Displaying Unicode (Kannada) characters in HTMLEditor/ TextArea

Dear All,
I am newbie to JavaFX and also to java desktop ui applications. Was trying to create a simple text editor in Kannada but was unable to display the Kannada text in the editor. However, I gave the stage a Kannada title and that was displayed. Is there anything special I need to do (like setting encoding or something) to have the editor display Kannada fonts? Please help. Here is the code that I have written:
Group root = new Group();
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 600, Color.WHITE);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setTitle("ಅಚ್ಚು ಕಲಿ"); // This text is displayed in the title of the window
HTMLEditor editor = new HTMLEditor();
editor.setHtmlText("ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಯಿರಿ"); // This text shows up as boxes
root.getChildren().add(editor);
primaryStage.show();
Please help!
Thanks,
Sandeep.

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.

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

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,

Displaying unicode characters

Dear all,
I am currently dealing with a character displaying problem on the MAM.
We will soon go live in China. Until now we only had European countries, with a Latin alphabet.
Now however this changes, so we need to use Unicode to display all characters correctly.
Therefor I have converted all our custom language files to language files with Unicode escape characters.
e.g.:
EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=设备材料号码
Now the strange thing is that when we login in Chinese, everything is displayed correctly, but when we login in German or Polish (countries which also have some special characters), we don't see everything displayed correctly.
This is the code how we display an entry from the language file on the screen:
<%@page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text-html; charset=UTF-8"
<jsp:useBean id="res" class="com.sap.ip.me.api.services.MEResourceBundle" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<%=PageUtil.ConvertISO8859toUTF8(res.getString("CONFIRMATIONS_HEADER_DETAIL"))%>
For Chinese language, the characters are displayed correctly in this way.
e.g.: 最后一次同步时间
However Polish characters and German characters are not (always) displayed correctly.
e.g.: WskaÅºnik pierwszego usuniÄu2122cia usterki
The only 'difference' that I can see is that for China, every character in the language file has a special Unicode notation, while for Polish and German characters, only the special characters are displayed in special Unicode notation.
e.g.:
EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=Numer materia\u00c5‚u sprz\u00c4™tu
FYI, I've converted the files to Unicode escape characters with the java util native2ascii.exe.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve this issue?
Thanks already in advance!
Best regards,
Diederik

Dear all,
I've found the reason for this problem.
Thanks anyway for your time!
The problem was that when converting the language files to Unicode escape characters, the source format was wrong. The files where saved as UTF-8, but the JAVA tool native2ascii is not taking UTF-8 as standard input format. So the resulting Unicode file was not containing the correct Unicode characters.
I've re-generated the language files with the parameter -encoding UTF-8, and now everything is displayed correctly!
Have a good day!

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...

How to display UNICODE characters in a Widget control

Hi,
I am working on a widget. Some of the contents (descriptions) are Chinese.
How to display these Chinese characters in a Widget control. I am currently using Table as the control for this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram.

You don't need to use CIDFonts and CMaps for Cyrillic (though you can). The crucial thing to realise is that displaying Latin1 (that is, English and related text) leaves you in a very simple corner of PDF. Doing anything with other encodings instantly makes a project more complex, perhaps 10 times more complex. Far eastern fonts perhaps 10 times more complex again.
The principle is the same for all of them. To use any character you need
1. A font containing that character. PDF has built in fonts containing Latin1, such as Helvetica, but there is no such luxury for other encodings.
2. The right (license) to embed the font.
3. The technical ability to embed the font. In many case this isn't just a case of embedding a file as a stream, but also you need to analyse the tables in the font, and sometimes trim or modify them.
4. An encoding for the font.
5. Text streams which use character positions in the encoding to show the text.
Basically you need to read and read and reread the chapter on text, and its references (such as font formats). This will become your constant friend or tormenter for the many months of the project.
If you don't like the sound of that, or it doesn't make ecomomic sense to do that, there are many PDF libraries which have taken the necessary months or years to do this.

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,

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,
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.

How to display unicode string in alv

Hi,guys, I came accross one problem on displaying unicode string in alv rows.
some string like this: \u591c\u9e23\u732a , They are displayed directly in alv. Actually, they are some chinese characters.

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 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 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).

SOAP error "Unicode supplemental characters encountered in parameter"..!!

Hi All,
Scenario: Webservice (SOAP)--> XI --> SAP
We are facing some problem with chinese characters while sending the soap call.
The webservice receiving error in the Soap fault as
" FAILED TO INVOKE WEB SERVICE OPERATION OS_Sales Could not call Web service operation OS_Sales. Unicode supplemental characters encountered in parameter 1 (11839)".
Is there any where I can get rid of this?
Thanks
Deepthi

Hi,
try this - find the character encoding of your chinese characters.......for this take the data and view it in internet explorer and then from menu view - encoding see the encoding used to view it properly....or you can ask your SOAP application guys the character encoding of your chinese characters......
Then in sender SOAP comm channel, in module tab, add the following in module configuration section:
Module Key Parameter.name Parameter.value
soap XMBWS.XMLEncoding <your_encoding>
where <your_encoding> is the encoding scheme of your chinese characters something like iso-<some_number>
Then rerun your scenario.
