Encoding or font problem? Simplified Chinese characters

Would be great if someone could help!
I don't know much about Dreamweaver but trying to use it to create an invitation in Chinese. I tried to edit a template I used for an English invitation. But when I preview it in IE, some characters become weird but some are fine. I tried to use different fonts to test, and set different encoding from Edit > Preference. But nothing really changes. I have attached the file in IE. Anyone knows what's wrong?
Thanks a ton!

The only help I can offer is a post made by David Powers to a similar question some time ago:
Change the page encoding. Modify > Page properties > Encoding. Depending
on the type of Chinese, choose Chinese Traditional (normally used in
Taiwan and Hong Kong) and Chinese Simplified (used in the People's
Republic).

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!

Input Simplified Chinese Characters into Microsoft Powerpoint

Please help!
What's the easiest way to put Simplified Chinese Characters into Microsoft Powerpoint???
I have a mandarin project due like in a week, and I've been trying to find out how to do this on a mac. I've tried the international thing on preferences, but it doesn't work very well, and doesn't even work on powerpoint. Any help would be awesome!!!!
Cheers!

the characters turn out as wierd symbols
You should really have no problem with Office 2004. You might make sure you have the MS Chinese Fonts selected for your text field (SimSun.ttf and PMingLiU.ttf. They appear in the Font menu as 宋体 and 新細明體.)
Send me a screenshot if you like (tom at bluesky dot org).
If problems continue, you can ask in the Chinese-Mac group:
http://groups.google.com/group/chinesemac/
or the MS PowerPoint group:

IPad Emails received in Outlook with Garbled Simplified Chinese Characters

My iPad users sent emails to Outlook(2003,2007) users but Simplified Chinese characters are all not readable!
The same email sent from Motorola smartphone has no such issue.
I report the case to Apple support on Nov. 3 and heard nothing until now.

Hi all, sorry for opening an old thread.. I also experience the same issues. Does anyone know whether this problem have been resolved?
If you are having the same issue, the answer is "no". You could try to switch the OS language to Chinese and see if that makes a difference. The iPad has no way to select the encoding of outgoing messages, any adjustment necessary has to be made at the other end.

Simplified Chinese characters in iGrid

Hi,
Does anyone know how to insert simplified Chinese characters in the headings of an iGrid applet.
Thanks,
Ahmed

Thanks Sam,
However the iGrid editor does not take in Chinese characters. When I pasted the Chinese characters in the headings fields of the layout pane of the iGrid editor they came out as little boxes. Even after saving the template and viewing it in IE they still came out as little boxes.
I opened up the saved template's XML file in a unicode editor pasted the Chinese characters for the headers then changed the font from the default Dialog to SimSun. SimSun is not one of the fonts available in the dropdown list of fonts in the iGrid editor. I then saved the XML file and re-viewed in IE and the Chinese characters displayed properly.

Ahmed

Simplified Chinese Characters

Hi,
What do I need in order for my application be able to store and retrieve simplified chinese characters in MS. Access?
thank you in advance

Possible answer: using Font key combos.
- for instance the combination 'x$#' may produce a chinese character that can be stored on the DB in the western font and then rendered by;-
myTextArea.setFont(chinese);
Hope that may help ...

Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters couldn't be displayed!

Hi all,
Recently I installed an Oracle 9i Database Server (9.0.1).
Problem regarding the globalization support issue was encountered after the installation of Oracle 9i Database Server. Parameters in NLS table had been checked that the language is initially set to AMERICAN, territory is set to AMERICA and the character set is UTF8.
Since traditional and simplified chinese characters must be required for the HK server, it is believed that the above parameters should be altered to TRADITIONAL CHINESE / SIMPLIFIED CHINESE, HONG KONG and ZHT16MSWIN950 / ZHS16CGB231280 respectively.
I tried to alter the NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS, but its not working; should the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS be changed instead? I also tried this one, changes is taken place but the chinese characters still couldn't be displayed, just bunches of 亂碼 (meaningless codes) instead.
Another piece of information is that the Oracle server is installed on the basis of Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, should the Language for non-Unicode programs (which is in the Advanced page of the Regional and Language Settings) be configured to Chinese (HKSAR)? Various combinations, in terms of English (US), Chinese (HKSAR), Chinese (PRC), Chinese (Taiwan), had been taken turns to test for the results. However, same results happened.
Hence, how should we configure? Please advice us.
P.S.# It is known that this question should be placed in the "Globalization Support" forum, I have done that; however, it is hoped that I could seek more advice in here.
Thx in advance.
Karen

Karen,
Setting up such an environment requires some sophistication and know how. I would advise reading though the Globalization Support Guide and som of the papers on the Globalization Home Page http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/index.html
before randomly attempting to change parameters. If your requirement is to store and retrieve both TRADITIONAL and SIMPLIFIED CHINESE then your database needs to be Unicode (UTF-8). Designing an application that allows you to easily access multilingual data requires careful design and planning. If you are simply trying to quickly display data you have in your database you might want to use iSQL*PLUS which is browser based and will allow you to display Unicode data. It might also be helpful to take a look at the following paper: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/globalization-best-practices.PDF

Simplified Chinese characters changed

Dear sir,
We are using SAP 4.6B with code page 8300 (ZF). I know we cannot recognize simplified Chinese characters, but we still can receive them and store them into our table without change any codes when our client transmit data from EDI. But recently we started to use webMethods 6.0 to receive XML messages from our client. When they send XML with simplified Chinese characters to us, we found the characters saving in our table are different from those characters in webMethods. We don't know what system changed the characters, we had debug webMethods, the characters are OK before call RFC, but after call RFC, the contents in table are different. Our XML is using UTF-8, and the settings in webMethods is 'EN' for SAP logon.
Thanks for your response, please tell us how to fix the error or what configuration should be done, thanks!
Joanne Wu

Joanne,
I think the answer lies in your question itself. Can you try the SAP logon with ZF languange. Is there any testriction for using that? Most probably it sould work.
Best wishes,
Thomas.

