Broken Korean Characters

This is topic that was posted before. and it is on going..
Garbled foreign language in iPhone e-mail.. on both MobileMe and Gmail (gmail seemed to be more friendly)
It is hard to pin point what the issue is.. What I been getting is that I have to ask the sender to send it in right code?? I hope there is something I can do at recipient side. On my Mac's Mail App, I do have the option to encode the text by going into messages - text encode. But not on iPhone..
Here are some tricks that work.. not all the time
1) forward the garbled e-mail back to me again.
2) Open the same e-mail via Web browser on Mac - via www.me.com - not OS X Mail Apps
But I do not have access to a desk top/lap top Mac... the whole point of iPhone is getting mobile email..
Here is scenario...
1) Hotmail to MobileMe -
Mail app: Korean Text is almost all the time broken. Changing Message - Txt Encoding does not work.
iPhone: Korean Text is almost all the time broken.
MobileMe via web: OK.
Forward the same email back to MobileMe: No Good
2) Yahoo to MobleMe: Usually Ok..
Anyone has any insight -??

If Yahoo works ok and Hotmail doesn't, then my conclusion would be that Hotmail is defective. That doesn't surprise me. In general I have found that there are no guarantees that using such services for non-Roman scripts will work perfectly with every platform and app, with Hotmail being the worst. You might want to provide your test info to Hotmail so they can make their service as good as Yahoo.
Perhaps the new iphone OS will allow the development of email clients with more flexibility and settings so users can compensate for the various differences among email services and sending apps.

Broken korean characters while using utl_file.fopen

Hi,
I have korean data in a table and I need to extract it out.
Am using utl_file.fopen for this. It extracts, but korean characters are coming broken...
Is there some setting (NLS_LANG etc) that I need to do? I tried NLS_LANG korean_korea.KO16KSC5601 but didn't help...
Thanks,
Sachin

Corrupted korean characters

Iam not able to save korean characters in database.
1.I was using korean characters in a database. The korean characters were saved in fields of type varchar/nvarchar2.
2.Due to some reason the server is restarted and now Iam not able to enter new korean characters.
3.The korean characters which are already entered in the fleld of type varchar is corrupted and the korean characters which were entered in the field of type nvarchar2 is not corrupted.
4.But Iam not able to enter new korean characters in fields of both types(varchar/nvarchar2)
Some NLS_Database_parameters:
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE:AMERICAN; NLS_SORT:BINARY; NLS_CHARACTERSET:WE8ISO8859P1 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET:AL16UTF16; NLS_LANGUAGE:AMERICAN; NLS_TERRITORY:AMERICA
Note that I was able to save Korean characters earlier and after server restart Iam not able to save it now.
What could be the possible problem??

That is HIGHLY unsupported in any modern version of the database. It may appear to work, but there are any number of things that might be broken.
If this is anything other than a toy database, I would strongly advise you to
1) Retain the backup from before you did this, assuming there is other data in this database you care about
2) Create a new database, with the proper character set, and do an export and import from this database to the new one. That should minimize the risk of things going wrong down the line.
In the future, you should not be updating any table in the SYS schema without being explicitly told to do so by someone from Oracle Support.

How do I get the keyboard viewer to display Korean characters

I am trying to set up my Mac so that I can type in Korean. I followed the instructions here: http://www.foolsworkshop.com/120b/koreanmac.html.
After adding all the Hangul input methods under the International control panel, I have the flag language menu on the menu bar that lets me switch between typing in English and Korean.
So far so good, but now I'd like to see a layout of where the Hangul characters are on the keyboard, so that I don't have to guess. The above link says that I can see this by selecting Show Keyboard Window from the language menu. If I select this, however, it brings up a picture of a keyboard with Roman characters on the keys. How do I get it to display a picture of a keyboard with Korean characters?

