Cant type certain kind of letters or special characters on PS

Can you guys please tell me, why I can´t write certain special characters in PS, like " - ; \ ~ " and other special characters like that? I usually could but now i can´t and its stressfull!!
PS
Its not the font problem...

Are you getting nothing at all, or the wrong characters when you enter these symbols?
If they're coming up wrong (i.e. you type one thing but another appears on screen), check Windows to see if your keyboard has been switched to another language. I'm not that familiar with multiple language support, but I believe there are key sequences that will cause the keyboard mapping to switch.

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:
⠫⠳⠭⠹㉢㈚↳↬ ䷑䷪䷬䷜

Jar (or Zip) file with problems in accents, special characters

Hi! I've a servlet that creates a jar (or zip) file and then send it. My problem is that when I create an entry in which the filename has special characters such as accents, when I unjar or unzip de file, it brings a lot of garbage characters. For example, the nex entry:
Ex�menes.doc
when unzipped is:
Ex?�menes.doc
I've tried a lot of things:
-Setting the locale to ES, MX
-Replacing all the letters with special characters with its unicode (like s.replace('�','\u00E1')
-Trying to convert it to UTF8 (new String(path.getBytes(),"UTF8") )
-Replacing the file separator char (according to a workaround that I found in the bug database)
But nothing of this worked, alone or together. I've read that this is (or was) a bug in the API, but don't know if a solution has been found.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

It's not clear what you are asking. Maybe this will help

I cant type any letters on pages?!?!?

can anybody help me? i cant type any letters on pages and cant change the style like the color...?!?

Hi steniel,
If you want to write text without first inserting a container for the text, then open a blank template from the Word processing section of the Template Chooser.
Word processing documents have a text layer, into which you can enter text directly.
Page Layout documents do NOT contain a text layer. A blank Page Layout document is a blank canvas on which "objects" may be placed.
"Text" is NOT an "object." "Text" requires a container.
The container may be a Text box, a Shape, a Table—all of which are "objects"—or a Chart (which is a collection of "objects" as well as being an "object" itself).
Regards,
Barry

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 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

How to Type Diacritical Alphabets / Special Characters

Dear,
I am looking for the solution of following issues in MS Word and Excel 2007 Onward Applications:
Our group members currently working in typing English articles on different chapters / topics and we are currently facing some problem with the same.
We seek your kind help for the solution of following issues that are being faced currently:
How to set the diacritical alphabets / special characters on your keyboard keys e.g. if I want to type Ā,
then i just use the following command to type the same.
How it is possible that I can easily type the special characters / diacritical alphabets with one combination only i.e. "Alt + a" for lower case alphabet e.g.
ā & "Alt+Shift+a" for upper case e.g. Ā, using the keyboard in U.S language.
Is there any option / add-in in MS Word / MS Excel that gives me solution of drop down option / suggestions of the word(s) to be typed.
- Spell check option with accurate suggestion(s) of diacritical words to be made available.
Seeking the solution of above matters anxiously.
Regards,
Kamran Damji

The symbols that are available when you go to Insert|Symbol depends on what font you have selected when you open that dialogue or what other font you choose from the Fonts dropdown.
I cannot see how developing an exe file would help - your users would still have to activate it and choose the desired character(s). A possible solution would be for you to create a series of Autotext entries for the symbols you require then distribute those
to your users. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/add-autotext-HA010255209.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326538
For the spell-checking, you should use an appropriate Paragraph Style or Character Style for the Arabic text, with the Style's language set to the appropriate Arabic dialect, and make sure that Style is applied to the text in question. You will also
need to have the same Arabic dialect installed as a Proofing Language (see File|Options>Language).

I drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones

i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them

The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.

Why is it when I type the first few letters it suggest (in voice) the word? Where do I go to stop it on the new 7?

Why is it that when I go to send a message and type the first two letters the phone speaks a suggested word to use? Where do I go to change this?

Bo to Settings > General > Accessablility > Voice Over and switch it off.
If you want some VoiceOver access, then within the Voice Over section switch off "Speak hints"

SSID with special characters showing up in place of the letters

On a Win 7 machine the SSID list of available wireless networks is showing up with special characters in place of the normal letters in the name of the SSID... It has nothing to do with the Linksys Router, it is a problem on this computer. It makes it impossible to connect to a wireless network. I removed the device and reinstalled it hoping that might help. I can't find any viruses, (Known Viruses) Has anyone here seen this before? I am atttaching a photo of this. Any help appreciated.

Is this the only computer having a problem? How many wireless devices are connected and working to the router right now?
