Arabic Letters show up as Question Marks (???) whe...

Dear Fellows, I have three email accounts configured in my Nokia N8 (Hotmail, GMail, and OVI). The problem I face is that when I send any email with Arabic words (whether in subject or body), it is received as Question marks (???????). This problem occurs ONLY when sending by the HOTMAIL account; the other two accounts are fine.... I need help on this matter. Thanks & Regards, Yousef

Dear petrib, what you are saying is 100% right, but its also Nokia issue to fix the problem with Microsoft for their customers to be satisfied... the problem is not when using Windows Live through PCs, I have the problem in my Nokia device and i am trying to contact Nokia to solve it with Microsoft... Am I right ??

Arabic characters are displaying as question marks in forms 10g

We have migrated our application from forms 6i to forms 10g and now in forms 10g the arabic characters are displaying as question marks while it displays correctly in the old application using forms 6i. I have already set the character set to AR8MSWIN1256 in the registry, but it didn't help. Somebody please help.

@ Sarah, Al-Salamu Alikum We Rahmatu Allah we Barakatu,
Sarah Habibty, why new installation ? In order to select a new suitable character set !!!
Then creating a new instance from the db is a better alternative since it saves time,effort and another back up of his current db is exist safely if needed for any purposes in the future.
@Amer,honestly speaking...
Modifing ur NLS_LANG to > AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
Works for me in both Arabic and English data in 2 applications.This works in my pc.But it didn't works at my boss pc this can happened don't have any reason for that.!!!!
i spent lot's of time trying to search but what i had got is that solution i suggested by a friend of mine.
Now please could you advise me, is it better to create a new instance of database as Amatu Allah has suggested or is it better to change the character set through sql as some others have suggested? Again i suggest to select the short cut way ; to reset the character set through sql after taking a back up from ur data that is currently exist.
then retest again doing the select and test ur data input and retrieval.
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters
2 where parameter in ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');watching the output if it works that's fine saving ur time & effort .
if not working with the correct NLS_CHARACTERSET then use my previous solution.
Hope this helps...

Weblogic 12c Servlet Response - Special characters show up as question mark

My web app is running on Weblogic 12c (12.1.1) using WebWork + Hibernate. The program streams data (bytes making up a pdf) from a CLOB in an Oracle Database to the AsciiStream of the servlet output response. No exceptions are thrown, but the generated pdf contains blank pages. Comparing the bytes of the generated pdf, special characters are showing up as question marks.
Some of the bytes read in from the database contain 8 bits (correct data), but the bytes that the servlet return contain only 7 (all bytes with 8 bits become "1111111"). The number of bytes returned from the servlet is correct.
Code:
//Response is HttpServletResponse
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\"test.pdf\"");
out = response.getOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[16 * 1024];
InputStream in = clob.getAsciiStream();
int size = -1;
while ((size = in.read(buf)) != -1){
// buf contains the correct data
out.write(buf, 0, size);
// other exception handling code, etc
out.flush();
out.close();
"Correct" pdf byte example:
10011100
10011101
1010111
1001011
1101111
11011011
Incorrect pdf byte example:
111111
111111
1010111
1001011
1101111
111111
I have verified that the data read from the CLOB in the database IS correct. My guess is that the Weblogic server has some strange servlet settings that causes the bytes to be written to the servlet output stream incorrectly, or a character encoding issue. Any ideas?

Solution found, I'll post the work around to those who might encounter the same problem.
Somewhere in the layers of technology (webwork or weblogic I'd guess), the servlet response is encoded into UTF-8 regardless. The encoding in the database was ISO-8859-1. Sending ISO encoded bytes by UTF-8 caused the conflicting character codes (anything above 127) to show up as undefined.
The fix is to decode the input byte array into ISO-8859 string, then encode that string into UTF-8, which can be send by Weblogic.
isoConvert = new String(buf, "ISO-8859-1");
out.write(isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8"), 0, isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8").length);

A music file on my iWeb website shows as a question mark and won't play. Anyone know how I can fix this?

When I view the website using Firefox, it shows and plays beautifully. But, when I view it on Safari, there is a tiny question mark where the audio control should be, and no music plays. I'd really appreciate some help with this one.
Many thanks,

I just opened your site with Safari and on the Home page the music play straight away and then there is the player at the bottom right of the page which I can see with no problem at all.
Perhpas you need to empty your brower cache for it to display correctly - it seems to be working correctly for others here who have viewed it in Safari.
Check your preferences and perhaps clear your cookies and then empty your browser cache.

