Special ALT Characters on TM2T

Searched "Special Characters" in the board but did not see.
Was wondering if there was any easy shortcut for typing the characters normally displayed by pressing "ALT" and the four-digit code. I did see the "FN" plus arrow keys for navigating through pages which was very useful, hoping for something similar. Thanks for any assistance which can be provided.

This is not easy. I prefer to run charmap.exe, minimize it to the task bar, and copy/paste the characters I need.
I don't know if the old standard way (Num Lock On, ALT+nnn) would work with an external full keyboard.
That would be fine if the built in keyboard actually had a number lock key and the small function numbers and characters on the letter keys. A design flaw as far as I am concerned and a total pain without this functionality.
The other key that is missing is the Windows context menu key to the left of the right Ctrl key - I constantly use this (or did). Instead we have a PrtSc key.
I'll be asking out IT department to find me another laptop.

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
Cheers all.

There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.

Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

Hi all,
I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
Thanks.
Florian

Hi!
No, it's not a Unicode system.
It is maintained as:
Tar. Lang. Lang. Output Format Dev. type
Format
PDF EN English PDF1
Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
Thanks,
Florian

Importing WORD document with special regional characters in RoboHelp X5

Hello,
i have a problem, when im importing a *.doc document. The
document is written in slovene and it contains special regional
characters. Here is the deal:
I was using RoboHelp 4.0 before and i had this same problem.
What i did was, when i added a new topic (imported *.doc file) into
existing project and the WebHelp was generated, in the web browser
i clicked the last added topic and opened a source code, where i
changed the charset from 1252 to 1250. That enabled the special
characters to be viewed correctly. When i imported some additional
topics and generated the WebHelp again, the program somehow "saved"
the 1250 setting in the previous topics and the characters were
correctly shown. I had to adjust 1250 only in the new topics, that
were added before the last generate.
When i try to do the same in RoboHelp X5, this doesnt work.
Program doesnt "remember" the 1250 setting and it always generates
with 1252 character setting. Which is a problem, because there are
a lot of topics and i would have to change the character setting
for every topic/doc document i added.
What can i do ?
Thanks in advance

Special Unicode characters in RSS XML

Hi,
I'm using an adapted version of Husnu Sensoy's solution (http://husnusensoy.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/o-rss-11010-on-sourceforgenet/ - thanks, Husnu) to consume RSS feeds in an Apex app.
It works a treat, except in cases where the source feeds contain special unicode characters such as [right double quotation mark - 0x92 0x2019] (thankyou, http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml)
These cases fail with
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00217: invalid character 8217 (U+2019) Error at line 19
Any ideas on how to translate these characters, or replace them with something innocuous (UNISTR?), so that the XML transformation succeeds?
Many thanks,
jd

Special HTML Characters

Hi,
I encountered a problem with regards to the display of special HTML characters(chr 155). Crystal was not able to correctly display the cahracters. Instead a blank space was displayed. In addition to, when the report is exported to PDF, it is displayed as boxes.
Is there a way to handle display of special HTML chars in crystal?
Thanks

Crystal HTML interpreter is very limited and has been same for years, so it seems unlikley it will chnage any time soon.
As its a specific character that is failing use a replace formul to remove the long dash html and replace with a short dash html which I guess Crystal will recognise.
Replace(yourfield, 'longdashhtml', 'shortdashhtml')

OVD - special/national characters in LDAP context

Hi all,
I created integration between Active Directory and Oracle 10g via Oracle Virtual Directory 10g. All works correctly but some users have national characters in his/her AD context. For example Thomas Bjørne (cn=Thomas Bjørne,cn=Users,dc=media,dc=local). In this case this user cannot login into database. I know that problem is with special national characters in AD context but I don't know how solve it. It is not possible change AD context :-(
Can somebody help me with it?

Lets first verify that you can bind to OID using the command line
commands with an existing user in OID.
Lets assume for a moment that your users password is welcome and
their DN in OID is cn=jdoe,c=US
Try the following command and tell me what the results are.
ldapsearch -p port_num -h host_name -b "c=US" -s sub -v "cn=*"
It should return all users under c=US. If not let me know the
error message you get.

