Displaying Big 5 characters on Safari

I have difficulty in reading some Japanese website as the characters are apparently neither in UTF-8 nor Big 5 HKSCS, this annoys me a lot and I really wish to deal with it, does anyone have any ideas?

Here is the website in question:
http://oxygen.s15.xrea.com/ruinas/
The encoding of that site is Japanese Shift JIS. It seems to have been created by people who are ignorant of the proper way to write web site code, so that users have to manually reset their default browser encoding. This isn't possible in iOS Safari, but perhaps in some other browser it is. You could also try setting your iOS interface language to Japanese to see if that makes a difference.

Displaying East Asian Characters in Safari?

Hello, I am learning Japanese and Korean. I have apps for the iPhone that display Hangul (Korean), and Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji(Japanese). When I am texting, I can view and input characters in Korean and Japanese. When I am in Safari, I am unable to view characters that are in these East Asian Languages on certain pages. google.co.jp works, but babelfish does not. There are other websites, but these were the two that I was using as a test. In babelfish, the translation box just comes up empty. Any ideas? Do I just need to use another translation site?
Thanks in advance!

Do I just need to use another translation site?
Perhaps. The best is certainly

Pls help - Displaying Simplified Chinese characters

Hi all,
I am using Servlet to generate HTML.
When I use setContentType="charset=big5" and out.println(" . . . ."); with Big-5 Traditional Chinese characters, everything is fine.
However, when I use setContentType="charset=gb2312" and out.println(" . . . ."); with GB2312 Simplified Chinese characters, everything is trash with some ??????.
The internet browser in both cases can correctly set to the appropriate character set, that is, in the 1st case it is big5 and in the 2nd case it is gb2312.
Pls help

It should be because the font provided cannot handle the characters. Java only ever sprays question marks or rectangles at you if the font you're using is incapable of displaying what you're trying to show.
I'd imagine that the system's default font is capable of displaying Big5 Chinese characters quite happily if it's working on the page. The problem will come when you switch the encoding of the page and the characters within it. The same default font obviously can't display GBK stuff. So switching the font (probably through the use of <FONT face=""> tags) might do the trick.
Hope that helps!

Display of Chinese Characters in Flash Video

'''Help needed to resolve issue with display of chinese fonts in Firefox.'''
I used to be able to run an html based chinese language learning program (with embedded Flash) in Firefox on my Galaxy Nexus mobile...that is until I installed the latest version of Firefox.
These are the instructions that came with the program to install/run it:
This site is best viewed with Mozilla FireFox 3.x+ (and above) with either Adobe Flash Player 8+ (and above) at a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768. We also recommend that you enable both JavaScript and Cookies in your chosen browser's settings. Obviously things have moved on since then and the version of Firefox I installed around May 2013 would have been around 22.0
While the above appear to be targeted at computer/tablet platforms the program ran successfully on my mobile and the embedded flash video worked well. The video clips and accompanying audio for each lesson were also accompanied by text that updated as each speaker began conversing. This text could be displayed (by selection) in English, Pinyin or Chinese characters.
With an upgrade to the latest version of Firefox the Chinese characters now no longer display although 'English' fonts do...why? Is this a character encoding issue? Can this be set? What has changed between version 22 or thereabouts that I installed in May 2013 and the current version. Someone must surely know ??? If this cant be fixed, how can I re-install an older version of Firefox on my mobile. As an aside
I was able to download firefox-22.0.bundle, some bundle.parts and .source files along with Firefox Setup 3.6.28.exe but cant install any of these. HELP needed please.

