Adding symbols to special characters

Hi there!
I was wondering is there any possibilities to edit the existing special characters? I have a logo what I want to use in text and the easiest way would be if I could add it to the special characters library.
Thank You for your help!
Laszlo

Special characters reflects what is contained in the fonts installed on the machine. To have your logo in it, you would need to create a font with the logo as one of the characters. Font creation is not a simple task and probably not worth the trouble for your purpose. Fontforge is a free app which can be used if you want to try.

XmlSaveDom unresolved symbol, and special characters in output...

I have a couple of issues with XmlSaveDom() that I'm hoping someone can help with...
Firstly, under windows I'm having difficulty locating the library that it lives in. I'm linking to:
oraxml10.lib (from the 10.1.0.2 XDK, the latest version I can find) and oci.lib (from the 10.2 client)...but getting an unresolved symbol on XMLSaveDom().
I'm using the XDK because under windows I only have a client install which does not appear to have any of the XML headers or libraries in it. I'm using
10.1.0.2 because it's the latest version I can find to download from technet.
Secondly, under Solaris I'm just linking to libclntsh.so from 10.1.0.2 server home, and this resolves XMLSaveDom() ok. However when I use XMLSaveDom() I find unusual special characters in the output periodically:
ÿ¾Ý <SOME_TAG>some_value</SOME_TAG>
The strange character sequence is always the same.
Any help with either of these would be greatly appreciated.

The DOM is not required to escape the characters, so it is correct that you get the literal ampersand characters when you ask the DOM for a getNodeValue().
When an XML document is serialized -- using, for example, the XMLDocument.print() method -- it is when this external form of the document is produced that escaping occurs.
You can always call XMLNode.print() to serialize the value of a node and it's children into a PrintWriter that wraps a StringWriter to get the string equivalent of the properly escaped values.

Adding users with special characters results in error

Hi all,
I know it is not best practice to implement a Active Directory with user names containing special characters.
Unfortunately, we come across some sites that do have these special characters in their user names.
So, maybe it is a reason to tell the customer to reevaluate their naming policy, but in some cases this is
just not possible / desirable. What we see when you try to add a user in the Sun VDI portal (1801) with
a special character in his or her name, the VDI Portal goes back to the main login screen of the portal and
displays an error:
Internal Error Occurred!
You have been logged out because a consistent response could not be guaranteed.
If the error continues to occur, contact your local technical support and provide .....
Does anyone know a workaround / fix for this.
We are running Sun VDI 3.1 Revenue Release.
Kind regards,
Sander

Certain special characters do not display correctly in Firefox ( font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3" ¬ /font ). Is there a fix?

Certain special characters which display correctly in Explorer do not display correctly in Firefox. Example: <font COLOR="#1f1a17" FACE="Symbol" SIZE="3">¬</font>
Is there a fix?

The symbol font usually doesn't work in Firefox, a website needs to use an Unicode replacement or an HTML entity to specify such a character.

Print preview for the special characters / symbols

While displaying print preview / taking print output using QGA3 Transaction with developed Z SAPScript form specified as one of the parameters(say for example ZARMEXP), the special characters / symbols like u2018∆u2019 are displayed as u2018#u2019 in the print preview / print output . Of course similar problem had existed for Lambda Symbol u2018u03BBu2019., but it was resolved by using the font type Helve_I7. But for the symbol u2018∆u2019 we checked with almost all the fonts that were available in the system, but of not much use. Hence could you kindly provide us solution(s) that would resolve this issue.

Adding New Special Characters

I hope I'm posting this in the right category, but I would like to know how do I add more characters to the "Special Characters" category? I have a couple of Apple icons that I've found in the system and would like to add them but I've drilled down everywhere there is and still haven't been able to do that. Would someone please show me the way?
Thanks,
RB

This may be obvious to others, but it's not clear to me where you see the "Special Characters" category.
Have you looked for those "Apple icons" in any of the fonts such as "Webdings", "Wingdings", "Wingdings 2", "Wingdings 3", "Zapf Dingbats", or "Apple Symbols"? (I found those fonts using the Font Book application in the "Computer" collection.
If your icons aren't in any existing font, it may be that the only way to accomplish what you want is to create a new font to contain those symbols, which may not be a trivial exercise.

Problem in reading special characters � Microsoft symbols.

Hi All,
I have a text field where user can enter some string and search. Unusually/unfortunately users can copy/paste text from ms-word file and search for that entry in the database. Here they can even copy ms-word special symbols such as ellipsis (�), em dash(�), en dash(�). Since database has such (special character) entries we cannot restrict them from doing this (after all that is the requirement).
Now the problem is when I read the text value in servlet/jsp I find that those special characters are replaced by question marks(?). Because of this database return �no rows found� though there are entries.
What I have observed is when I read the ASCII value � (int)char I am able to get proper value. Using that I am having if else block to replace the question marks with proper symbols. But is there a direct way to do this? I even tried converting the string to another character set type string. But no luck.
(Also when I print the text value to a JSP, I can see proper vales through Internet Browser.)
Below is the sample program(read_n_print.jsp), sysout prints question marks in console, but JSP/HTML shows proper value in browser.
<html>
<%
     String value = request.getParameter("special_text");
     System.out.println("value " + value);
     if(value != null){
          byte[] bytes= value.getBytes();
          try {
               String output = new String(bytes,"ISO-8859-1");
               System.out.println("output " + output);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
%>
<head>
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="./read_n_print.jsp">
<input type="text" name="special_text" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Go" > <br>
<font size="8">Value entered is <%= value %></font>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hi DrClap,
Thanks for your reply.
That article was helpful in understanding character conversions. And it works fine for JSPs.
But when I tried to apply the same in JSF it does not work. May be this is not the right forum to dicuss JSF related things. But if you know how pageEncoding and contentType can be mentioned in JSF. I am using myfaces and I have tried <h:form id="SearchForm" acceptCharset="UTF-8" accept="text/html;charset=UTF-8">. Didnt work....

Hi,
I hope this depends on the printer settings.
Check whether your printer could support these characters or not!
Thanks and Best Regards,
