Data Integrator: Arabic characters are not correctly displayed

Hi,
I'm trying to load Arabic text via an UTF8 flat file into an Oracle database.
I've read several topics and set the correct code page settings (also during install) for the datastore and flat file.
Already in flat file preview (see attached screenshot), the wrong characters are displayed. The characters as they are displayed, are inserted in the database. So I think that if I get the flat file preview correctly, the text is inserted correctly into the database.
On the other hand: When i copy the contents of the flat file, via a bodi job, to another flat file, the target flat file does contain the correct characters (when opened in a utf8 file reader).
I tried several solutions and also went through the Code Page help topic on the BODI site.
Does anyone know a solution to my problem or know this is a BODI bug or something?
I'm using Designer version 11.5.3.9 (I went through fix notes of versions after 11.5.3.9, but saw nothing mentioned about my problem). The Oracle database does support arabic characters as I can insert them via e.g. SQL Developer.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hé Amr, thanks a lot! This sounds good.
I indeed saw a kind of this solution somewhere else. What I did not is restarting the computer, since it is a shared server. Maybe that was why it didn't solve my problem.
Before I restart an additional question: I need to convert some files with Turkish characters as well.
Have you got a value which I can put in NLS_LANG, which supports these characters and Arabic characters both at the same time?

Hello,
Try to set the Font Subsetting like below in the file uifont.ali
[PDF:Subset]
* = "arialbd.ttf"
If it works after this modification, the problem will be related to the Font Aliasing

French characters are not correctly stored in database with SQLPlus

Hello everyone,
I would like to do the following:
Run an SQL script that inserts/deletes/updates data. The data itself may be
French or non-English characters .Currently, we do this
by just running a script that invokes SQLPlus and runs the various SQL
scripts. However, non-English characters are not correctly stored in the
database (server character set is currently set to AL32UTF8).
Is there a way to get this to work in SQLPlus?
I have tried saving the files in UTF8 or unicode but SQLPlus cannot identify
the formatting of the file and spits out an error.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,

If the CharacterSet on server is Unicode, normally, there is no problem IF the client is using a characterset with é or à ! ;-)
you should set NLS_LANG on client side...

Data carrier & application field are not getting displayed in CV04N

Hi Guru's
In TCode : CV04N, data carrier & application field are not getting displayed.
While i compare with my IDES system, data carrier & application fields are getting displayed in CV04N.
Let me know is there any configuration that has been missed out.
Regards
Bhanu

Hi Bhanu,
Please note that the fields 'Data carrier' & 'Application field' are visible only if no document type is entered.
Suppose you enter a document type and press ENTER then these fields disappear. This is because the field 'Application' was designed when only the storage is archive, vault or SAP-SYSTEM was possible and the number of added originals was limited.
Currently DMS allows storage of originals on Content Server and there is no limit on the number of added originals, the system behavior was changed due to performance reasons. To avoid performance problems if you search for a document with a lot of originals attached this field gets invisible if you enter a document type which uses the KPRO storage.

Arabic characters are no longer displaying properly in NB 6.7

Hello all -
Up until NB 6.5.1, my GUI displayed Arabic characters properly as typed. As I shifted to NB 6.7 Beta today, all those Arabic characters are shown as funny binary-looking characters! But, this only occurs when I am running from within the NB space. When I run the application by clicking the jar files, the characters print OK.
Questions:
- Is this happening because it is a beta version may be?
- Is there a way or a place where I have to set some properties to display the Unicode characters correctly?
For example, I thought all I had to do was right-click the project --> Properties --> Source --> Encoding: UTF-8
Thank you for any help.
PS: I am posting this problem in the Internationalization forums.

Special characters are not being displayed normally after recent update.

FF messed up with that recent update. Special characters are now not being displayed properly - they somehow stretch the whole line where they are posted. It was fine before
I.E.:
http://www.discogs.com/artist/%E2%84%91%E2%8A%87%E2%89%A5%E2%97%8A%E2%89%A4%E2%8A%86%E2%84%9C
ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ
Here you can see what I mean (Opera & FF screenshots), Opera has no problems with them, see highlighted:

Which version were you using before?
Some font issues may be caused by graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You can disable it, but you might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Does that make any difference?

Certain special characters are not being displayed.

Before I upgraded my Firefox to the latest version characters such as "▅▅▅▅▅" were being displayed just fine. However, now they don't show up at all. Instead of these characters being shown, it just displays a blank area where the character should have been.
These characters work just fine with all of my other browsers (IE, Chrome, etc) But not with the latest Firefox. I've tried seeing if they show up on the older version (which is the version that my laptop has) and they show up just fine.
Active Character Encodings:
Western (ISO-8859-1)
Unicode (UTF-8)
(I have the same active ones on my older version of Firefox and the characters work just fine :C)

That are &#x2585; entities.
Do you have problems with other symbols?

HT201262 Fonts and graphics are slightly "fuzzy". Colors are not correctly displaying

After Mavericks installation on my Macbook Pro mid-2012 (non-retina), the fonts appear slightly fuzzy, the graphics seems less crisp and the colors are just "off". This issue seems to be system wide but is much worse whilst using Safari for some reason. (Safari 7.0)
Please advise and thanks in advance for any and all help/suggestions!

Hi,
There should be some problem with system settings. First of all, please check fonts size setting in Windows personalize.

Infotypes special characters are not displayed correctly

hi experts,
While entering names with special characters in infotypes it happens that some of them are not correctly displayed .
can you please help me out as soon as possible
thnx
harish

Thank you for your fast reply :)
The site is not online available unfortunately.
The character encoding used by Firefox is UTF-8 (automatically detected) which is correct. I even tried manually switching to other Chinese standards, but none of them brought a satisfieable result.
The site itself does not specify a font (the css only contains "font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Verdana;"), and the site does not provide a custom font either.
I noticed that if i copy and paste the text into word, the characters are wrongly displayed too using the font MS Mincho (so I assume Firefox automatically selects this font to display the characters which would explain why they are displayed incorrectly)
Ah, I now included the font "SimSun" in the css (which is installed on in windows and using this font the characters are displayed correctly in word) - and this solved he problem!
Thanks for your help!!

Some fonts I use for my iWeb-made site are not properly displayed on other computer. How can I sort it out?

Hello everybody.
I have made a website and I have noticed that some fonts and some background shapes are not correctly displayed on other computers (non Mac users).
Could you help me to sort out this problem?
Thanks
Andrea

It's not a browser issue per se either.
You see the Font because the font is your computer. The same font has to be on the computer of your visitor.
iWeb use a substitute font based on a font list it uses. If that substitute font is missing too, the browser chooses a similar font, which is not always the one you want.
You can force your font to display on a PC (but not with Internet Explorer) using a custom stylesheet with an embedded font. See it here :

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...

Amatu Allah

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.
