Engraving with a unicode character

didn't know where the best place to ask this question was...
i'm about to replace my 5th gen ipod with an 80GB ipod classic. i want to get it engraved with a unicode character (ॐ), but when i type it into the "Line 1" field it doesn't show up. It shows up as a question mark (?). Is this just on the website, or will it actually engrave as a question mark. I really want to make sure it engraves with what i want since i can't return engraved items.
Please and thank you

Hi Mexigerm,
Accented and other special characters, including "~*\, cannot be used in your iPod engraving or gift message.
Unfortunately your character is also included on the list.
If you proceed with the engraving, a question mark will appear... Sorry!
Hope this helps!

Parsing XML with invalid Unicode Character

Hi,
I have developed an application which has an XML as Input. Sometimes the XML I receive has not valid Unicode Characters so I get an Exception as follows for each wrong character.
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: An invalid XML
character (Unicode: 0xa9) was found in the element content of the document. - Ex
ception
How Can I parse the Input XML for getting only valid characters? Thank you.

You are not receiving valid XML. Your parser will assume that the XML file is encoded using UTF-8, unless its header specifies otherwise. Contact the person who sent you the XML and get it fixed. (Often people produce XML containing accented letters from various European languages; in the case the correct encoding is often ISO-8859-1.)

Essbase studio unicode character issue

Hi all,
We are facing issues in Essbase Studio when records with unicode character is encountered.
E.g. We have a field like City BUCUREȘTI with a unicode character. So when the record with this filed comes, it concatenates the part of the filed (City BUCURE) before the special character to the next record and the next record gets rejected. So we are seeing the below error in the logs :
\\Record #1060 - Incorrect Syntax For Member City BUCURECountry ZA H668207 A676477
We are deploying it as Unicode application
Details : Source database : Teradata 13
Essbase - 11.1.2.2
We are using streaming mode and dynamic ODBC and deploying unicode application.
Has anybody faced this issue and can help me?
Many thanks.

Are you definitely sure that is not an issue with the syntax of the deploy command, are you saying the Maxl works when running it from the Essbase Studio Server?
Cheers

Need a fast implement: Unicode character support

Dear Primavera Developer Team,
We are in urgent need for a full range of Unicode character support in P6. Our customers in Vietnam really interested in P6 but problem remain when we want to input our language into the software. A strange thing is that with Primavera Contract Mangement we have no issue with those Unicode character but P6 both thick client and web app do not support so. It is a pain for us.
Hope you consider this as soon as possible :((

Offtopic, but did you know feh has a right click menu? Rotation is in this menu.
Oh yes, I do know the right click. but I guess I never looked hard enough for the rotation as I do it very infrequently. Thanks for the tip.
How would I set feh, so that when I double click a image file, feh would start up and show that image? If I can get that (and I haven't tried that yet), I guess I can get rid of mirage then.
That's not an feh config, that's a config for whatever file manager you are using. I'm not sure of the options you'd need to pass feh because I always run it on the command line.

Hello Steve,
Firstly, you cannot install Outlook with Exchange because they share certain dll files.
About the EMS question, I suggest we try rebuilding the powershell virtual directory. If it still does not work, check the application log for more referernce.

Easiest way to create a string with a unicode supplimentary character

In my code I had previously been declaring some strings such as:
String s = "\u1234";Now I have gotten to a point where I want to use a supplimentary unicode character like this:
String s = "\u12345";This, however, does not work since Java only allows for characters in the range: 0000 - FFFF.
I've been reading over this whole codepoint thing in the Character docs but I'm still confused. What's the easiest way to make a string that contains the unicode character U+12345 (just an example number)?

This article here:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/Supplementary/
says <quote>For text input, the Java 2 SDK provides a code point input method which accepts strings of the form "\Uxxxxxx", where the uppercase "U" indicates that the escape sequence contains six hexadecimal digits, thus allowing for supplementary characters.</quote>
I believe it is referring to Java 5, although I don't see where it says that. However if you are dealing with supplementary characters it might be a good idea for you to move to Java 5 because of its improved support for them.

Error when import file with non-english character

Hi,<br /><br />I have images file with non-english character (unicode), for example ABC<X>.png where <X> is non-english character such as japanese, chinese, etc.<br /><br />Whenever I want to import the file to After Effects (right click -> import -> file), I always encounter error:<br /><br />Finding file/dir info for the file "C:\...\ABC?.png" -- file not found (-43) (3::30)<br />Can't import file "ABC?.png": unsupported filetype or extension. (0::1)<br /><br />My PC is Windows XP Professional 2002 SP2 English.<br /><br />How to solve this problem?<br /><br />Thanks

Adjust your system language settings. Proper file name conventions require a consistent Unicode environment, so install the respective foreign language support files or switch the language system-wide. Mixing different zones/ code ranges is always a bad idea. If your system is not in Japanese, AE will always misinterpret the characters and refuse to import. If that's not feasible, simply rename the files.