Hello,
Can you please confirm that this is the summary of the issue you are facing
#On a site using Flash, and using Firefox 22.0, you were able to view English, Pinyin, Chinese characters on the flash video
#You upgraded Firefox to the latest version from the play store, and also have the latest Flash version, but the same Flash video doesn't display the Chinese characters now
#You are looking for the older version of Firefox for Android so that you can confirm that this issue has something to do with the latest version of Firefox
For the last point, you can download the Android APKs of the older versions from the following links
#[https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/22.0/android/en-US/ Android APK for Firefox 22.0 in English]
#[https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/22.0/android-armv6/en-US/ Android APK for Firefox 22.0 in English for Arm V6]
Please do note that you will need to enable the 'Install from unknown sources' option on the Android device to be able to install this APK. Suggest that you disable the setting after you finish your testing.
Please confirm the details above and we can help you resolve the issue.
Thank you

What's wrong with the built-in keyboard on my macbook? The caps button does not work rite, no matter what letter button i push they all come out capitals and the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers!

the built-in keyboard on my macbook is not functioning right, the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers,
the caps button doesn't work at all, the letter buttons display capitals when pushed whether the caps button is on or off, the shift keys are also out of whack!!
It seems it somehow got relocated to the "0" button because if you push and hold the zero button down the keyboard seems to operate normally, the number keys display numbers when pushed the letter keys display lower case when pushed but release the zero button and your back in the twilight zone!! Can anybody help me resolve this issue? one more thing im using an external usb keyboard right now and it seems to function properly if that helps any.

You would do better in the actual macbook pro forums (this is not).

Display non-english characters

Hi,
How can i display Japanese, Chinese characters in a java application or applet? do i need some special tools?
Thanks,
eileen

Since Java supports unicode you don't need special
tools only a font which is able to display japanese or
Chinese charaters. For Windows:
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/fonts.html
You can display a unicode char with /uXXXX have a look
at
http://www.unicode.org/charts/
Or you already got a file with unicode characters....
have funThanks for your help.
But how can i put something down by checking that Unicode table from time to time? That's almost impossible...
suppose i've put some Japanese characters into a file, what type of file should i save it as? save it as a html file or something else?
and if i want the context of a label to be "xxxxx"(in Chinese), what should i do? JLabel label = new JLabel("???") how can i put some chinese characters to replace "???" ?
and how can i input Japanese/chinese characters under Mandrake?
Thank you very much,

The JSP WYSIWYG Editor can't display most Unicode characters

Eclipse supports display of Unicode characters very well since version 3. However, NitroX couldn't display most most of them. Well, besides characters from other non-Western European languages, NitroX can't even display characters that it's supposed to support. Well, that's what I think so. I mean, when we type the & character, we have the whole list of character entity references amongst which we could find &and; ∇ &or; → but which are not displayed correctly. And many more are in this case.
Is this a feature or a bug? By "feature", it means that we can't get them in free version.

I have exactly the same problem. I support web pages for 25 European countries. I've not seen Nitrox support any unicode characters. Until M7 answers this question or fixes the editor, you can use the Eclipse editor to see and edit the text.

FireFox 3.6.12 doesn't display an iFrame (an Amazon sales link) that displays in IE8, Chrome, and Safari. It displays iFrames of PDFs on the web site.

I support www.oaklandsymphonychorus.org, a site using DotNetNuke 4.9.5. I added an iFrame module to the site using the URL in this code:
<iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=oaklsympchor-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B002FQJT3Q&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
The iFrame displays in IE8, Chrome, and Safari, but not FireFox.

'''Solution:''' Add ''id'' and ''name'' attributes to the iframe-tag.
This problem is covered in this thread: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1942409

Displaying/reading multilingual characters

(1) how do you display universal characters in their native character sets? i have a multilingual file containing
chinese, japanese, Korean and english characters (there may be different/more languages). This file is encoded in unicode for development purposes.I need to display these in their proper native glyphs. Problem i encountered was choosing the right font.properties, for e.g. when i use font.properties.ko , korean fonts are display properly but chinese/japanese are not...and when i use font.properties.ja then korean characters are displayed as black boxes.
(2) Given a InputStream containing multi-lingual charactes such as CJK and english, is there a way to find out the locale of the character set. I need this so that numeric information is displayed in the proper local.
i'm using JDK 1.3 on windows 2000 sp2.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

(1) Since the data is already in Unicode, just get a font that can display all unicode characters. Arial Unicode MS is one such font.
(2) Not without some processing.

