Display extended ascii characters as question mark in xml file

I am creating a XML file with encoding as UTF-8. Some tag values contain some extended ascii characters. When i run the java program to create the file in windows, the extended ascii characters are display correctly. But in linux it is displaying as ?(question mark).
i am not able to rectify this. can anyone help me....
Its urgent
Thanks in advance.

Probably the locale is not set for the shell you are running in. The default 'C' locale uses the ASCII encoding which defines only 128 characters. See if giving the commandexport LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8before starting the program fixes the issue.

Would like to use/see extended ascii characters in...

I've got an E72 and I love it, but I would like to be able to see and use extended ascii characters. Here is an example: σ__σ . It looks like an upside-down, mirror-image capital Q on either side of the regular underline character. To get the character I use ALT-229 on my Windows keyboard. I can type this into my sms's or emails using ctrl-229, but it looks like a small "a" with a little "u" over it. It looks the same way when it gets to my Windows email, so the character is not being sent properly from my E72.
Am I just using the wrong ascii code? Help!

I did a little testing.
SMS:
when I create a text message to send to myself as a test, I can use ctrl-963 and on my original text message it looks like the lower case sigma, the character I want.
When I get the text message, the character looks like an upper case sigma (the "M" on its side).
The character is not supported at all in the regular Nokia Messaging app.
EMAIL:
When I attempt to use the character in creating a message, it just gives me a question mark character.
When I get an email with the character, again it just gives me a question mark character.
It appears that this is indeed a matter of software. I-sms will support showing me that character, but not receiving it. Profimail (the mail app I am using) doesn't support it either way.
This isn't critical. I will keep it in the back of my mind when evaluating this kind of app, and try suggesting to the programmers of both apps that supporting the extended character set would be handy, particularly in text messaging.

Mac Book just displays a folder icon with question mark

Hi! My mac does not turn on, it just displays a folder with a question mark. What should I do?
Btw, I've just turned it on in a country with a lower power supply, can this be the problem? I'm kind of desperate by now.
Thank you. [email protected]

Problem convertting certain extended ascii characters

I'm having problems with the extended ascii characters in the range 128-159. I'm working with SQL server environment using java. I originally had problems with characters in the range 128-159 when I did a 'select char_col from my_table' I always get junk when I try to retreive it from the ResultSet using the code 'String str = rs.getString(1)'. For example char_col would have the ascii character (in hex) '0x83' but when I retrieved it from the database, my str equaled '0x192'. I'm aware there is a gap in the range 128-159 in ISO-8859-1 charset. I've tracked the problem to be a charset issue converting the extended ascii characters in ISO-8859-1 into java's unicode charset.
I looked on the forum and it said to try to specify the charset when I retreived it from the resultset so I did 'String str = new String(rs.getBytes(), "ISO-8859-1")' and it was able to read the characters 128-159 correctly except for five characters (129, 141, 143, 144, 157). These characters always returned the character 63 or 0x3f. Does anyone who what's happening here? How come these characters didn't work? Is there a workaround this? I need to use only use java and its default charsets and I don't want to switch to the windows Cp1252 charset cuz I'm using the java code in a unix environment as well.
thanks.

Normally your JDBC driver should understand the charset used in the database, and it should use that charset to produce a correct value for the result of getString(). However it does sometimes happen that the database is created by programs in some other language that ignore the database's charset and do their own encoding, bypassing the database's facilities. It is often difficult to deal with that problem, because the custodians of those other programs don't have a problem, everything is consistent for them, and they will not allow you to "repair" the database.
I don't mean to say that really is your problem, it is a possibility though. You are using an SQL Server JDBC driver, aren't you? Does its connection URL allow you to specify the charset? If so, try specifying that SQL-Latin1 thing and see if it works.

My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark on it when it turns on. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

My macbook pro displays a folder with a question mark and won't open. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

it means your HD and the software can't find each other, the following article tells how to troubleshoot this issue:
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
hopefully you have backup of your data since sometimes this means the HD is crashing.
if the article doesn't resolve the issue i would take the mac to apple store or service provider and have it looked at, the following link tells how to find one close to you:

Contains query fails for extended ascii characters

I have an Oracle 9.2 instance whose characterset is WE8MSWIN1252. I'm using the same characterset on my client. If I have a LONG column that contains extended-ascii characters (the example I'm using has the Euro character 'â¬', but I've seen the same problem with other characters), and I'm using the Intermedia service to index that column, then this select statement returns no records even though it should find several:
select id from table1 where (contains(long_col,'â¬',1) > 0);
However, the same select statement looking for something else, like 'e', works just fine.
What am I doing wrong? I can do a "like" query against a VARCHAR2 column with a Euro character, and it works correctly. I can do a "dbms_lob.instr" query against a CLOB column with a Euro character, and it also works. It's just the "contains" query against a LONG column that fails.

There are a number of limitations in using Long datatypes. If you check the SQL Reference you will see: "Oracle Corporation strongly recommends that you convert LONG columns to LOB columns as soon as possible. Creation of new LONG columns is scheduled for desupport.
LOB columns are subject to far fewer restrictions than LONG columns. Further, LOB functionality is enhanced in every release, whereas LONG functionality has been static for several releases."

What does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro

what does a question mark and i file mean on my macbook pro when i turn it on?

