10g won't recognize ellipsis and other special characters.

I'm trying to insert data into both VARCHAR2 and CLOB columns that contains characters such as ellipsis and other special characters. Oracle doesn't recognize the characters and just converts it to garbage. Is there a way to make Oracle easily recognize these characters?
For example, it won't recognize the following ellipsis in the string:
"Here we are … right now."

My bad...I did look at the national character set instead.
When I performed theq query you posted, I got the following:
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
I hope this new information helps. Also, the tool involved is SQL *Plus, but I'm currently concentrated on getting the insert to work via JDBC. Thanks in advance.

E72: Swedish and other special characters not work...

When I send mail through MfE, swedish and other special characters do not reach the recipient, they are just ignored. No blanks or nothing. Every word with a swedish character ends up one letter short.
Before the firmware upgrade this was intermittent, happening only on about half of my mails.
Now I upgraded yesterday, and it seems the problem is now permanent.
Have seen similar posts from E75 and E90 owners, their problems seem to have been fixed by newer firmware.
Our setup is: Exchange 2003, Portwise authentication.
All other phone models work fine, like iPhone, E71 etc.
/Sebastian

After some testing I found out that if I use swedish chars in the subject line, it works fine. Even in the mail body.
If I don't use swedish chars in the subject, they won't work in the body. I either get garbage or nothing where the swedish chars should be.
The problem doesn't exist at all in my private IMAP mail account.
Could someone who uses Mail for Exchange and have special chars in their alphabet (swedish, finnish, german, hungarian etc) pls tell me how it's working out for you?

Capturing returns and other special characters

Greetings,
I'm curious to know what is 'normally' done to capture
returns and other special characters from textareas. I want my user
to be able to insert 'control' characters into the text area to
allow them to provide some structure to the information they're
entering. At the moment, I'm processing the text char by char and
working out if it's an 'enter' or whatever, then appending a
'<br />' to the string before I store it and so on.
Is there a more established way to do this sort of
thing?

Use the replace function to replace either chr(10) or chr(13)
with a break tag. It's using cold fusion functions to accomplish
the same thing you appear to be doing manually.

Storing carriage return and other special characters in a TestStand variable and passing to LabVIEW

I am using TestStand step to call a LabVIEW VI that writes commands to a serial device. The device expects a carriage return at the end of the command. I can create a constant string in TestStand with the carriage return, e.g., "ATA\x0D" and pass that to a LabVIEW string control which shows ATA\r and the VI works properly.
To provide consistency and flexibility in my code, I want to store the terminator character(s) in a TestStand variable. However, when I try to use an expression to create the command string, i.e. "ATA" + "Locals.Terminator", where Locals.Terminator is set to "\x0D", my LabVIEW VI string control shows "ATA\\x0D" which doesn't work. And when I try Locals.Terminator set to "\r", the LabVIEW string control shows "ATA\\r" which doesn't work either.
Is there a way to store special characters in a TestStand variable and pass them to LabVIEW as special characters? I saw in another post that if you edit the TestStand variable by pressing Cntl-Enter, it will store the newline \n properly and it can be sent to LabVIEW - that works for me as well for \n. But I need to send a carriage return.
I've attached my test sequence and the corresponding LabVIEW VI with a string control.

Hi Hans,
Thanks for your detailed explanation and examples. In TestStand, change the String parameter's String Type to Binary String instead of ASCII. Then it will pass the desired value.

LAMBDA and other SPECIAL CHARACTERS

Hello,
Does someone know how to put in a lambda character? I have Framemaker 7.0 and the document I'm working on is non-structured. OS is Win XP Pro. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Hi Bear,
You could also try using the Equations pallete to insert the lambda symbol in para text. Here are the steps you could try:
1. Place the cursor where you want to insert the character.
2. Select Special > Equations
3. From the Equations drop-down list, select New Small eqaution. An Eq frame is added with a ? mark.
4. Click the lambda symbol from the buttons in the Equations palette. ? is replaced by the lambda symbol.
5. Shrinkwrap the equation shortcut Esc m p.
This should insert just the lambda character inline with the para text.
Hope this helps.

Thank you both for replies ....
Since these urls are generated through code, what is the best way to go about it ?
Could you please explain a little about using of hash map in this case?
and excpet using escape characters, is there any other way to do it ?
Thanks again

PekWM won't display kana and other foreign characters.

Just getting to grips with PekWM, got it set up exactly the way I want, except that the fonts I have installed for Japanese/Chinese/Korean text don't show up in the title bar at all. Instead I just see tall rectangles. Metacity and Kwin both pick up on this automatically- is there some sort of configuration or option I just can't find? Thank you in advance for reading or replying to this issue.

I think you need to edit your theme to use your preferred unicode font ; see the PekWM FAQ for more info http://www.pekwm.org/files/pekwm/doc/0. … l#FAQ-1546

Getting rid of single quotes and other bad characters

Hello All-
I am writing a servlet that takes a value from a form, and saves it to a database. However, when single quotes, and other illegal characters are entered, i get all sorts of errors. I am certain their is some function that would take care of all of this.
Help!

Hi there,
When you try to insert single quotes into the database it gives an error or problem because a single quote is a reserved character in the database.
If you want to store a single quote or any other character that is reserved in the database then you need to find out how to escape that reserved character.
One option is to use the single quote twice, so instead of ' , use '' (not double quote but , type single quote twice).
Another option is to use HTML entity code for single quote

Itunes won't recognize ipod and videos gone

I have a 30GB Video Ipod and itunes won't recognize it. I have to keep putting the music files back in and converting them. Also the Movie and TV Shows I bought disappeared. I have a Windows XP Home Edition, and itunes 7. I downloaded itunes about 4 or 5 months ago, it that helps. My ipod shows up in my computer though. I want to know:
1. How can I get itunes to recognize my ipod
2. How do I get itunes to keep and remember my files
3. How do I get my videos back?
4. Which version of itunes should I get and how do I get it?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This article addresses both error messages...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
As for the iPod not turning off. Try resetting...

After you reset it, wait about a minute and then try turning it off.