Create HTML file that can display unicode (japanese) characters

Hi,
Product:           Java Web Application
Operating system:     Windows NT/2000 server, Linux, FreeBSD
Web Server:          IIS, Apache etc
Application server:     Tomcat 3.2.4, JRun, WebLogic etc
Database server:     MySQL 3.23.49, MS-SQL, Oracle etc
Java Architecture:     JSP (presentation) + Java Bean (Business logic)
Language:          English, Japanese, chinese, italian, arabic etc
Through our java application we need to create HTML files that have to display unicode text. Our present works well with English and most of the european character set. But when we tried to create HTML files that will display unidoce text, say japanese, only ???? is getting displayed. Following is the code we have used. The out on the browser displays the japanese characters correctly. But the created file displays only ??? in place of japanese chars. Can anybody tell how can we do it?
<%
String s = request.getParameter( "txt1" );
out.println("Orignial Text " + s);
//for html output
String f_str_content="";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<HTML><HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<META content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<BODY> ";
f_str_content = f_str_content +s;
f_str_content = f_str_content +"</BODY></HTML>";
f_str_content = new String(f_str_content.getBytes("8859_9"),"Shift_JIS");
out.println("file = " + f_str_content);
          byte f_arr_c_buffer1[] = new byte[f_str_content.length()];
f_str_content.getBytes(0,f_str_content.length(),f_arr_c_buffer1,0);
          f_arr_c_buffer1 = f_str_content.getBytes();
FileOutputStream l_obj_fout; //file object
//file object for html file
File l_obj_f5 = new File("jap127.html");
if(l_obj_f5.exists()) //for dir check
l_obj_f5.delete();
l_obj_f5.createNewFile();
l_obj_fout = new FileOutputStream(l_obj_f5); //file output stream for writing
for(int i = 0;i<f_arr_c_buffer1.length;i++ ) //for writing
l_obj_fout.write(f_arr_c_buffer1);
l_obj_fout.close();
%>
thanx.

Try changing the charset attribute within the META tag from 'utf-8' to 'SHIFT_JIS' or 'utf-16'. One of those two ought to do the trick for you.
Hope that helps,

MS Notepad unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares

MS Notepad is unable to display the Chinese characters I type and display them as squares. But when I copy those squares on notepad to Wordpad or MS Word, they display the Chinese characters just fine. I've no idea why those Chinese characters I type can't display properly on notepad. I check the font of the notepad and it's the default. I've another Windows Vista desktop computer which has notepad of the similar setting and display Chinese characters just fine. Both are using Chinese (Simplified) - Microsoft Pinyin New Experience Input Style to input those characters. But I don't understand why my Windows 7 is facing this problem.

Hi,
Notepad is a very simple text editor BUT it will work if you use the SAME language in Windows. Please try:
1. go to control panel, click "Clock, Language, and Region"
2. click "Change location" under the "Region" section
3. go to the "administrative" tab, then click "change system locale...", then select "Chinese".
Regards.

The display width of characters in forms 10g

Hi,
I am facing problem in setting the display width of titles in the form dynamically.
Please tell if there is any fixed display width of characters in the form(including the small letters and caps).
And if not then Is there any way to determine it instead of hit and trial.
Thanks in advance,
Preeti

Hello,
You can get it with 2 lines of Java
   public static int getWidth (Font f, String s)
      Rectangle2D rect = f.getStringBounds(s,new FontRenderContext(new AffineTransform(),true,true));
      return (int)rect.getWidth();
    } With the following sample code:
System.out.println("Width="+getWidth(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN,14),"Hello"));Francois

How Oracle tables can be used to display Chinese/Japanese characters

If anyone knows how to display Chinese/Japanese characters from Oracle tables please reply this email. Thanks.
Regards,
Preston

