Specials characters in navigation menu

I have a site host at MobileMe made with iWeb 08. In my navigation menu I have a word written in my language (Portuguese) which has a non english letter " ç " . It has no problem at all in directing and opening the needed page but I am moving this same site to another Host (Host Excellence) and there I had to take that letter out if I want it working. The same letter used in Text Boxes has no problems. It shows perfectly. Another non-english signs in letters " í " (we called it accent) used in a HTML Snipet, shows different in Firefox.
Does anybody has a clue to solve it ?
Thanks.

"MobileMe has not problem with non-ascii filenames, but some servers have problems with them."
Thanks for that information. I didn't know that.
But unfortunatly Cyberduck is the one I use. I have just found the solution for those letters used in the HTML Snipets. There are several sites over the internet informing HTML codes that "writes" these special characters, like:
http://www.utexas.edu/learn/html/spchar.html
http://www.degraeve.com/reference/specialcharacters.php
http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/Special_Characters
In the snipet I had just to use the codes instead of the "real" letter.
But at the navigation menu, as I don't have access to "codes" I don't know how to solve.
I was thinking in not use the "pre formated" of iWeb and instead of it, write my own.

I have a MacBook purchased in 2009 with Snow Leopard. I tried to access "special characters" from the Finder menu and an intermittent blank pop ups and will not stop. It also happens when I run Word or Pages.

The blank pop up began as I tried to access "special characters" from the finder menu. I restarted, turned off and restarted and it did not work. It interferes with any application because I cannot work fast. Every new step takes a few seconds longer such as saving, finding text, check spelling and many more. I am desperate to solve this. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Can't open "special characters" in any Edit menu; have a constantly flashing empty window labelled 'characters' that i can't stop. window flashes then disappears every time i click on anything. any suggestions? tru thanx !

I, too, have found Bridge very unstable. I find this to be extremely disappointing, seeing as it's literally the most expensive piece of software I've ever purchased for personal use. I've seen these two symptoms:
1. When running in full screen mode, Bridge crashes periodically. This happened on Vista, so I blamed Vista (of course), but even after regressing to XP SP2, I see the same symptoms.
2. Although I didn't see this on Vista, running on XP I see the problem described earlier in this thread, where clicking on a thumbnail displays the wrong image preview. When this happens the image displayed is one from a different folder! I solve the problem by clearing the cache, and it's OK for a while, but the problem keeps returning.
3. Even when exiting cleanly from Bridge (using File->Exit), Bridge often forgets where I was working in my previous session. I need to re-navigate from the very top level directory down through the hierarchy to my photo directory.
Again, it's very disappointing to invest so much in a single software package only to see such basic operations malfunction.

Edit menu and special characters

With Maverick the iWorks apps were upgraded. I noticed that in iNumbers going to the edit menu and pulling up special characters draws a blank.
In iPages and iText all works as expected (I have not tried Keynote), the favorite characters window appears at the cursor position.
A general work around is to use the 'Show Character Viewer' from the top menu bar.
I wonder, is that a feature of iNumbers'09 version 2.3 (554), or is there a hanging cache file, which should be deleted.
Thanks

Thanks, I tried more and here is what I found.
opening a Numbers file, selecting a field without seeing an input cursor and selecting special characters from the edit menu or keyboard shortcut, nothing happens. The special character window does not show, but the system thinks the window is there (the keyboard viewer is set to 'Hide Character Viewer'). In this situation, even with an input field having a cursor the popup window of the favorite characters will not show when requested.
After clicking in the keyboard viewer 'Hide Character Viewer', it works fine: at the input cursor the popup window
comes up.
At two different Macs this behavior is reproducible.
The special characters pane is not showing up if in a selected field the cursor is not set! That confused me.
Only once and I could not reproduce it, the whole special character pane came up when clicking the edit -> menu -> special Characters.

Dealing with special characters in PHP part deux

Something else is confusing me about special characters. I am doing some troubleshooting/maintenaince on my files. On one files I have my navigation bar on a separte file and use the include function to use it.
For the other file, I took the include out and just copy and pasted what was in the inculde file directly on to the file.
The words that contain special characters in the include appear funny in the browser. However the menu that is not included (but copied from the include) appears normal.
Any thoughts?
One is copied and pasted from the other, yet the look different

Sorry, my head's been swimming today:
Here is the include file (minus much of the list)

And the above include is put in here:

Also, all I did to copy and paste this was hit ctrl A and crtl C on the sidebar include page, and ctrl V on the file below.

Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
- Example 1:
[http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
- Example 2:
[http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
Thank you for reading! Please help!

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica<br><font face="Helvetica" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font><br>
Helvetica Neue<br><font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</font>
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page.<br />
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

There are a set of characters / icons /symbols that can be included in Script , for that open a window in edit mode and in the menu there will be an option called Insert , here you can find a lot of characters/symbols that can be included .