I have got the problem with displaying chinese characters in the webpage after fetching the data from database.
I am using Oracle IAS webserver and oracle 8i as the database which is in UTF-8 characterset.I am getting the out put in the chinese if I use this code.
String value1 = new String(value.getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "GB2312");
I am getting the out put using this code in this format
��
比分卡片 basically this code does that.(String value1 = new String(value.getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "GB2312");)

Newbie: Simplified Chinese characters are displayed as square boxes

Hi,
I am using Windows XP Simplified Chinese Version SP3, Sun JDK5.0 Update 20. I want to run Apache Ofbiz POS; however, the Chinese characters (zh) in PosUiLabels.xml are all displayed as square boxes.
I have tested run Ofbiz in Mac OS X and the Simplified Chinese are displayed normally, and other languages can also be displayed in Windows XP.
What should I do?

Terence

When you say "displayed" I assume you mean displayed in some GUI component. In which case you should assign a font to that component which can render those characters properly.

Problems with Chinese characters

I have a client experiencing 3 distinct problems with their Chinese-localized Fm files:
The SimSun TTF font used in the source Fm files is "uninstalling" itself. This requires reinstallation of the font on a regular basis (every few days).
The colons used in index markers in the Fm source files are not being parsed as Level1IX, Level2IX, etc. in the RoboHelp project. Instead, they are recognized as colons. In other words, the first level marker in Rh is XXXXXXXX:XXXXXXX:XXXXXXX. The same is true for the semicolons.
The conversion settings for the Chinese project do not allow for mapping to individual CSS elements and classes. This means that all of the formatting is controlled via the supplemental CSS generated from the FrameMaker formatting. IOW, the formatting all uses the class="FM_ definitions.
Has anyone had success working with Chinese characters in a FrameMaker to RoboHelp workflow (either linking or importing)?
Anyone else seen any of these issues in Chinese or any other fonts?
I'm thinking the first two issues are likely due to the TrueType font used, but can't find an Adobe OTF SimSans font to use as a replacement.
However, the lack of mapping capability in the conversion process is a stumper...perhaps due to the double-byte font itself.
Any thoughts or solutions are greatly appreciated by my client (whose deadline passed yesterday!)
-Matt

I dont think you can print chinese chars at the console on window
to print the character codes to the console use someting like that
char [] chars = request.getParameter("whatever").toCharArray()
for(each chars){
System.out.println((int)chars);
then check if you got the corresponding chinese char

Problem fetching Chinese Characters over DB Link

Hi,
I'm currently fetching data from SQL Server 2005 through a DB Link I created in my Oracle XE 11g. Some of these data are in Chinese Characters.
When doing a SELECT statement from the table using SQL Developer, it shows me ?????. When doing the same SELECT directly to the SQL Server using MS SQL Server Management Studio, it shows the correct character in Chinese.
Is there a setting so that I can properly fetch the data in my Oracle Database?

It appears that you have a data display problem & I am not convinced that it has anything to do with XE;
just SQL Developer.
When was the last time SQL Developer properly displayed Chinese characters?Hi,
I've never had any chance to view Chinese characters before in SQL Developer. This is my first attempt.
EDIT: I tried the following SELECT statement in SQL Developer and it seems to display the Chinese character just fine.
select unistr('\8349') from dual;So I'm guessing the problem was while I was trying to fetch the data from the SQL Server DB.The data is good in the SQLServer DB & SQL Developer can display when it gets them.
so problem is with the ODBC between the two systems.

[internationalization] problems with Chinese characters

Hi everybody.
I'm working on a program and i'd like to translate it into several languages. Until now I've managed to launch my program in 3 languages : French, English and German. I do it by asking the user which language he'd like to select by means of a JComboBox. Then the right Locale is selected and the right text is called by the RessourceBundle and so on .... Actually I've encountered no problems with "latin lettered" languages.
I also tried to introduce Chinese in my program and that's how problems come in. The way Chinese is introduced in the program is exactly the same that of French, English and German. The .properties file I use is MyRessourcesMainTitle_zh.properties and one line is stored in it: title = 中文
However when I run the program and selected Chinese as language an error pops up in the DOS console : "Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.MissingRessourceException : Can't find ressource for bundle java.util.PropertyRessourceBundle, key title".
I would like to point out that I saved my *.properties in a former *.txt file encoded in Unicode. Saving it encoded either in Unicode big endian or in UTF8 ends with the same problem. However the program ran just fine when I encoded it in ANSI but it's worthless insofar as the Chinese characters are transformed into "?".
Would anyone have an idea about how to implement sucessfully Chinese characters in my program ?

Problems displaying Chinese characters

Safari cannot display Chinese characters from time to time. It would work in one session but it failed to display Chinese characters in another session even with the same settings in the Preferences. Can anyone give me some advice please?

The preferences don't necessarily matter. You most likely need to adjust the encoding in View > Text Encoding. If you will provide the url of an example page where you have a problem I can probably offer more specific help.

you need to write the code for adding the receipents, subject and adding this "attachment " as an attachment to the mail.
Hope this will helps to you....,