Unicode character not displaying when PDF is created using PDFMaker

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Our company letterhead contains a special character (Unicode 25AA "Black Small Square"). When a PDF is created of a Microsoft Word document (2003 or 2007) using the PDFMaker, that character is not displayed in Acrobat (shows as whitespace). Strangely enough, if I search for the character in that PDF file using the Acrobat search function (query "u/25AA"), the search finds the character, but again, it is displayed as whitespace.
However, if I create a PDF from that same Word document by printing to Adobe PDF, the character displays correctly in Acrobat. Additionally, if I do a SaveAs to PDF (Using the Microsoft plugin), the character displays correctly in Acrobat. This leads me to believe that muy issue is related to the PDFMaker (as opposed to the PDF printing function) and how the character is embedded into the PDF file. I have tried opening the PDF in other versions of Acrobat, but I get the same result.
Any suggestions? We would like to utilize the convenience of the PDFMaker for our letters and reports, and not have to use the print function. I can email a sample of all the PDF's I spoke of upon request, but the issue should be reproducable using the following steps:
1. Open MS Word and type (or copy from the Character Map) unicode character 25AA in Arial font.
2. Save Word file.
3. Use PDFMaker to create PDF file.
4. Open PDF file and view results.
Any guidance or help is appreciated.
Phil Hinton

First, check the fonts in the PDF to be sure that they are not embedded (you are likely correct that there is a problem). What job settings are you using. Try the press or print. Also check the job settings to be sure that ALL fonts are to be embedded.
Also, check the log file of Distiller (set it to not be deleted in the settings). If there is an issue with the license of the font then the font will not be embedded. In that case you need to find a licensed version of the font or change to a different font.

Display Unicode Character in Swing Objects

I am trying to display Chinese Characters using Swing GUI.
I created Unicode strings using escape character \uXXXX
I displayed \u4e00 successfully
However when I tried to display \ub8db i got a square box displayed instead.
I am using: Winnt ver 4 ,RichWin 97
private Object listData[] = {
new String("\ucfe3\ub8db"), // Two boxes displayed in list
new String("\u4e01\u4e00"), // Characters displayed correctly
new String("Third selection")
To hope to get some replies ASAP. Thanks!!!

Hi Patrick,
Yeh, fonts are rather ubiquitous when it comes to internationalization. The fact that the font.properties files still exist confuses a lot of people. In reality, Sun doesn't support them any more, and they aren't all that useful if you're actually deploying your code onto other machines.
So, to answer your questions... :D
1) Each component will have a font set on it. To start with, each component will end up with the JDK default, usually the Dialog font in Java. From memory, I think this maps to Arial on Windows systems, though I'm not sure if RichWin alters this in anyway, as I haven't used it myself.
You can check the available fonts on your machine by calling:
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
This returns an array of strings. You can basically create a new font from any of the names that appear in here. For instance, if one of the strings was "Arial Bold", you could create the following font:
Font myFont = new Font("Arial Bold", Font.PLAIN, 12);
2) The best way is to simply create the font you want on startup. If you can't rely on the font
you need being installed on every machine you plan to run your program on, the best solution is to either install it on startup, or carry it around with you.
Have a look at Font.createFont(), as it allows you to create a new Font object from a *.TTF file (a TrueType font). In JDK1.3, this is buggy, leaving a large temp file behind every time you run it, but I've already tried this under Merlin Beta, and it's fixed and working fine.
The reason this is handy is because the font we keep talking about on here, Arial Unicode MS, is a TrueType font. So you can carry the font around with you, and load it on startup using this call.
Arial Unicode MS is a 23Mb font, but it's capable of displaying just about any character you could imagine.
The trick from there, once you've loaded your font, is to make sure you call setFont() on just about any component you create. Menus are a cow - you've got to listen for events, as the dropdown menus don't always get the font straight away. But other than that, it's fairly simple.
3) The short answer is to call the getAvailableFontFamilyNames() call above, and look for any familiar font names. If you can't find any, you know you're not going to be able to display anything.
Windows seems to have standard fonts for the international languages. In Chinese, this is SimHei for Simplified (mainland) Chinese, and MingLiU for Traditional (Taiwanese) Chinese. Simplified covers about 30,000 Kanji, while Traditional covers around 80,000.
So for Chinese, you would look for "SimHei" and "MingLiU", plus any of the fonts capable of displaying anything, like "Arial Unicode MS". If none of these strings are in the array, you may want to carry the Arial Unicode MS installer around with you and execute it. This file is about 11Mb, and is available as a download off the Microsoft website.
4) Probably about the most useful thing I've come across is the Sun I18N tutorial on this very website. There isn't a heck of a lot out there, unfortunately. About the only other things I can recommend are http://www.unicode.org for the Unicode character codes, and http://www.njstar.com for NJStar Communicator, which you'll find useful if you're working with Chinese.
Oh, and watch this forum, of course. ;D
Hope that helps!