Bleech. That's exactly the kind of unpolished UI sloppiness that Apple makes such a big deal about not having. I think the dorky-but-lovable PC guy from the TV ads gets a pass to chew out the insufferably smug Mac hipster guy in Korean.
Seriously, though, I tried that and it works. Thanks for the tip.

Chinese and Korean characters not displaying in navigation pane

I have an issue with Chinese and Korean characters not displaying on the tabs in the navigation pane:
I have 2 RoboHelp projects (using RoboHelp 8 with the updates installed) to generate WebHelp, one in Simplified Chinese, the other Korean. The HTML files, .HHC and .HHK were sent out for translations. I have set the appropriate language in the project settings, everything almost works, except for the text on the Contents, Index, and Search tabs. (I'm not using a skin.) I have read in various threads that the lng file should be edited using the RoboHelp interface, and this seems to be the crux of the problem. The characters do not display correctly through the RoboHelp UI.
The computer on which I generate the WebHelp is Windows Server 2003, and I do not have the language packs installed. (And am having problems getting hold of the language packs to install to see if this fixes the problem.)
Aside from installing the language packs, is there anything else I can try to help resolve the problem? (The characters in the content are displaying as expected.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Perhaps something in the Translation Info section of this page might help? (The specifics are for Japanese, but I believe the issue would apply to all double-byte languages).

Can't see Korean characters properly in text messages after latest update

Pretty simple, Korean characters used to work on my Q10 (being able to see them), but now after the latest update, they show up as half Chinese characters and completely garbled and unreadable.
This has basically made my Q10 useless to me, and I've moved back to my Galaxy S3. While I love my Q10 and BlackBerry, all of the bugs I've encountered has sort of made me... well, not happy.
Is there any chance this particular issue is going to get fixed?
Thanks.

Just as additional information: moving my SIM card to a different phone and recieving the exact same text works on other phones, so it's definitely the Q10 and latest update (as I never had an issue previously with it).

Reports Builder - problem displaying Korean characters

Client-server setup (database 10G unicode AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, client Windows XP AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and users have no trouble viewing characters in the application using forms.
But running the reports through Reports Builder creates inverted question marks instead of Korean characters. The reports are not displayed on the screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.
My question:
1. Is Reports Builder Unicode compliant?
2. If yes - where and how do we set up the correct NLS_LANG?
3. If not - what is the solution?
Thanks, Veronika

But running the reports through Reports Builder
creates inverted question marks instead of Korean
characters. The reports are not displayed on the
screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.Is the Windows where you run Reports Builder Korean? What is the Windows Code page (ACP)?
What version of Reports Builder / Developer Suite?
You are not running the same report through a Reports server?
In a general sense, for oci apps, there's a conversion from database character set to client character set when retrieving the data (to match client environment/locale), and likewise a conversion to the database character set when storing character data.
With Korean (Hangul) characters in the db, these characters should be converted to replacement character such as inverted question mark (¿) when retrieved to a client with character set Latin-1 (iso 8859-1) - since its repertoire includes no Korean characters.
So, if the client side os is code page 949, you could try indicating a client character set of KO16MSWIN949. (You could try also by "lying" if the code page is different, but then you need to take care to set NLS_LANG as needed as it might affect other apps.)

Itunes can't read korean characters since switching to google chrome

I switched to google chrome and for some reason every song with Korean hangul characters on my itunes turns into square boxes. I have songs with Japanese kanji on my itunes but I see them perfectly, it's only Korean characters.
This happened before but I switched back to firefox (which solved the problem). I really don't wanna go back to firefox though...is there any way to fix this?

Eduardo Kim hello,
If you select the iTunes Icon in your applications folder and get info you will see the Languages tab check and see what is available... to get the correct Korean version as there is more than one start system preferences and choose international > languages... use the help files to find what you need to know by clicking on the Question mark...
Take care Eduardo ... TP

Korean characters in my iphone

For some reason when I reset my iphone Korean characters appear when I specified that Im in the US and wanted english. They only come out in the itunes and apps icons. Does anyone know how to get rid of them cause I don't speak and understand Korean. Truly appreciated it.