SAP special german characters(umlaut) like ü, ö, ä not displayed properly in XML output

Hello Team,
Here we are facing issues while converting SAP tables data to XML file.
the description is not converting properly for the special German characters like ü, ö, ä.
Actual output should be :Überprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
Output Displayed :Ã#berprÃ¼fung nach Â§ 29 STVZO
Can you please look into and help me in this to get correct output .
Thank you.

Hi,
Unicode or Non-Unincode System ?
Displayed where ? SAPGUI ? Print Preview ? Spool-Display ?
And how is the XML file written ? OPEN DATASET ? BAPI ?
At all of these stages it might be either that it is only a display system, like the selected display CHARSET in SAPGUI, when it is a non-unicode system, or simply not coded correctly like OPEN DATASET without specifying the cdepage when necessary.
And it might even be, that even "displaying" the XML File is simply done with the incorrect codepage while the data inside the file is correct.
If you are on Windows, you might even face funny results when saving a simple textfile from notepad with ANSI/DOS and both Unicode variants and then go to CMD.EXE ans simply "type" the content.
All 4 results will be different, allthough notepad will display the same stuff.
So first of all, makes sure which codepage is relevant at all stages from DB-table to "display"
- DB-Charset
- SAP system type (unicode/non-unicode)
- SAP codepage (1100 / 410x )
- crosscheck the test from report RSCPINST
- Codepage on Windows running SAPGUI
- Selected codpage for Sapgui

Fail to pass special Hungarian characters using WSDL

Dear All,
I'm using WLS 7.0SP1, the webservice is generated with the ant task in rpc-style.
The client is written in VB6 with MS SoapToolkit3.
The simple method that receives and returns a
string fails when the input or output
contains special Hungarian characters.
Can anyone help how to solve the problem?
Thank you,
Peter

Hello,
Thank you for the help, I set the property and it's working fine,
the characters appear as they should!
Meanwhile I realized that the failiure was because of some
unneeded '\0' characters at the back of the strings.
Thank you again,
Peter

Alt+ characters on Lenovo T430 keyboard

Hello everyone,
How can I insert alt+ characters on T430 keyboard? For example, if I wanted to insert en dash on my regular desktop keyboard, I would press alt+0150 (on numeric keyboard). However, I cannot find the right combo on my thinkpad keyboard.
Thanks for your help,
Srdjan

Problem inserting text with special Hungarian characters into MySQL database

When I insert text into my MySQL db the special Hungarian
characters (ő,ű) they change into "?".
When I check the
<cfoutput>#FORM.special_character#</cfoutput> it gives
me the correct text, things go wrong just when writing it into the
db. My hosting provider said the following: "please try to
evidently specify "latin2" charset with "latin2_hungarian_ci"
collation when performing any operations with tables. It is
supported by the server but not used by default." At my former
hosting provider I had no such problem. Anyway how could I do what
my hosting provider has suggested. I read a PHP related article
that said use "SET NAMES latin2". How could I do such thing in
ColdFusion? Any suggestion? Besides I've tried to use UTF8 and
Latin2 character encoding both on my pages and in the db but with
not much success.
I've also read a French language message here in this forum
that suggested to use:
<cfscript>
setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
</cfscript>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I' ve changed the utf-8 to latin2 and even to iso-8859-2 but
didn't help.
Thanks, Aron