How can I enter special characters in a text title?

Hello to all!
Have been trying to get in a special character [the tick mark] onto a text title on my current project. Had gone to the special character option under EDIT menu, and added the desired special character to the 'favourite' list, but after that I do not know how to move ahead. Would like help.
Thanks to all.
Dr. Somanna

Thank you for your reply.
However I am afraid that neither double click nor drag/drop is adding the character to the text.
Is there any other method to get special characters into FCPX?

Special characters in Web Services

I have developed a Web Service in Java using JBuilder 2005 and deployed it on BEA Weblogic 8.1 SP5. Weblogic is configured to use the ISO-8859-1 encoding as well as JBuilder. I am living in South Africa and we need to cater for special characters. A typical test string is "MOK�ENA��A".
I have also developed a little test class to test this Web Service. The only parameter is a String type and it returns a String type. This String type must be able to handle special characters.
I understand that the String in Java is unicode with no encoding. How do I pass a string containing special characters to this web service. I am getting the error "SOAP Fault:javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: Internal Error: unable to process your request: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? - with nested exception:
[weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? - with nested exception:
[java.io.CharConversionException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing?]]" .
Currently I am converting the string to a byte[] array and encode it with the .getBytes("ISO-8859-1") method of the String class and replace the String parameter in the Web Service with a byte[] type. This results in a longer than needed parameter that needs to go over the wire.
I want to do it the wright way using string type if possible.
What is the correct way of dealing with this special characters.
Regards

In theory you should be able to enter them via a special small pop up window. In System Preferences -> Keyboard -> and you can switch to show keyboard layout and such in the menu bar (assuming you're running SL).
Then you can open a glyphs window accessing all possible unicode characters:

Problems with special characters like "u00F6" "u00E4" "u00FC"

Hi,
we currently face some major problems with special characters like "ö" "ä" "ü". First I thought it is a SP02 specific problem but it still doesn't work with SP03.
When I start an import the import manager shows correct converted value. "ö"s "ä"s "ü"s are displayed correctly. But after I've done the import I look into the Data manager and I see instead of these characters charcaters like "̈". (note: the character should show a little square box - but the forum cannot desplay it)
How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Nico

Hi Nico
Just try it out the following steps, hope it solves ur issue.
<b>To set one or more values back to their original values:</b>
1. In the Import Manager Source Values grid, select the values that you want to set back to their original values.
2. Right-click on one of the values and choose Set to Original Value from the context menu, or choose Values > Apply Value Conversion Filter > Set to Original Value from the main menu.
3. MDME sets each value back to its original value, which appears in black in the Source Values grid.
<b>NOTE : You can use the Set to Original Value filter only at the value-level and not at the field level.</b>
thanks

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.

Preview typing special characters only

I'm having troubling typing text w/ Preview.
When I try to type, it only types special characters. I'm thinking if I accidently used some shortcut combination to type special characters.
It is not letting me type normal language at all now. Does anyone have any idea?
If there is a way to uninstall preview and reinstall, would anyone let me know? Thanks!!!

Why is everyone going on about the Character Pallette when most of the required symbols are available from the keyboard?
Using the option key, these are the standard symbols for US and UK keyboards (lower case followed by upper case with the addition of the shift key) Starting with the numeric row;
¡€#¢∞§¶•ªº–≠
⁄™‹›ﬁﬂ‡°·‚—±
œ∑´®†¥¨^øπ“‘
Œ„‰ÂÊÁËÈØ∏”’
åß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬…æ«
ÅÍÎÏÌÓÔÒÚÆ»
`Ω≈ç√∫~µ≤≥÷
ŸÛÙÇ◊ıˆ˜¯˘¿
Enable the Keyboard viewer by checking 'show keyboard and character viewer in the menu bar' in System Preferences > Keyboard > keyboard tab.
Open the keyboard viewer from the flag menu and press the opt key - you'll see all the available symbols and accents. Some of them are highlighted in orange - these can be used with multiple letter combinations.
For instance, opt+e followed by e = é, opt+e followed by a = á, opt+u followed by o = ö.

Problem with special characters getting converted into '#' in portal

Hi All,
The special characters like " - ", " ' ", " ` ", are getting converted into '#' when the smartform is displayed in portal.
I have a smart form in which the text contains the above special characters and they are getting displayed as ' # ', when the form is invoked in portal. We are not able to trace the problem.
I need your input on this ASAP.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowmya

This could be caused by conversion routine on the field.
in sapscript, can use &FIELD-NAME(K)& to ignore conversion routine
To see this and other options, in text edit of script select menu option Insert>Symbols>New and then type field name and select desired check box options - field will be placed in script with relevant formatting characters
