Chinese Characters in User Variables

I'm using FrameMaker 7.2.
On an XP machine localized for CH, I'm trying to convert
and translate a manual into Simplified Chinese. I'm doing
fine with entering or pasting characters directly into the
document, but am having no success with variables.
In the edit variable window I can get a character in and
displaying correctly, but as soon as I space over to do the
next character, the previous one changes to a question mark.
I hope there is just a simple setting or step I'm missing.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Nate Stelton

Arnis,
Thanks. I tried your suggestion, but could not get FM to see it as a 4-digit
hex--it always broke it into separate bytes.
In the meantime, I got a working answer from the Framers mailing list. Here
is my followup, which includes the answer:
Phil Heron said:

Woo hoo! This worked. I do use FM 7.2. This particular machine's
Regional and Language Options did not have the third Advanced tab,
so in the Regional Options tab, I just changed the first box to
Chinese (PRC) and rebooted.
I noticed that in my Variable edit space, the Chinese characters
do not display properly, but in the document you need to ensure
that the variable is in the correct font (in my case, SimSun),
and it will then work.
Many thanks, Phil!

Why the user experience on Bluetooth keyboard of iPad is different on keyboard of MacBook, especially when typing Chinese characters?

I am a Chinese in Taiwan, and I use a input method call "Changjei" (倉頡) to input chinese character. And thank for "Yahoo Kimo Input Method" found in Macbook Pro, so that I can use this method as same as typing in Windows PC. When I use bluetooth keyboard connect to iPad mini, it has "Changjei" input method also, but the user experience is different than typing in MacBook Pro! I often type the wrong word when typing in iPad, because some words need additional space key to avoid selection ( when selection appear usually need additional number key for selection ). Usually every chinese character only need one space key for confirm, and in iPad, some Chinese characters need two space key(this will cause problem), and others need one as usual. It slow me down greatly, and is not a smoothly and freely experience when expressing my idea by typing in iPad, and I often distract by these misleading situation when typing.

Unable to read chinese characters in a flat file to external table

Hi All,
We have a flat file containing data in chinese. We are using external table to read data in files. When i do select <coulmn-name> from <table> it displays box for the chinese characters. The column is of type varchar2.
The NLS_LANGUAGE is AMERICAN and NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
The character set is mentioed as UTF8 in external table defnition.
Is the external table not reading these charcters properly? Should any patch be installed or some settings should be changed for sql developer to to display chinese character?

The NLS_LANG environment variable/registry string variable (You are just one of the 1000s of 'anonymous' users refusing to post platform and version), so NOT NLS_LANGUAGE, on the server hosting the file, should be set to anything ending in .AL32UTF8

Converting Chinese Characters from UTF-8 to GB2312

Hi,
I need to interact with an external system that only accepts GB2312 encoded strings as input.
I have a site that is used to capture user input before feeding the data to the system. (Refer to the following)
<%
String strName = request.getParameter("strName");
boolean serviceStatus = false;
if (request.getParameter("strName") != null)
serviceStatus=invokeTheService(strName,"text_process");
%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
How can i encode the "strName" variable value to "GB2312". (Do be informed that i am unable to change the meta Content-Type to GB2312)
I had tried using the following but was unable get it right.
strName = new String(strName.getBytes("UTF-8"),"GB2312");
I had also tried using the CharsetEncoder.encode to attempt to encode it to GB2312 but kept getting a UnmappableCharacterException message.
*Correct me if i'm wrong, but UTF-8 tends to represent characters in 1,2 or 3 bytes.
In the case of chinese characters, each character is represented by 3 bytes.
GB2312 tends to represent each character in 2 bytes.
So if i have a 3 chinese character as input, the original strName.length() would return 9. whereas the Gb2312 encoded strName should return 6 ?

>

strName = new String(strName.getBytes("UTF-8"),"GB2312");That can never ever be right. Java Strings are UNICODE encoded as UTF16. They are always encoded internally as UTF16 so your code says - convert the string to UTF8 bytes and then, even though they are UTF8 bytes and not GB2312 bytes, treat them as GB2312 bytes. That will almost certainly corrupt the String
>
I had also tried using the CharsetEncoder.encode to attempt to encode it to GB2312 but kept getting a UnmappableCharacterException message.Even if Java does support GB2312 then it is a wast of time sending GB2312 content to a client and telling the client that it is UTF-8 .

