Non English characters in BIP email

Hi, my report contains Japanese characters, when I view the output in HTML format. It is displayed properly. But when I click on send button , enter email parameters like to, cc, bcc, subject , etc and send it, in the mail I receive, the japanese characters are not getting displayed properly. The same problem occurs for spanish and portugese texts-in general to all non english characters. I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 10.1.3.4. If someone has faced a similar issue, kindly help. Thanks in advance

Suggestions
1) Try with NLS_LANG as
SWEDISH_SWEDEN.WE8DEC
2) Make a paramform and enter via paramform (unencoded)
(This is just for testing purpose)
3) Change machine locale to swedish and try
4) Which reports version is this ?
Please see
BUG 2713695 - NLS CHARACTERS FOR PARAMETERS CHANGE TO QUESTION MARKS WHEN PASSED ON URL BAR
Get in touch with Support to see if this is the issue and if "yes" get a one-off patch.

Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue

My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
And of course better; has someone solved this?

I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?

Can't CF use non English characters in URLs ???? (critical for SEO)

Hi all,
I want to use non English characters (Greek characters) for folders of the URLs.
eg   http://www.mysite.com/Φάκελος/index.cfm
where "Φάκελος" is a non English word (Greek).
When the called page is simple HTML eg   www.mysite.com/Φάκελος/index.HTM
it's displayed just fine.
When the called page is CF page eg   www.mysite.com/Φάκελος/index.CFM
I get a "FILE NOT FOUND" error.
In the page where the link exists everything is UTF-8.
What's the problem ? Can't CF use non English characters in URLs ????
It's critical for SEO issues.
I use CF9. Any ideas ???
Thanks in advance.

I don't have this setting in the email application. But as I know, html with Exchange is working only with the 2007 version, my server is still 2003 so I think in my case it's plain text only.
But I'm telling again: good old (and now starting to miss) E60 with MfE worked very well!

Filtering out non-English characters

Anyone know of a way to use the Junk Mail filters to filter out email that has non-English characters in the subject line? I get a lot of spam that has either Asian or Russian characters in the subject and body of the email.
Thanks, Jim

Jimbot,
you might want to take a look at Junk Matcher - it allows you to flag mail based on character sets used - it seamlessly integrates with Mail's spam filter - once you have set it up to match your preferences, it should improve Mail's spam filter a lot:

Non-English characters

Hello, I have read several times that since Java uses Unicode, it solves the problems of non-English characters automatically or something like that.
But my app is not working as expected. Would someone help please?
I have a client/server combo written in Java. The server can send messages in English or Japanese. The Japanese messages are hard-coded as String literals in the server source code. On the client side, they are displayed on a JEditorPane. But the Japanese characters are all garbled. The OS on the server side and client side are, of course, different.
My supposition, which is obviously wrong as it is not working, is that since both ends of communication are Java app, I need not worry about any encoding conversions for String literals.
Suggest me what is wrong here?

How is the required encoding/decoding supposed to be done?
When I didn't worry about non-English characters, I did the following, which WORKED.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
out.println(outMessage);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String inMessage = in.readLine();When non-English characters are involved, I did the following, which DID NOT WORK. Please someone correct me.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
String utfString = new String(outMessage.getBytes(),"UTF-8");
out.println(utfString);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
InputStreamReader ins = new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream(),"UTF-8");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(ins);
String inMessage = in.readLine();The received message is still garbled.

Non english characters in DN cannot be retrieved

We are using Netscape directory server 4, protocal V3. We have a problem related to non-english characters appearing in RDN.
We publish to Ldap entries using the values from database. For example, we have pubulished an entry to Ldap, based on DB values, the entry should have a DN like: ou=Liege BELGIUM ... LGG1a, <other components of DN>. However, when we call netscape search API (search against uid attribute which does not have non-english characters), the search return the entry, but when further call getDN() method on the returned Ldap Entry, it only returns Li, instead of the complete DN value.
It seems the entry is corrupted in Ldap. I wanted to delete the corrupted entry and re create new one to test. I tried many ways, but none of them worked, I think it is because DN is corrupted, there is no key value to identify the Ldap entry for any operation(modify, delete).
You help and insights are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Han Shen

LDAP uses the UTF8 encoding. You must store data in the directory using the UTF8 encoding. This includes DN values. This also means that if you want to be able to view the values in your native character set and font, you must use an application that can convert the UTF8 LDAP data back to the native character encoding. The directory console by default should work for LATIN-1 (ISO 8859) languages if the LOCALE is set correctly.

