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?

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,

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,
waseem

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.

I cannot display unicode

I am new to java programming and I have a sample program which display a unicode characrer as below
class checkCharacterLiterals{
     public void main static(String[] arguments){
          String testString;
          testString="Madura Makalandana\u2122";
          System.out.println(testString);
the \u2122 for displaying the TM character. But when the program runs, it display another unknown character. Please advice for me

You can't display unicode in a console/terminal/dos window unless the console/terminal/dos window supports it. You are using System.out.println... if you want to see the text, create a JTextArea or something to append the text to.

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.

Firefox will no longer display Unicode symbols after update?

I am using Firefox on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Just about two Firefox updates ago (roughly Firefox 14), Unicode symbols suddenly stopped displaying that had been displaying fine—switching to boxes with numbers in them.
I have changed my Encoding options to include every single form of Unicode available to me; I am not sure if that has any effect. (Screenshot here: http://puu.sh/QcF6 ) The best part? After doing so, restarting the browser makes the Unicode symbols appear again! No more boxes with numbers! Fixed, right?
''Nope''! When I come back to that page a week later, they are numbers in a box again. In fact, in some cases, the symbol will display temporarily (say, if I had saved it into a blog page), then when I go to edit that blog page, the symbol immediately switches back to box-with-numbers.
This is driving me mad, and was not previously an issue. What can I do to fix this?

Sorry for the late reply, I was waiting for the issue to re-occur. I have cleared and checked for damaged fonts, to no avail; the problem still exists. :(
'''Edit:''' In addition, I've just checked in both Chrome and Safari, and the Unicode symbol that I'm attempting to display are working fine in both of those browsers.

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

How to display unicode values in file to corresponding characters

Hello Java-ians !
Could you please calrify my doubt ! I am able to generate unicode values for arbic, russian characters. I did it by generating a UTF-8 format file and I used native2ascii tool to generate unicode values. No I am unable to dispaly the characters. I read the file using FileReader and used JTextFiled.setText method to redisplay the characters. Instead of displaying the corresponding character, I am getting only unicode values. Why it's happening ?
Also could you plese tell me how ResourceBundle works ? It reads the unicode values and displays proper charcters, how ?
Please help me ! I need it desperately !
Martin Sunder Singh D.S.

you have to do like this:
FileInputStream fos = new FileInputStream(new File("japanies.out"));
BufferedReader bw = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fos,"UTF8"));
System.out.println(bw.readLine());
bw.close();

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 ...?

[SOLVED] Conky Not Displaying Unicode Characters Correctly

I have some music that requires unicode characters in order to be displayed properly. The artist name is Röyksopp, but it is displayed like this:
http://i.imgur.com/rRBDxZn.png
Does anyone know how to either make it display correctly (Röyksopp), or at least remove the umlauts to make it almost correct(Royksopp)? I've set the locale, so it displays correctly in both i3bar and urxvt, but it had no effect on conky.
EDIT: Here is my conkyrc.

I know that this font works because I tried it in urxvt and it displayed correctly.
Also, I tried "override_utf8_locale yes" and it still was incorrect.