Chinese characters become garbage characters after reinstall Essbase

I reinstalled Essbase but I found the Chinese characters become garbage characters in the EAS. And I set ESSLANG=SimplifiedChinese_China.MS936@Binary, but it still didn't work.
I ran the command:ESSUTF8 -a. It shows:
Failed on GCSetLocale(). Please set proper ESSLANG environment.
Is it related to Oracle characters set? My one is SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.AL32UTF8. I heard the shared service console maybe can solve it, but I didn't find the solution in it.

Hi,
NOTE: If any of the following Action Points are already done, I would recommend you to implement again.
1. On the client machine, add the following Environment Variable under System Variables and User Variables. Add ESSLANG as system variable name and User Variable name and put SimplifiedChinese_China.MS936@binary as variable value.
2. On client Machine, Verify the Regional and Language Options.
In the Control Panel, navigate to Regional and Language options. Under Regional Options tab, verify if the option "Select an Item to match its preferences, or click Customize to choose your own formats:" has been set to "English (United States)". If yes, set it to "Chinese (PRC)".
3. On Client Machine, verify if the Unicode font is installed. The font “Arial Unicode MS Font” supports Unicode characters.
4. Verify the problem in SpreadSheet Add-in(Essbase Add-in). Navigate to Tools->Add-in in Excel, do you see "Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server DLL (Unicode)”. If No, uncheck the option then close Excel. Open Excel again and then navigate to Tools->Add-ins and browse to Hyperion/Analytics/Bin and select the .xll file
Hope it helps...

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
I googled and got some tips:
1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
- I did this.
2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
- It was already set to UTF-8.
3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
- This has been done when I installed Windows.
I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

Chinese characters scrambled when loading from DS to BW

Hi, I've been pulling my hair out with this issue.
I have a flat file containing Chinese text. When I load this in BW using 'FLATFILE' as a source system, it works fine. BW shows the correct Chinese characters.
When I do the same load using BODI, I get funny characters.
When I use BODI to load from one flat file into another flat file, the Chinese characters remain correct.
What do I need to do to make sure I get the right Chinese characters in BW when loading from BODI?
BODI is installed on Unix on Oracle 10.
I run the jobs as batch processes.
The dsconfig.txt has got:
AL_Engine=<default>_<default>.<default>
There are no locale settings in al_env.sh
BW target is UTF-8 codepage.
File codepage is BIG5-HKSCS
BODI is set up as a Unicode system in SAP BW.
When loading flat file to flat file, I get a message:
DATAFLOW: The specified locale <eng_gb.iso-8859-1> has been coerced to <Unicode (UTF-16)
because the datastore <TWIN_FF_CUSTOMER_LOCAL> obtains data in <BIG5-HKSCS> codepage.
JOB: Initializing transcoder for datastore <TWIN_FF_CUSTOMER_LOCAL> to transcode between
engine codepage<Unicode (UTF-16)> and datastore codepage <BIG5-HKSCS>
When loading to BW the messages are almost the same, but now the last step in UTF-16 to UTF-8.
I read the wiki post which definitely helped me to understand the rationale behind code page, but now I ran out of ideas what else to check ( http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Multiple+Codepages )
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Issue Regarding Chinese characters In Smart Form Print preview..

Hi All,
I am working on a smart form development for chinese users. The requirement is the user will login using English & when the delivery will be issued for output, a check will be done on the country of user. If that comes as china then the international version (C) maintained for that customer will come as output.
Now the problem is even if I login using EN or ZH the below issue I am facing always.
In the database I can view the details in chinese properly by logging in as ZH. During debugging also i checked the data from table ADRC & MAKT is coming in chinese properly. But when i gave the values to be output in SmartForm, it is showing the characters like how it will look if I login using EN & view the table contents.
When i view the data by changing character set as Simplified Chinese then in table i can see chinese texts properly. But when the same data goes to print preview it shows the chinese characters like as it would appear when character set is Unicode or West European..
Please help..
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
print preview and physical printout are two different things.
PrintPreview:
The data stream will be sent to the frontend and rendered with windows-fonts etc (for backend prints a simulation).
Printout:
Frontend: You need a printer, that maps the character, you have to use SAPWIN or SAPWINCF when using cascading fonts. The rendering will be done in the windows spooler.
Backend: Your printer needs also a mapping (look like something with UTF8). Also the printer needs the fonts installed because the rendering will be done in the printer!
If you use the pdf-printer in SAP, you need to upload all necessary fonts (TTF) for the pdf-composer. Also you need a unicode pdf printer for that.

