Displaying unicode chars in title of jdialog

hello, I am developing application that has several dialogs. For each of these dialogs, I would like to display unicode characters in the title. Can some one please help me out and direct me on what I should to do make this work? All other controls on these dialogs can display i18n text fine, except the dialogs' title and I just can't figure this out. Please help. Thanks in advance.

The latest J2RE 1.4.2_03 can display Unicode characters that are not necessarily supported by your host's ANSI character set. Set the font of the frame appropriately, and give it a try with a newer VM.

Display Unicode Chars in text box

This seems like it should be simple enough, but apparently, I am dense...
I want to display a Unicode char in a text box based on its hex code input. For instance, given x2190, I want to display a Left Arrow in a text box (x2190 is the code for left arrow). I tried Flatten To String function then wiring the string to a text box with Force Unicode set, but that doesnt work.
Or is there a simpler way to get non-ascii chars like arrows and such to display? Next stop is little bmps in a picture ring...ack
TIA

Running app doesn't display unicode chars

So far, i didn't care about character encodings. When i setup a string in java i just used my special characters, like e.g. the german umlauts:
String text = "�usserlich �berhaupt nicht sch�n."; //html: Äusserlich überhaupt nicht schön Then i changed the file encoding in my IDE (eclipse) to UTF-8. The first time i reloaded my source files, i had to replace my texts by retyping my special charaters in the source. I thought that would have been enough.
But now, such text doesn't display anymore in a Swing component like a JTextField - instead the special characters are replaced by weird (sometimes multiple) other characters.
The only workaround i've found so far is, to replace all special characters in my source code with the corresp�onding unicode code character "\uxxxx" (backslash + u + 4 chars). But then this would be a step back writing text in the source code. I thought it would be easier to use Unicode ...?

Trouble with Unicode Chars

Hi all,
I am having trouble displaying Unicode chars both in an Applet and in the command prompt window. I am using awt. The characters I want to display are: \u2228, \u2283, \u2261. These characters display correctly from AppletViewer when I add them to ChoiceBoxes, they display correctly in some browsers (isn't Unicode fairly universal by now? Do most browsers support it?), but not correctly when I try to put them into a TextField, using this simple code:
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.getKeyChar() == '/') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2228');
if(e.getKeyChar() == '.') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2283');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
if(e.getKeyChar() == ',') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2261');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Er, forgot to mention, the chars display as either a
black bar, sort of a square, This happens when there is no suitable font for the codepoint, and the system doesn't know how to convert a codepoint to another codepoint for which there is a suitable font. The latter mechanism allow to use non-unicode fonts with unicode chars.
a question mark, That's possibly another issue. '?' usually appears while
converting chara�ter into bytes, specifically if an encoding doesn't have an appropriate rule for a particular character.
For example, the "Cp1251" encoding knows nothing of Greek characters, and so converts them into ?'s.
Such conversion may occur when a java string is passed
into a native window system, because such systems often are non-unicode.
and an equal signCompletely illegal behaviour, usually occurs in very old JVM's.
Note that Swing is always correct with unicode.

Problem Displaying Japanese chars in MIDlet

Hi,
I want to internationalize my MIDlet application.
For that I am using ResourceBundle ,it works fine with J2ME kit.I know it works fine because Jdk1.3 supports displaying unicode characters.I think KVM doesn't support unicode characters.If anybody knows something then please reply immediately.
Regards
Vivek

[vivek_kurundkar],
Currently MIDP v1.0 only states that the ISO Latin 1 character encoding must be supported by all MIDP implementation i.e. mandatory to support the ISO Latin 1 char encoding but not all other locales.
The locale is defined in the microedtion.locale system proprety and localization must be provided by the implementation i.e. for example the device manufacturer who provides the kVM for their device.
In your case, you have a need for the Japanese locale and thus the emulator/kVM of the device must provide the Japanese locale.
Which kVM emulator/device are you testing your CLDC/MIDP application with?

Display unicode characters?