Safari not showing images as Question Marks

Hello Forum,
we have a strange behaviour from a shop website in Safari for Mac and Windows Platform.
It is a site with frames. When i click on the Categorie Nagivation it comes to situations when one of the frames reloads.
After this frame reload the pictures only show as question marks. When i click one of the images it will reload the pressed picture and shows it. The other ones remain as question marks.
The System Layout goes like this: Apache Server takes requests and redirects it to an application shop Server.
Most of the Images are on Apache, the top navigation with the problem comes from the application server.
Does anyone has a clue where to search for this problem?
Firefoy and IE don't have this problem.
Regards
Jannis
P.S. its the newest Version of Safari installed on Mac or on Windows.

Hi Carolyn,
thanks for your answer.
The setting is still checked in Apperances.
I tried to unckeck and check it again, but it woh't solve the problem.
What i think is, that Safari has a problem with our system design or with http headers he interprets in another way than other browsers.
What i found out too is, that there is Java Script. Are there differents how Safari interprets them?
Regards
Jannis

Topics with ampersands (&) show up as question marks (?) inside Help's Search tab

See the attached image.
In the image:
Item A shows the Topic Title inside RH.
Item B shows what I'm typing in the Search tab of the HTML Help file. (I'm typing "GD&T").
Item C shows the list results. Notice that when I type "GD&T" in the search tab, the results return "GD?" ion the list of results.
In short the "T" is missing and the ampersand character shows a question mark character instead.
How can I get it to show an ampersand in this list and not delete the letter following the ampersand.
Thanks in advance,
Jared
Latest RH7
Vista 32 bit.

Some co-workers of mine eventually helped fix this.
In the Topic Title field for topic titles that have the & symbol, you need to type & in place of just an & symbol. This causes the & to appear within the Search tab list results. Note however that if you add this topic onto the Table of Contents, it will display & there, so you will need to rename the TOC to just use &.

Iphone 6 emoticons showing up as question marks

My iphone 6 is not showing emoticons in text messages, they are coming up as question marks. The messages are coming from an IPhone 4s to my 6, the IPhone 4s did the update for IOS and that has still not remedied the issue. I should also note that I can see and use emoticons in imessages. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

I have been on chat with Quicken Support 3 times - each time, Quicken says that it isn't "their fault." But, I think, in fact, it is their fault. So I won't bug you any more. But in a nut shell, they have a built in PDF converter (from Amyuni) that has a copyright of 2008 in Quicken 2012. This is used to save the invoices as PDFs to a folder on your hard drive. Then you send that attachment to the client using email,. What I was told to do (in such broken English as to practically be incomprehensible), was open the file and SAVE AS - which will do so using the latest Adobe software that I have on my computer. If this works (I just sent a test off to one of my clients), then I will have to do two steps on every invoice in order to assure that it can be seen correctly.

Documents in my dock are showing up as question marks and I cannot open... please help!!

I save several excel documents on my dock. Today I went to open one of the documents and the files were showing up in my dock as gray question marks. I am unable to open the documents or find them anywhere else on my computer! Please help!!

That may result in losing Dock icons for the Office applications (don't know why it should?) but shouldn't cause document icons in the Dock to disappear.

HELP -- KEEP LOOSING PICTURES -- after loading show up w/ question mark

Anyone ??!!
I have worked on this document for over 100 hours and made several saves in between, but keep loosing pictures all the time?
Lay-out stays OK, but the locations for many of the pics are indicated with gray squares and question marks!!
Is Pages unable to handle Larger docs with many pics? (I have already split into 2 docs of 27 pages, but problem remains)
PLEASE ANYONE?

Hello Robert,
your documents are really huge. Are the files so big or are they so manyfold? If you have the possibility (with Preview or better with Photoshop/Gimp/Seashore) you should save the images with as low size as possible. Do you want to print the portfolio or it is for screen presentation only?
To see if there is a problem with Pages or with the images, you should have a look inside the docuemnt package folder. To do so, do a control-click onto the document icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the appearing menu. In the new Finder window you can see all the files your Pages document contains. If you can find the images there about which Pages wrote it is missing, try to open some of them in am image editor to see if they are broken.
If you can open them, they are okay. I think the images are made with an digital camera. Of what resolution are the images? If you need the portfolio for screen purposes only, you can calculate them down to 92dpi and a proper pixel count (for smaller display ca. 800 to 600 pixel and for larger display ca. 1280 x 960 pixel). This depends on your own likeness. I only want to give you a guess.