Hello joeincal,
While your phone may be set for a U.S. locale, it may be that the language has somehow been set to Korean.

Korean characters not displaying on itunes

I transferred my korean music to my macbook from windows computer...In my folder or file, it shows in Korean perfectly fine with no gibberish language. However, when I open them in itunes, in itunes a couple of the songs do not display in the korean characters..instead it shows in gibberish and I don't know how to fix this. Do i have to individually change the songs that are like that ? Not every song is like this. Majority of my songs are fine showing in korean language properly in itunes, but only a select number don't...Please tell me how to fix this. I already tried the ID3 Tags and REverse Unicode. Any other options??

Everything depends on your NLS parameters. If I do this on Oracle 11g I get:
select chr(203) from dual;

Korean characters displays properly in application, but not saved in DB properly

Korean characters are retrieved and displayed properly in VB6 application. But upon record insertion, it is not properly saved. See below before and after screenshots.
Retrieval and display of original record

We have tried with setting of "keeporgmultibyte", "set char_convert off", "ODBC User Specified Character Set cp850", unfortunately nothing worked.
Please see below for details of our ASE.

I don't have any direct experience configuring ASE for use with Korean text, however cp850 seems like an odd choice for Korean. I would expect utf8 (particularly if data in other languages were being stored as well) or cp949. Korean Character Set.
I don't think version has anything to do with your issue, but why on earth would you still be running on 12.5.4?

Korean characters in XML

Hi All,
Actully am facing probelm when creating XML with korean language characters. Those characters are converted to some junk characters.
Editor which is used to open the XML is supporting for korean languages.
With that XML file am creating PDF by using FOP 0.93. So all the junk characters are reflected in PDF. To display multi lingual characters in the PDF am using ArialUni code in xsl. Am configuring this to FOP.
Still am unable to get korean characters properly.
while creating XML, whether we need to specify any encoding type for output stream, then where I have to mention that.
for creation of tag am using the following statements.
transformerHandler.startElement("","",tempFieldName,attributes);
transformerHandler.characters(tempFieldValue.toCharArray(),0,tempFieldValue.length());
transformerHandler.endElement("","",tempFieldName);
I think the problem is at the time of creating tag, am calling to toCharArray() method, may be this is the problem
Please help me to get it resolve

The best thing is to use UTF-8 or UTF-16 as your encoding. To cause an encoding to be used, the best way is to use an OutputStreamWriter:OutputStream = // wherever you are writing your XML to
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(yourOutputStream, "UTF-8");and then write your data to that Writer.

Problem in storing korean Characters in Oracle 10g

Hi All,
Below are the current setup.
OS : Windows
Oracle Version : 10G
Database Character Set : AL32UTF8
NLS_LANG = KOREAN_KOREA.KO16MSWIN949 (in windows)
I can able to see Korean characters in MS Word & MS Excel. I copied some of the korean characters
and pasted in notepad and saved the file in UTF format. I tried to insert that data using sql loader.
After inserting the data, I could find only unknown characters with lots of ??? symbol. I have also
changed the data fonts to korean language in TOAD. But I can find only non-korean characters in
the table.
Please advise me, whether any other settings to be changed or provide step-by-step procedure to store
the korean data in database.
Regards,
Ramesh

Displaying Korean Characters on my jsp

I would like to display korean characters in my jsp....the characters that i want to display are read from an xml file using the sax parser... how will i do this?

Case 1 - In a JSP only.
In a JSP you need to set the following and it will display your respective charset. Substitute xxx for your required character set.
<%response.setContentType="charset=xxx"%>.
Case 2 - In an XML file and JSP
If you have an XML file, be sure to define the encoding. Be sure to change the encoding to your Korean charset.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
You will the need to write an XSL which you can apply to your XML file using Xalan and output the resulting HTML in a JSP. I assume your user-agent will be a web browser, although you can use WML, cHTML and VoXML or even another XML file.