It seems pointless to take a string which is only meaningful to a Java compiler and to try to use it outside that context. It would be far more practical to use an existing encoding to convert the string to bytes, rather than inventing an unsupported encoding which requires extra code to be written and which requires more than twice as much storage as any supported encoding.
However if somebody has already decided to do that and you are stuck with implementing their decision, then drop the first two characters and use Integer.parseInt(string, 16) on the remainder to convert it from hexadecimal to a number.

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,

SQL Developer & Unicode Chars

Running SQL Developer on Windows XP.
Tool looks good, just one thing, we have Japanese/Korean text (not much at the moment) in our Oracle 9i/Oracle 10g (AL32UTF8)
When I run the query in the sql editor, the chars appear as small rectangles.
Exporting this as XML and loading into an XML viewer (like IE), all the chars appear fine.
When I copy the text from the data results grid and paste into the sql editor window (after tweaking the prefs), the chars appear fine.
so I am wondering ... how can I get the text in the data grid to show the Japanese text ?
Is there a setting I have missed ? or would this be an enhancement ?
We will be storing more and more international chars and having a tool capable of viewing it would be something we have not found in other tools we have trialed.

In the Prefs -> Environment, ... set encoding to UTF-8
In the Prefs -> Code Editor -> Fonts ... set to "Arial Unicode MS"
Method 1 :
Open a SQL Worksheet
Tap in the sql, when executing the sql with the <F9> key, japanese text is displayed as small rectangles.
When I cut-and-paste the text into the window where the SQL Statement is typed in, I can see the Japanese chars.
Method 2 :
On the connections panel, goto "Other Users", navigate to the table that contains the unicode chars.
Double click on tablename in the left panel, this brings up a "toad like" display, the second tab is the "Data" tab,
and the unicode data is displayed as miniature rectangles.
I am unable to find a setting (in the Prefs) to set the font for the grid the data is displayed in

Unicode in the Title bar of JFrame

Hi
I have a unicode application and I am using the font Arial Unicode MS. I want to show unicode charecters in the title of my JFrame. I am able to show unicode chars in all other controls except for the title of the main JFrame.
I read several posts on the forum and came to an understanding that, the title bar of the JFrame is controlled by the OS.
So I changed the fonts used in my windows also to Arial Unicode MS. But still I see only ??? in place of unicode characters.
Need urgent help.
Thanks

}1. You have to use a LAF that draws its own title bar. If your platform is drawing your title bar, you'll
have to go the JNI route :-(
2. If you have a menu bar, it'll be in the layered pane as well, so you'll have to skip over the way
content pane is skipped over...

How to display the HTML File Titles instead of File Names

Hello All,
I want to display the HTML file titles instead of File names in the Search Results. I've tried to give this command in the 'Visible Properties' in the 'SearchResourceRenderer' as:-
Visible Properties: rnd:displayTitle
However this is not working for me. If anyone has an idea of what to pass here or any other alternative to display the Titles.
Regards
Vaib

Summary of steps:
1) Standard Layout Set used: SearchResultLayoutSet
2) Create a new layout set using ADVANCED COPY
3) Change properties as you require
4) Next modify the search OTH file to reflect this newly created Layout Set (under KM > root > etc > oth > search.oth edit xml file property rndLaoutSet from SearchResultLayoutSet to MyCustomSearchResultLayoutSet)
5) Check in the document to complete the editing process if Edit Locally is used!
6) Lastly, activate the OTH file by
     Setting Debugging settings via Debugging Settings
     Performing a normal search
     Clicking Rendering information and then following link OTH Overview click on Reload
7) Reload above reloads the OTH file and performing search again will yield the desired result
8) To turn off the Rendering Information link remove the user id from Debugging Settings.

Displaying Unicode in Sweden

Hi,
I'm trying to get a JTextPane to display Unicode (e.g. Chinese) characters. I'm situated in Sweden so my cup of Java (or something) doesn't seem too happy about it ;).
More specifically, I want to paste a, say, Chinese character into a JTextPane and have it displayed as one and not as a square. Then I want to send it to another JTextPane and have it displayed there.
I've looked at the String and the character is properly encoded there. I've tried to exchange the font.properties file with font.properties.zh_TW but to no good. I've also tried to edit the font.properties file, using the Arial Unicode MS font (which is pre installed on my Windows 2000 OS) and the SYMBOL_CHARSET (instead of simple Arial and ANSI_CHARSET), but that haven't helped me either.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Pelle

The remedy may depend on whether the problem is specific to JTextPane or to any other TextComponent's. Does the method setText(String) work?