hi
->Also please let me know how the Oracle Lite is licenced if I have 300 odd users of this offline applications
you should speak to your local oracle rep about that, for us for example they gave a pretty cheap packet for olite 10gr3+ 11g repository
->need to use only database part of Oracle Lite and not mobile server.
you cant do that. mobile server is the application server that handles the synchronization process from the server side. when a client tries to sync he actually connects to the mobile server and asks for the database changes , the mobile server know what the client must get so he packs it and give it to him
->you can ofc make lightweight .net apps using olite. we make olite apps even for wince handhelds. so yes ofcourse you can. olite had a win32 client also.
->can it run from usb.
ok here to be honest ive never tried that myself, looks kinda weird as a requirement to be honest but i dont see why it shouldnt run. if you set up the paths correctly you shouldnt have a problem i think.
->offline application will have more or less similar data entry forms and storage structure
yes ofcourse , if i have 3 tables in server i can choose to have 2(or all ) of them on the client too. i can even separate which client gets what. for instance if client a sells houses in new york he will get only the house table rows for new york. if another sells for chicago he will get those instead and etc.
->all client apps are offline and sync periodically (when you choose) to the server

How to display double byte characters with system.out.print?

Hi, I'm a newbie java programmer having trouble to utilize java locale with system io on dos console mode.
Platform is winxp, jvm1.5,
File structure is:
C:\myProg <-root
C:\myProg\test <-package
C:\myProg\test\Run.java
C:\myProg\test\MessageBundle.properties <- default properties
C:\myProg\test\MessageBundle_zh_HK.properties <- localed properties (written in notepad and save as Unicode, window notepad contains BOM)
inside MessageBundle.properties:
test = Hello
inside Message_zh_HK.properties:
test = 喂 //hello in big5 encoding
run.java:
package test;
import java.util.*;
public class Run{
public static void main(String[] args){
    Locale locale = new Locale("zh","HK");
    ResourceBundle resource =
        ResourceBundle.getbundle("test.MessageBundle", locale);
    System.out.println(resource.getString("test"));
}//main
}//classwhen run this program, it'll kept diplay "hello" instead of the encoded character...
then when i try run the native2ascii tool against MessageBundle_zh_HK.properties, it starts to display monster characters instead.
Trying to figure out what I did wrong and how to display double byte characters on console.
Thank you.
p.s: while googling, some said dos can only can display ASCII. To demonstrate the dos console is capable of displaying double byte characters, i wrote another helloWorld in chinese using notepad with C# and compile using "csc hello.cs", sure enough, console.write in c# allowed me to display the character I was expecting. Since dos console can print double byte characters, I must be missing something important in this java program.

after google a brunch, I learned that javac (hence java.exe) does not support BOM (byte order mark).
I had to use a diff editor to save my text file as unicode without BOM in order for native2ascii to convert into a ascii file.
Even the property file is in ascii format, I'm still having trouble to display those character in dos console. In fact, I just noticed I can use system.out.println to display double byte character if I embedded the character itself in java source file:
public class Run {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException{
          String msg = "中文";    //double byte character
                try{
                System.out.println(new String(msg.getBytes("UTF-8")) + " new string"); //this displays fine
                catch(Exception e){}
                Locale locale = new Locale("zh", "HK");
          ResourceBundle resource = ResourceBundle.getBundle("test.MessagesBundle", locale);
                System.out.println(resource.getString("Hey"));      //this will display weird characterso it seems like to me that I must did something wrong in the process of creating properties file from unicode text file...

Displaying UTF-8 characters

Hello all - I'm having a bit of trouble with my current project. I'm adding international support to it, I have an XML file with all the translated strings in UTF-8 format. I read it in using the following code:
          InputStream in = new FileInputStream(name);
          InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(in,"UTF8");
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
          StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
          String line = new String();
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null){
               buf.append(line);
               buf.append('\n');
          return buf.toString();The string buffer is then sent off to be chopped up and parsed and displayed. However, for all non-latin characters, I get a question mark in a diamond. this code works in a very similar project, so I'm unsure why it is not working now, when almost all the program components are the same.
Any ideas?
thanks!
Jake

So the only thing that has changed is the operating system on which you are running this system?
If that's the case then it's possible that you were (accidentally or otherwise) converting between bytes and strings using the default charset on the non-Apple machine, and this happened to work for some reason. And on the Apple machine perhaps the default charset is different, and that applecart (sorry!) got upset.
And have you checked that you can actually display non-ASCII characters on your GUI setup from a simple program where you just hard-code those characters?