Christian

LoadUserProfile() creates a profile with Chinese characters on a remote system

Hi,
I'm working on an application where LoadUserProfile() is being used to remotely load a user profile on a machine. The token being passed to LoadUserProfile() is obtained from LogonUser().
When doing this only with a Domain Admin user which is added in Active Directory, it creates a profile with Chinese characters in the C:\Users\ folder of the remote machine. Note that this happens only when logging in for the first time with
this Domain Admin account remotely on that machine.
// code:
PROFILEINFO pi;
memset((void *) &pi, 0, sizeof(PROFILEINFO));
pi.dwSize = sizeof(PROFILEINFO);
pi.dwFlags = PI_NOUI;
pi.lpUserName = (TCHAR *)strUser; //strUser is the User name, and it shows correctly here when debugging
if (LoadUserProfile(hToken, &pi))
//It is actually successful, and comes here when debugging.
Although the name shows up correctly when debugging (remotely), why is it creating a profile with Chinese characters on the remote machine?
TIA,
Jy

CreateProfile won't load the profile. You need to use LoadUserProfile to load the profile, and you need to query for a roaming profile path to put in the lpProfileInfo parameter if you want to include that as well. You need a token for a
user to call LoadUserProfile, but not a profile handle. LoadUserProfile will populate that for you before it returns if it was successful. See this excerpt from
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762281%28v=vs.85%29.aspx:
Upon successful return, the hProfile member
of PROFILEINFO is
a registry key handle opened to the root of the user's hive. It has been opened with full access (KEY_ALL_ACCESS). If a service that is impersonating a user needs to read or write to the user's registry file, use this handle instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Do not close thehProfile handle.
Instead, pass it to the UnloadUserProfile function.
This function closes the handle. You should ensure that all handles to keys in the user's registry hive are closed. If you do not close all open registry handles, the user's profile fails to unload. For more information, see Registry
Key Security and Access Rights and Registry
Hives.

Not all chinese characters display correctly with non-embedded text

Hi all,
I've updated to the last beta 2 of Flash Player 10.1 (10,1,51,66) and compiled this simple Flex application to illustrate the fact that not all chinese characters can be displayed correctly with non-embedded text (device font).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN'];"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝">
    </s:Label>
    <mx:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Notice that characters from the Unicode range 0x4F1E .. 0x4А2D are not displayed within <s:Label> component that uses Flash Text Engine (FTE) by default to display the text, but at the same time those characters display just fine within older <mx:Label> component that relies on flash.text.TextField instance to render the text.

    OK, did not know that "Arial Unicode MS" font is only distributed with Microsoft Office, was looking into relying on this font in case if "simsun.ttc" font is not available at the user's system, by using the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN']"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
        s|Label {
            fontFamily: "Arial Unicode MS, SimSun, Arial";
    </fx:Style>
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label id="sparkLabel" text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Tough decision ahead, but accordingly to the survey at codestyle.org (2000 participants from 2007 year and onwards), Arial Unicode MS is present at 62.53%% system surveyed.
ps
   My current install of Windows XP already includes the install of Microsoft Office 2007 and I've also enabled/disabled the support of East Asian languages, thus the content of my "fonts" folder differs now significantly from "clean" Windows XP install version.
Nevertheless I found the page with comprehensive lists of standard fonts installed with different releases of Windows that looks viable here: http://www.kayskreations.net/fonts/fonttb.html

Cannot Store Chinese Characters In Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database

