes and report back. It's the deafult locale of a virtual dedicated server at secureserver.net which shouldn't be strange. Meanwhile here is the entire method:
public static void send(String smtpServer, String to, String from
            , String subject, String body, String personal) {
        try {
            log.info("using smtp server:"+smtpServer);
            Properties props = System.getProperties();
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpServer);
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
            // -- Create a new message --
            Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

            //msg.setSubject(subject, �UTF-8″);
            //msg.setText(body);
            msg.setContent(body, "text/html");

            msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", "MarketMail");
            msg.setSentDate(new Date());

How to enter non-ASCII symbols in a JTextArea

A user asked me a question today that I have been unable to answer from a Google search or review of the Java documentation. If an application has a JTextArea and the user operating an American-style keyboard wishes to enter a non-ASCII character (a tilde, an accented e, an umlaut, a copyright symbol, etc.), are there key sequences that will allow him to do so? I was thinking that there might be some kind of alt key combination that would let him enter unicode values. Is anything like that supported?

Thanks. I'd not heard of this technique.
Throwback that I am, I'm running under Windows-XP. My results were a bit spotty, I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has different results.
Microsoft describes two techniques for enterring "special" characters my typing numeric values. The best description I found was at http://www.windowsvistasecret.net/secret.asp?haber=54 Also, there is a page with a nice table of symbol values at http://www.irongeek.com/alt-numpad-ascii-key-combos-and-chart.html (the author recommends using alternate key codes for passwords, but given my mixed success with the technique, that seems a bit risky).
Anyway, the first method is to turn the num lock on and then enter ALT followed by a three digit decimal code value for the character string (you must enter the values on the number keypad, not the main keypad). This seems to work great in a Java text field. There is an alternate method, where you can specify a hexadecimal unicode value by typing a string in the form U+00A9 and then pressing ALT-X. This requires a special registry setting which may not be the default on you computer. For me, at least, it works in WordPad, but not in the JTextArea.
Finally, I think that the engineer at Microsoft who decided to name this technique the Alt<+>xxx key sequence had a pretty twisted sense of humor. You can guess what a Google search yields for "ALT XXX".
Tomorrow, when I have access to a Linux machine, I'll have to revisit this. Thanks again for all your help.

Non-ascii, jsp-struts, not reciveing the correct value in the server

Hi,
I am developing JSP-Struts based application using tomcat server. In JSP struts form, when I put nonascii charater in the text field or text area, on the server side I recived twice of that non-ascii character..
for example, in the text field I entered following string:
------> This is text in tex field �
On the server side, I get the following:
------> This is text in tex field ��
Please notice, twice non ascii character.. :(
I don't know how to resolve this.. Any help will be greatly appricated..
Thanks,
Ajay

I changed the <form> in the jsp to div and its working fine. I do not need to have comments in JavaScript funcion() anymore. I don't know why that made the difference though? According to:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_form.asp
The <form> tag is used to create an HTML form for user input.
The <form> element can contain one or more of the following form elements:
<input>
<textarea>
<button>
<select>
<option>
<optgroup>
<fieldset>
<label>
An HTML form is used to pass data to a server.
I do have <button> and also send the data - the value of checkboxes - to server. So I think it should also work with <form>.
Please let me know if you have any idea. Thanks.