To be more specific, the computer is not finding a valid system when it starts up. This may result from the hard drive's physical mechanism failing, or the system on the drive being corrupted in some way.
Repairing permissions is not likely to fix this issue. Instead I would suggest booting from the system install DVD, running Disk Utility, selecting your hard drive's partition and select *Repair Disk*.
Note: if the hard drive does not show up in Disk Utility at all, it is dead and will need to be replaced. Contact Apple (800-275-2273 in the USA) and have them set up warranty service, or carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store to have it fixed. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail] first you you may wait a long time to speak to a Mac Genius.
If Repair Disk finds any problems and is able to correct them, you may be able to restart and everything be okay. If it is unable to correct the problems, you will need to erase and restore your hard drive.
If Repair Disk does not find any problems, I would suggest an Archive and Install as described in [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710].
Best of luck.

SQL Developer, UTF8 Oracle DB, extended ascii characters appear as blocks

I have this value stored on the database:
(Gestion Económica o Facturaci
Notice the second word has an extended ascii character in it. When I use SQL Developer on my windows machine to view the data, I get a box in place of the o, kinda like this:
(Gestion Econ�mica o Facturaci
If I log on to the AIX server where the oracle database in question is and run sqlplus from there, I see things properly. I also managed to regedit oracle home to get sql plus on my windows machine to display this properly. I still cannot get sql developer to work though...

This problem is quite strange in that when I've been able to manually set American_america.utf8, things work.Sorry to say, but it seems you may have an incorrect setup.
In general, you should set char set part of NLS_LANG to let Oracle know the code page used by the client. With win-1252, NLS_LANG should include .WE8MSWIN1252.
The display from sqlplus was "lying", due to incorrectly stored data coupled by incorrect nls_lang setting (char set part). The pass-through or gigo scenario can be dangerous this way. Search the Globalization forum for the term 'pass-through' for previous discussions on the theme.
The setting on AIX servers may be incorrect as well, but it depends how you use it (e.g. for database export or data load with utf-8 encoded files it may be correct).
The output of the query you recommended looks odd to me:
(Gestion Econ�mica o Facturaci     Typ=1 Len=30 CharacterSet=UTF8:
28,47,65,73,74,69,6f,6e,20,45,63,6f,6e,f3,6d,69,63,61,20,6f,20,46,61,63,74,75,72,61,63,69;This is the telling part. The 0xF3 is not legal in UTF8. Actually, the code units for ó, U+00F3 Latin small letter o with acute, are C3 B3. So instead of f3 you should have expected c3,b3 from the dump output.
>
So it looks like what's under the covers is correct, but I'm still not seeing the correct character in sql developer.The opposite is true. Data is incorrectly stored and SQL Developer is correctly showing you this. Sqlplus is not the best tool in Unicode environments, SQL Developer is better.
>
ACP according to my windows registry is 1252. OEMCP is 437Also, if you use database clients in console mode (such as sqlplus), NLS_LANG should include .US8PC437 to properly indicate that code page in use is 437.

Screen displays small folder icon with question mark

My powerbook won't boot up, makes a clicking noise when turned on and is displaying a small folder in the middle of the screen that alternates with a symbol and a question mark. Bad hard drive?

"Also, can I purchase a hard drive from a brick and mortar Mac store or do I need to buy it online?"
I suspect Apple Stores don't carry older style hard drives. I buy all my hard drives from this outfit:
2.5" ATA Laptop Drives All Pre-2006 Apple Laptops and most PC Laptops utilize a standard ATA type drive. 80GB to 320GB from $59.99
I've had good results with the Western Digital Scorpios in older Mac notebooks. Just remember that your PowerBook uses the older ATA/IDE drives, not the more common SATA models. Keep the height to 9.5MM for best compatibility.

Need to find out extended ASCII characters in database

Hi All,
I am looking for a query that can fetch list of all tables and columns where there is a extended ASCII character (from 128 to 256). Can any one help me?

YadalaThis should match your requirement:
select t.TABLE_NAME, t.COLUMN_NAME from ALL_TAB_COLUMNS t
where length(asciistr(t.TABLE_NAME))!=length(t.TABLE_NAME)
or length(asciistr(t.COLUMN_NAME))!=length(t.COLUMN_NAME);The ASCIISTR function returns an ASCII version of the string in the database character set.
Non-ASCII characters are converted to the form \xxxx, where xxxx represents a UTF-16 code unit.
The CHR function is the opposite of the ASCII function. It returns the character based on the NUMBER code.
ASCII code 174

Search no mapped unicode characters as question mark

No mapped unicodes characters are replace by question mark.
I want to search/detect these characters to correct them (i may spend too much time to find the character "?" in a big document, because of real question mark).
How can i do ?

Arnis' .mif suggestion is the way I've tackled this problem from time to time, but save a spare copy before you start <g><br /><br />You may not need to, though. I haven't checked, but see if you can find a page with both a normal question-mark and one you know indicates a unicode character. Then copy/paste the unicode question-mark into the Find/replace dialogue and see what happens; I suspect it will have its own value, not the same as a normal question-mark.

How to write extended ASCII characters to a file

Here is a distilled fragment from some larger script. Its purpose is to create a text file containing some characters from the extended ASCII character set.
$String = "Test" + [char]190 + [char]191 + [char]192
echo $String | out-file d:\test.txt -Encoding ascii
What I want in the target file is exactly the 7 characters that make up $String. The above method fails to deliver this result. How can I do it?

Hi,
Try using Add-Content or Set-Content instead:
$String = "Test" + [char]190 + [char]191 + [char]192
echo $String | Set-Content .\test.txt