Hi,
I'm having trouble localizing my Oracle 9.2.0.7 / ASP web application for our Chinese-speaking users.
My Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database has NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET set to AL16UTF16.
I've set up a test table thus:
CREATE TABLE "TBL_TEST_CH"
field1                          NVARCHAR2(40),
field2                          NVARCHAR2(40)
I have the Chinese character set installed on my database / web server (same box), as well as a test client machine. I can see Chinese characters in my web browser, and can enter them in a test ASP page I've set up. When I execute an insert statement via ADO, the insert statement seems to work, but the result is that the data seems to be stored as upside-down question marks.
I thought perhaps the data was being somehow scrambled between the web app and the database, so I set up an external table import the Chinese data from a Unicode text file:
CREATE TABLE kenny.ch_import
     FIELD1          NVARCHAR2(255),
     FIELD2          NVARCHAR2(255)
     ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (TYPE oracle_loader
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_dat_dir
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
     (RECORDS DELIMITED BY ":"
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY "~"
     missing field values are null)
     LOCATION (ext_dat_dir:'test_ch.txt'))
     reject limit unlimited
However, when I query the data in the external table using my web application, it comes back with garbage like "ÿþ1" and the like.
To attempt to determine if the database is capable of storing the Chinese characters, I've performed the following test:
1) I insert a Chinese character in an NVARCHAR2 field in my table by using the UNISTR function thus:
insert into tbl_test_ch (field1) values (unistr('\3E00'))
2) I interrogated the value using the dump function thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
I'm struggling to understand the output. Obviously the character set being used is "AL16UTF16" (which I would expect to be able to store Chinese characters), but the return_format argument I've provided to the function (1016) should return the hexadecimal code point of the character that's being stored. I would expect this to be the same as I inserted ("3E00"), but I'm getting the following output:
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 3e,0
I'd really appreciate any suggestions on what I could do next to determine exactly where the problem lies. I've not been able to convince myself that the database is correctly storing the Chinese character data, but I appreciate equally that the problem could lie elsewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Kenny McEwan.

Thanks, Serguisz.
My technology stack is as follows:
ASP 3.0 web application, running on IIS6.
On the web servier, I have MDAC 2.8 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
On the Oracle database server, I have Windows Server 2003 SP1.
My Oracle database version is 9.2.0.7.
The client I've been using in this investigation is Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.
It does look like you're right about characters coming from the application are being corrupted. To support this, I tried to insert the chinese character 博 as well as the Unihan character 中 from a web page in my application. I then used the dump function to interrogate the contents of the field I input to thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Both characters seem to have suffered the same corruption.
The problem seems to happen in the other direction as well - even after verifying that the character detailed in the previous post was stored correctly, it is still displayed by my web app as an upside down question mark.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Best regards,
Kenny.

Viewing Chinese Characters / Encoding setting in SQL Developer

Hi all,
I am new to SQL Developer 1.1. I have just downloaded the tool yesterday.
I have a table where there "should" be chinese characters in a NVARCHAR2 column. But I see only inverted question marks when displaying that data in SQL Developer.
I know from a ressource on the web, that SQL Developer is able to display chinese characters ( see http://awads.net/wp/2006/07/06/sql-developer-and-utf8/ ).
The NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is set to AL16UTF16; the NLS_CHARACTER_SET is set to WE8ISO8859P1.
The encoding under Tools->Preferences->Environment is set to "Cp1252".
What is actually the influence of this Encoding setting and do I have to make changes to that to view the data?
In addition I have to admit, that we actually do not really know if the data entered the DB correctly, that is as chinese characters. Maybe there have occured conversion errors that were made in a application that writes the data into the database. Actually I want to verify that. So, if I have the right settings configured which should be fine to see chinese characters and then I see only inverted question marks I can conclude that the data actually entered the database corrupted and the error is not an display issue with SQL Developer but rather an error in the application that writes the data to the database.
Thanks to any answers in advance!
Regards,
Philipp Hinnah

Displaying chinese characters in browser

Dear sirs,
I am having the following issue in chinese internationalization.when i stored the JSP form parameters(typed in chinese) in database,it stored some kind of junk characters ....and when i displayed ,they showed like SMALL SMALL tables.... in my browser.

----->request.setCharacterEncoding(encode); (it gets encoding UTF-8 from web.xml file)
In my MYSQL,i set...

Could anyone tell me another method for displaying chinese except this getBytes()..
please help me out. i am trying to find out an alternative server-independent method for past two weeks.

Printing chinese characters on a Zebra printer using Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with some words in English and another one in simplified chinese. We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD with the AZPL203 driver.
When we print the form in the zebra printer some of the chinese characters are printed and some of them no.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
However, this is not the right forum for you. It is only for SAP Business One user. Please search entire forums first to find which one is more proper.
However, this issue may not be related to SAP at all. Search on the web would be better.
Thanks,

The same character is getting printed from all microsoft office tools, the problem is only from SAP ( 4.7)
Tried on several models( HPLaserJet Q6511Q, HPLaserJet Q7551Q, dot matrix printer EPSON LQ-2180C) with frontend printing , device type is TWSAPWIN
Any pointers , please let me know
Thanks
Arun