Regarding displaying unicode

Hello javaGurus!
<Please Help me regarding displaying unicode>
I am new to javaInternationalization,
Till now i studies. Java Internationalization tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html and understand basic Structure.
I have some problem displaying the unicode characters, such at, Arabic, and japneese.
- How to display unicodes in applet?
- How can we set the the Japneese, English, Arabic fonts in one application, which run on windows environment.
- From where i can get the font s?
Regards,

If you specify a String object with the unicode sequences (of the form "\u####\u####"), you can simply display it with the method setText(String) of the class javax.text.JTextComponent (or javax.JTextArea), for example. If you specify a String object with your own encoding in your source code, you can compile it with the command:
javac -encoding <encodingName> fileName
On Windows OS, the font ArialUnicodeMS will display almost all characters you are to show.
You can find downloadable fonts in almost any search engine.

Displaying unicode or HTML escaped characters from HTTPService in Flex components.

Here is a solution on the Flex Cookbook I developed for
displaying data in Flex components when the data comes back from
HTTPService as unicode of HTML escaped data:
Displaying
unicode or HTML escaped characters from HTTPService in Flex
components.

Hi again Greg,
I have just been adapting your idea for encountering
occasional escaped characters within a body of "normal" text, eg
something like
hellô sun&scaron;ine
Now, the handy String.fromCharCode(charCode) call works a
dream if instead of the above I have
hellô sunšine
Do you know if there is an equivalent call that takes the
named entities rather than the numeric ones? Clearly I can just do
some text substitution to get the mapping, but this means rather
more by-hand work than I had hoped. However, this is definitely a
step in a useful direction for me.
Thanks,
Richard
PS hoping that the web page won't simply outguess me and
replace all the above! Basically, the first line uses named
entities and the second the equivalent numbers...

Problems displaying unicode encodeded characters in components

I'm having problems getting Flash to display unicode that is
imported from XML. In the example below the unicode characters in
the name tag come through in Flash exactly as typed eg: \u00EA
The xml file is written by PHP.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Colortool><Siding><item><type>c</type><id>11</id><name>Rev\u00EAtement
Sp\u00E9cial</name>
etc..
However I've also tried re-saving the file manually in an
editor encoded as UTF-8. Same result.
Setting up a little test like:
temp = "Rev\u00EAtement de premi\u00E8re qualit\u00E9";
trace ("temp: " + temp);
Traces: Revêtement de première qualité as
expected.
Any ideas why it works when the variable is set in Flash, but
not when it's loaded from XML?
Thanks,
Anson

By experimenting and some searching through the net I figured out that you need to set the right font. Kannada can be displayed using Tunga font on windows. But neither HTMLEditor nor TextArea has a setFont() method. Instead I tried with Text.
text.setFont(Font.font("Tunga", 25.0));
This worked partially. For example, if I try printing the character 'ಲಿ' its two component characters 'ಲ ಿ' are getting printed. They are not joining to form one single character 'ಲಿ'. Kannada like other Indic scripts is a complex layout script and I figured out from this post that complex layouts are not yet supported.

How to include unicode chars in text boxes?

Hi,
We need the unicode chars (for example: Chinese, Korean, etc...) to appear in the generated .pdf and .pcl files from the Adobe Output designer's IFD file.
These chars are static and will not change, so we shall not be fetching them from FNF file (.dat).
While trying to copy-paste directly into text box field, we are getting an error prompting for converting them to some other character set.
We couldn't paste them exactly with the text how they should appear in the text boxes.
Please tell us if there is a way to achieve this.
Thanks and regards,
Gurunath
[email protected]

Double check that all of the selected presentation targets and the font being used for the particular text box supports the characters you are trying to paste into it. For example, the PDF target only has 11 fonts available unless you use the other tabs to "create new soft font cartidges". If you have the appropriate fonts installed on you PC you should be able to use this capability to make the font available for each of your presentation targets. (At least that is my impression - I've never needed to try it.)