** Plz help me in displaying unicode character **

Hi,
I hava a problem with the following code. Actually I want to display some arabic character with the help of unicode. Plz go through the following code.
import java.awt.*;
class Unicode extends Frame
public static void main(String args[])
Frame f = new Frame("Unicode");
f.setSize(200,200);
String str="\u0600";
TextField tf=new TextField(str);
f.add(tf);
f.setVisible(true);
I m trying to print that character on a textfield. However, this is not the requirement but for only testig purpose. I get the character '?' in the resulting textfield. plz tell me that how can I use unicode to print other languages character anywhere like on awt, swing or in html. plz reply soon . Thanks
Fahad Ahmed

\u0600 is an unassigned Unicode character, so there's no way to do that. However I assume you mean you want to display Arabic characters such as \u0627, Arabic Letter Alef (&#x0627). Then you need to find a font that can render those characters properly, and assign that font to the TextField using its setFont() method.
I notice you are using AWT, which probably means you are trying to do this in an applet. If that's the case then "find a font and use it" is going to be a big problem, because you don't know what fonts your clients' computers have available.

Problems with Forms and character encoding

I'm having problems trying to read unicode data inputted into a Form on my JSP page.
I've used the meta tag <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> to set the charset of the page to UTF-8. I've inputted some chinese characters inot my form and when I try to read the subsequent request parameter in my servlet using request.getParameter() the string returned is this
"来源" which is the escape sequence required by HTML to display these characters.
From what I've read on the subject this doesn't seem like the expected value. I've tried other ways of getting the correct string value such as setting the character encoding request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") and then converting the bytes using this encoding value but it doesn't seem to work.
I could write a method to split up the string using the ; as a token and working out the correct unicode character but this doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
Any help on how to pass the correct information from the Form in the JSP page to the servlet would be greatly appreciated

I don't believe that is correct, but if it's returning HTML escapes instead of URL Encoded characters, then it's the browser doing it. This is my test page for playing with Chinese...
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

String str = "\u7528\u6237\u540d";
String name = request.getParameter("name");

Issue related to Unicode character compatibility

Request for the help on the issue related to Unicode character compatibility with Oracle 11G R2 32 Bit DB.
Issue description: I have created a Profile in my application and named it with Unicode characters(German\Russian\Latvian…. alphabets), while opening the profile its throwing an error message “Invoice profile cannot be found in database.”
During the Oracle database installation I have selected the Database character set as Unicode UTF-8. As per our application guide it considers only the Database characterset and not the National character set.
Let me know if I have to still do some additional settings with respect to this globalization settings.
Thanks,
Brij

I don't know what the application does, so I don't also know the profile role and what - exactly - can't be found in the database. At least 'a invoice profile' is not a native Oracle object.
So it's not possible to analyze the application problem.
On the database side characterset UTF8 (although I would prefer the 'newer' AL32UTF8 characterset) is appropriate in a globalized environment. What to do in the interaction between application and database - that depends highly on the application itself.

Unicode Character Resembling the Logo of Arch Linux?

I would like to find a Unicode character that looks like the logo of Arch to decorate the terminal.
The best I've found is ᐱ, but I wonder if there is a better candidate.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, I think that could be useful. Any more information please?
Just use one of the proposed fonts. Otherwise you could extract the logo from the black arch svg, upload it to icomoon.io and create your own font with an arch logo glyph.

No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page

hi,
i have an issue with sharepoint 2013 and IE 10.
im using the sharepoint rest web service and make an ajax data call to retrive data from sharepoint lists, the call fail and return a server error: "No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page".
i have to say that everything works fine with chrome and firefox.
what can i do for fixing it?
Thanks a lot
alon

Hi,
From your description, I know you get an issue with IE 10 in SharePoint 2013 when you use SharePoint REST API to retrieve data from SharePoint list.
I am not quite sure what cause your issue. Could you provide your code, so I could test it in my environment and troubleshoot for you.
In addition, you could test your issue in another computer or another version of IE.
