Chinese Character displayed as square box

I have been trying an opensourced application called Alliancep2p (could be obtained from www.alliancep2p.com) using JRE 1.6 on an English Windows XP Pro machine. The problem is all chinese input are displayed as "square box". Searching for a particular chinese phase works, only that everything is displayed as "square box". It looks like a font issue, though I'm not that sure. Is there anyway the default fonts could be changed, or to get the characters correctly displayed?
Note: I have east asian fonts installed, and the Java config panel can display chinese correctly.
I tried the same application under GNU/Linux (locale is UTF-8) and chinese input/display correctly without any problem at all. Does it mean that it is not the problem of the application, or?
Thanks for all the input.

Non-english character display as square box

Hi all,
I'm not very sure if this question should be asked here or in the JRE board, thus I'm trying here also

I'm not really sure if it's a problem of the application or not. But the fact that it works perfectly under Linux makes me think maybe it's not the problem of the program, and actually their developers said that unicode is being used all over the program and seems like they're not CJK users also.
I'm not a java guru so I can't really tell from the source if there's anything wrong.

Newbie: Simplified Chinese characters are displayed as square boxes

Hi,
I am using Windows XP Simplified Chinese Version SP3, Sun JDK5.0 Update 20. I want to run Apache Ofbiz POS; however, the Chinese characters (zh) in PosUiLabels.xml are all displayed as square boxes.
I have tested run Ofbiz in Mac OS X and the Simplified Chinese are displayed normally, and other languages can also be displayed in Windows XP.
What should I do?
Regards,
Terence

When you say "displayed" I assume you mean displayed in some GUI component. In which case you should assign a font to that component which can render those characters properly.

'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER' Chinese Character display as u2018#u2019

I want to upload a *.txt which was saved as unicode .
I use the following code to upload file to FTP server:
call function 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'
exporting
     handle = p_handle
     fname = p_filename
     character_mode = 'X'
tables
     text = i_file
exceptions
     tcpip_error = 1
     command_error = 2
     data_error = 3
    others = 4.
But after upload, I find all Chinese Character display as u2018#u2019.
By the way, I use ECC6.0 to do development.
How can I let the Chinese display correctly?

Hi
Try the following:
1) Changes in the GUI settings. for this:
a) go to SAP LOGON PAD.
b) select your server -> change item.
c) Go to Advanced.
d) On the next screen the default selection under the section u2018Encoding for up- and download is u2018Default- ANSI u2013for Unicode Systemsu2019
e) Please change this to u2018Default- UTF8 u2013for Unicode Systemsu2019
f) Click on OK and save. Then logout from the system if you were already logged in. The login again for settings to take effect.
Hope it'll help you.

Chinese Character display issue on Coldfusion 10

My Company using Coldfusion to built an report platform and recently I upgrade our Coldfusion 7MX with Windows Server 2003 to Coldfusion 10 Enterprise with Windosw Server 2008 R2.
I copy the Code from the Old server to the new one, but I met the problem I couldn’t solve.
We have a repost that can enter, modify and view our SRM that has Chinese Character display request. Chinese character was display without problem when the system in the old server. which look like following.
once I move the code into the new server, I got the problem with Chinese Character as following.
This report pulling the data from SQL2005 with Windows Server 2003 R2.
Coldfusion code code was same and both version is access to the same database.
I ran all of the update included to install the windows MUI for Chinese character into the new server, but I still can't get the character display correctly.
I can view the chinese character website without issue but only to display in the report.
I contact with Microsoft tech support but they don't have an solution for me. please help.

Install windows server language pack: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12250
Are you sure the Chinese is encoded in UTF-8? (It should be, but you should check the database field type encoding.) If it's simplified chinese it could be set to GB18030 and if it's traditional chinese it could be Big5.
You might want to leave off the encoding directive in CF and load the page in a browser then change encodings using tools > encodings to see what works.
祝你好运！

Hi,
I think I have a similar problem. Can you copy and paste how the songs look in iTunes, so I can compare?

Chinese character display problem

Hi
I can't display normal chinese character in a portlet or even
on a "button" in a portal server 4.0 sp1, is there any config
file I should modified or any suggestion? Thanks a lots

David,
You should read the WLS I18N documentation. In particular weblogic.xml for
WebApps contains a number of parameters that may be necessary.
Sincerely,

Chinese characters displaying as square

Hi,
I am trying to update a text frame with following script. It works well for all ascii but if chinese characters are entered in text, it displays them as square. I have language pack installed on Indesign machine.
//----script starts-----
var myDocument = app.open(File('//192.168.1.189/Clients/44/ArtBuild/Artworks/60951.indd'));
var myTextFrame = objPage.textFrames.itemByID(tmp_frmid);
var paragraph1 = myTextFrame.paragraphs.item(0);
paragraph1.contents = "Hello ャンペー"
myDocument.save('MyFile.indd');
//-----script ends ----
This updates indd file to display
Hello□□□□
What can be done so that unicode displays as it is.

Chinese fonts are already available on Indesign Machine.
Another related query regarding special charcters is:
If the above file doesn't have chinese characters but some special characters, then
1. if I copy the script and execute it in ExtendTool script, it properly updates the indd with special characters specified
2. If I call IndesignServer webservice by passing path of same script file, it updates indd file with junk characters.
Wonder, what difference it makes when script is executed through indesign webservice and not ExtendToolscript

Try using a different browser to download, like FireFox instead of Safari.

Help me :chinese character display between JDK1.3 and JDK1.4

My Application was builded in jdk1.3 under jb6,but when I switch my project's properties/paths/JDK to jdk1.4( the newest one),then rebuilder it,It can't display "chinese String" normally, why?
Thanks!

You should check that the right font.properties file is being used in the path:
<jdk1.3.1_path>/jre/bin/lib/font.properties...
If you need to display Traditional Chinese you should replace font.properties with font.properties.zh_TW.
Make sure to keep an original copy of font.properties.
Also, check that jbuilder is looking at the right jdk.
JBuilder > Tools > Configure JDK > set up the new JDK
JBuilder > Project > Project Properties > select the new JDK
good luck!

Bean:message chinese character display problem

Hello forum,
I found that message resources with Chinese characters are unable to display correctly in M7's JSP Design pane. I tried to change workspace encoding to GBK, and Eclipse is able to display the Resources file itself correctly, but the problem still exists in M7.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Wang Yin

If you add the meta tag "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" />"
does it show the resources properly?