I read that it would be the most straightforward way to do
everything in UTF-8 because it handles well special characters so
I've tried to set up a simple testing environment. Besides I use CF
MX7 and my hosting provider creates the dsn for me so I think the
db driver is JDBC but not sure.
1.) In Dreamweaver I created a page with UTF-8 encoding set
the Unicode Normalization Form to "C" and checked the include
unicode signature (BOM) checkbox. This created a page with the meta
tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />. I've checked the HTTP header with an online
utility at delorie.com and it gave me the following info:
HTTP/1.1, Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8, Server:
Microsoft-IIS/6.0
2.) Then I put the following codes into the top of my page
before everything:
<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = "utf-8">
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "utf-8")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "utf-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
3.) I wrote some special Hungarian chars
(<p>őű</p>) into the page and they displayed
well all the time.
4.) I've created a simple MySQL db (MySQL Community Edition
5.0.27-community-nt) on my shared hosting server with phpMyAdmin
with default charset of UTF-8 and choosing utf8_hungarian_ci as
default collation. Then I creted a MyISAM table and the collation
was automatically applied to my varchar field into wich I stored
data with special chars. I've checked the properties of the MySQL
server in MySQL-Front prog and found the following settings under
the Variables tab: character_set_client: utf8,
character_set_connection: utf8, character_set_database: latin1,
character_set_results: utf8, character_set_server: latin1,
character_set_system: utf8, collation_connection: utf8_general_ci,
collation_database: latin1_swedish_ci, collation_server:
latin1_swedish_ci.
5.) I wrote a simple insert form into my page and tried it
using both the content of the form field and a hardcoded string
value and even tried to read back the value of the
#FORM.special_char# variable. In each cases the special Hungarian
chars changed to "q" or "p" letters.
Can anybody see something wrong in the above mentioned or
have an idea to test something else?
I am thinking about to try this same page against a db on my
other hosting providers MySQL server.
Here is the to the form:
http://209.85.117.174/pages/proba/chartest/utf8_1/form.cfm
Thanks, Aron

Some keys are typing alt characters. Help!!

Hey guys,
My Macbook's keyboard has been acting extremely funky this past week. The primary issue deals with the "h" typing "˙" (it doesn't help now that the key is hanging off one hinge. I accidentally chipped one of hinges in my cleaning attempt) and occasionally some keys on typing their respective alt characters. Also, when I type some keys it mutes my speakers. Looking at the virtual keyboard viewer, I press the left option key and the "h" key appears in grey. But when pressing the right option key it does not.
I've checked under "Language & Text" and "Speech" and everything appears to be fine. I have ran the typical Disk Utility functions and SMC reset to no avail. Also, I can't even run a PRAM reset!! It doesn't help that I am no longer under warranty. If anyone can help please let me know!!!!
FYI I am using a MB403LL/A model running on 10.6.8.

It sounds like a hardware issue -- failing keyboard -- to me.

When executing a script including special french characters with SQL*Plus (or with a job of Cloud Control) the result in the database shows up wrong:
e.g. FR R�au instead of FR Réseau
When checking the HEX-code of the special french characters in the script these are correct:
é => E9
Setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to FRENCH_FRANCE.UTF8 before executing the script does not make any difference at all.
When checking the sign � in the string FR R�au with the dump function of SQL*Plus I get this result:
Typ=1 Len=3 CharacterSet=UTF8: e9,73,65
Seems to be OK - but why does it get displayed wrong? Is the client - in our case a application - responsible for the "how to display"?
Any help will be appreciated!

Hi,
If you have My Oracle support access I suggest to check one of following two documents:
Oracle Metalink: The correct NLS_LANG in a Windows Environment Doc ID: 179133.1
Oracle Metalink: The correct NLS_LANG setting in Unix Environments Doc ID: 264157.1
depending your env.
Check your data using SQL Developer and see if it displays well. If yes your data is ok in db.

How to escape special xml characters in ALSB

Hi
Can some one tell me how to replace special xml characters < ,> with < and >
I have xml node like below
<payload>
<RatingDetails>
<Action>Add</Action>
</payload>
Using fn-bea:serialize i got xml string as
<payload><RatingDetails><Action>Add</Action></payload>
I want output as below
<payload><RatingDetails><Action>Add</Action></payload>
Appreciate your help
Thanks in Advance

when i use fn-bea:serialize my request xml node converted to xml string.To that string i had escaped special xml characters.
Original request:
<abc>
<a1 >123</a1>
<payload>
<d>345</d>
<e><678></e>
</payload>
</abc>
After using serialize it became as below (everything in one line)
<abc><a1>123</a1><payload><d>345</d><e><678></e></payload></abc>
then i used java callout for replacing special xml chars in payload element,
now my request is
<abc><a1>123</a1><payload><![CDATA[& lt;d& gt;345& lt;/d& gt;& lt;e& gt;& lt;678& gt;& lt;/e& gt;]]></payload></abc>
i dont want my payload data to be enclosed within CDATA but by default i am getting it when i run my xquery for generating request.
This might be because & will not get parsed in xml parser so enclosing evrything in CDATA.
Need solution to remove CDATA and send the payload data as it is..