How to retrieve non-english characters from a query

Hello,
My apologies if this post is not in its proper place, but I was a bit confused where to add it.
I'm running a query using SQL Developer on a table which contains several companies names from many different countries, and one of the checks I need to make to ensure data consistency is to search for all rows which the name of company contains special or non-english characters (like ç, ã, ä as example).
I don't know what can I use to do this. I tried to collate using NLS_SORT but it didn't work.
Is there someway to select only the rows that contain these special or non-english characters, excluding from the results the rows that only have english characters? Please have in mind that we have many languages in this table.
The field I would like to make the conditions on is VARCHAR2.
Please let me know if there is any extra information I should provide you so that you can help me.
Thank you in advance for the help.
Regards,
Luís

Odd number of non-english characters get broken in windows-chrome and ff

I developed jnlp applet which prints out the user input.
When I put odd number of non-english characters(eg: chinese), chrome and firefox browser prints out the last character as question mark.
input : 가
output : 가��
I checked on java console that the character is correct.
It must be bug in communication of applet to chrome browser.
IE prints out correctly.
I can resolve the issue by appending white space on applet and remove it on java script.
Anyone has any clue on the issue?
Codes are as follows.
MainApplet.Java
public class MainApplet extends JApplet implements JSInterface{//, Runnable {
     public int stringOut(String sData) {
          OutData = sData;
          return 0;
js File
function TSToolkitRealWrapper ()
     var OutData;
     var OutDataNum;
var TSToolkit = new TSToolkitRealWrapper();
var attributes = { id:'TSToolkitReal',code:'tradesign.pkitoolkit.applet.MainApplet', width:100, height:100} ;
var parameters = {jnlp_href: getContextPath() + '/download/pkitoolkit.jnlp',
                     separate_jvm:true, classloader_cache:false} ;
TSToolkitRealWrapper.prototype.stringOut=function(str)
          var      nRet = TSToolkitReal.stringOut(str)     ;
          this.OutData= TSToolkitReal.OutData;
          return      nRet;

I checked on java console that the character is correct.So it isn't a Java problem.
It must be bug in communication of applet to chrome browser.So tell the people who make the Chrome browser.
IE prints out correctly.That's a change. I've just spent nine days tracking down an IE applet problem and I'm not finished yet.
Please omit the boldface next time. We can read. Boldface doesn't help; it makes it worse.

Encoding non english characters with utf 8 on jsp (Critical!!)

I am inserting hebrew characters from JSP into oracle db and everything is fine until this point. But when I try to retrieve the information from the database, the characters are not displayed properly (I get some garbage characters). I am sure that the data stored in the database is correct, but not sure why there is a problem in displaying the data in the JSP.
I came across a thread on TSS
http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28944
and followed the suggestions given there like having
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">and also this
<%
//Some JDBC and sql statement query UTF-8 data and then ...
String str = rs.getString("utf8_data");
str = new String(str.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
%>
<%= str %>Now, the data getting displayed is partly correct, I mean to say, some characters are still coming as squares.
Any ideas will be of great help.

even i doubt the database charset for this issue. But what I dont understand is how only certain hebrew characters are getting stored properly and why others are corrupted?
Also, can anyone let me know how i can view the Non-English characters present in the database directly, as TOAD is not able to display them

Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

Hello guys,
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
"ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office).
The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.
Thank you very much for any help.
Tom

Hi Tom,
VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
character.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
Hex   Dec
ř 159   345
ů 016F 367
So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)

Support issue for non-English characters (in html forms)

Hi group!
I just want to post an issue here and see if anyone else has the same problem. First off, Im running Windows XP MCE but the French version (not the english version). This may help find out where the problem really is.
Second, I know a bit of html and such, and I'm referring to HTML Character entities for this thread, there's a quite complete list here for reference: http://www.faqs.org/docs/htmltut/characterentitiesfamsupp69.html
I noticed that some, not all, non-English characters written in a textarea (which is, basically, a multi-lined input box) doesnt pass well or at all to the server when sending the form from Safari. Most of the time, the content of the text area is reduced to the beginning and ends where the first accentued character is met.
The most used French accents (é, à) are usually well interpreted (but may, once in a while, produce that bug too) by safari, but ô and î doesnt do that well.
Oddly, this bug doesnt happen all the time and doesnt "crash" in the same manner everytime.
So I started a thread just to see if there's anyone else having issues with any non-english characters mostly in forms. Probably flash/shockwave does work, but I'm not sure- I have not tested yet.
Acer Aspire 5044 Windows XP Turion 1.8GHz, 1Gb SDRam, ATI 200M xpress

Yes, it is a known issue. I also noticed that it sometimes works, but most of the time it does not. It will hopefully be solved in the future. According to http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ changes that will come include:
# Support for International users
# International text input methods
# Advanced text (contextual forms, international scripts)

Cannot see folder- in non english characters.

I have set up PySDM to mount one of my harddrives on boot. The problem is that I cannot see a folder (ls and nautilus ) there , which is non -english characters (russian). Ubuntu was able to see it properly. I verified it was there by booting back to Windows.

*vitali* wrote:Ok what should it be?
UTF-8 maybe (or utf8 I'm never sure which one to use).
Try mounting it manually and check for errors and if it works as you want.
