Euro Character in CS3

Im using After Effects CS3 Professional and am struggling to get it to show the Euro sign, In previous versions I had no problem at all but now since using CS3 it will just not display the character despite it showing in my Character palette/window. So far I have reinstalled the Adobe Euro font package, installed Adobe light Type Manager but with no success. I used to be able to copy the Euro sign from an already existing project from an older version but now this won't work. Anybody got any ideas, its driving me nuts?
Im using Windows XP on an HPxw8200 (Avid platform), all high spec.
Thanks

The issue hinges on a problem with Unicode range conversions in CS3. This has two sides attached to it and also hinges on your system's region and language settings, so there is no easy solution. If inputting the character directly doesn't work, try expressions on the source text property:
"This is a Tst"
If even that fails, you can always try to enforce Unicode character generation:
String.fromCharCode(8364)
generates the Euro sign and could then be used like this:
"This is a T"+String.fromCharCode(8364)+"st"

Get Euro Character

hello. How I can get the Euro Character ?. I�m Using the ISO-8859-15 charset in an content Server Page and then i�m trying to get the information from this page. With my sniffer i see that all the petition is using this charset. To connect to the page I use this code.
BufferedReader paginaHtml = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( url.openStream(),"ISO-8859-1") );
      String aux;
      StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
      while((aux = paginaHtml.readLine()) != null) {
         sb.append(aux);
      System.out.println("-->buffer: " + sb.toString());

First of all it isn't clear to me why, when the page is encoded with ISO-8859-15, you would deliberately decode it with ISO-8859-1. I don't know offhand which code points are different, I will leave you to look that up, but you would be garbling those characters.
However, the real question is what you mean by "get". That code, with accurate encoding names, should read the page into your program.

Euro Character with US7ASCII

Hi,
We are using Java based Internet application with below characterset configuration.
Client Machine OS : Windows
Browser Character Encoding Setup : ISO-8859-P1 (http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1")
JDBC Type : Oracle 10.2.04 JDBC Thin Client (ojdbc14.jar, classes12.jar)
Oracle DB Character Set : US7ASCII
When we try to insert Euro Character, it is getting inserted into DB properly (Hex:80) and getting displayed properly in browser too.
I know Euro is not part of US7ASCII Char set. I would like to understand
how the PASS-THRU scenario is happening here ?
how ISO-8859-P1 is showing the Euro Symbol on Browser?
Thanks in advance,
Thanks,
dan

This is a combination of the following three effects:
1. HTML browsers generally try to do their best to properly display websites created by people not following required standards. iso-8859-1 has been historically regarded as the character encoding of US and Western European Windows workstations. This has not been correct for a long time already, as Microsoft extended the ISO code page and created what is known as MS Code Page 1252 (windows-1252). Browsers try to correctly display pages that include Windows-specific characters by treating the pages as windows-1252 even if they are defined as iso-8859-1.
2. For performance reasons, Oracle JDBC Thin uses simplified conversion from Unicode UTF-16 to US7ASCII by simply ignoring the upper byte of each two-byte code. This allows such bytes as 0x80 to go through to the database. In one of the new JDBC releases, we plan to introduce a flag to force the conversion to go through standard path so that replacement characters are used as it is in case of OCI.
3. As the HTML pages are marked as iso-8859-1 and not windows-1252, the 0x80 code coming from the browser is not correctly converted to Java UTF-16. The code should be converted to U+20AC but it seems to be converted to U+0080.

Euro Character

I'm trying to print the euro character in a jsp. The code below prints a question mark though. I figured since I was setting the locale to iso-8859-1 that it should display correctly but it doesn't. Can someone point out where I'm going wrong here? Thanks in advance.
<%
     Locale locale = new Locale("ISO-8859-1");
     response.setLocale(locale);
     PrintWriter responseWriter = response.getWriter();
     int euroInt = 8364;
     char euro = (char) euroInt;
     responseWriter.print(euro);
%>

Does your browser supports this charset? the answer is no, so your browser didn't recognize the character.

Problem with the EURO character

I can't see the Euro character and I don't understand why. I use the symbol \u20AC and it doesn't work. I have use some fonts which allow the symbol but I only get a white space or nothing.
I haven't tried to print it but I'll try. This problem happens trying to show in JLabels or JTextFields.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
I'm working with JDK 1.3.

Hi Andres,
I've seen this situation before with several characters that don't display in certain fonts even though font.canDisplay(char) evaluates true.
For example, Courier New (among many others) and \u20ac . (I don't know why this is?)
Anyway, use the Ariel Unicode MS font and it will display.

Joe

Not able to send euro character ' €' via socket

OS : Solaris - The solaris login profile is set with LC_CTYPE, LC_CTYPE, LC_LANG=ISO-8859-15 and we are able to see this when we run the set command and also locale in solaris.
JRE : 1.6
Application deployed in Weblogic 10.3
I m trying to send a euro character in java via socket, but in the receiving end not able to receive properly. Even I have to tried to set the Charset ( in the java code )
as ISO-8859-15 , but still it didn't work properly. Code snippet for the sample program to display euro symbol
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
public class Euro {
public static String createString( byte[] bytes, String enc )
String CResult = null;
try {
CResult = new String( bytes, enc );
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return CResult;
// ISO8859-15 is same as ISO8859-1 but with EUR character
public static String createStringISO8859_15( byte[] bytes )
String CResultISO = null;
CResultISO = new String( bytes, Charset.forName("ISO-8859-15" ));
return CResultISO;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//String enc = "€";
byte[] iso8859_15 = { (byte) 0xA4 }; // euro sign
//byte[] iso8859_15 = "0xA4".getBytes(); // euro sign
/* String Cresult = Euro.createString (iso8859_15, enc);
System.out.println("createString Result : " + Cresult);*/
String CresultISO = Euro.createStringISO8859_15(iso8859_15);
System.out.println("createStringISO8859_15 Result : " + CresultISO);
When I 'm running the above code in windows it is working fine whereas in Solaris it is not working. The console just displays ?, rather than the actual '€' symbol. Is this a display problem in console of vt100 or porgramming? Kindly suggest. How to make this work in Solaris.

Please repost or edit that mess with {noformat}{noformat} tags and proper indenting so it can actually be read.
And then explain what sockets have to do with the price of fish.

Problem with JDOM and euro character

Hi,
I have an xml file including euro characters (�) and starting with :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>
as it should probably be.
However, my problem is that (JDOM and) SAXBuilder doesn't recognize the euro characters and replace them by an unknown character '?'.
What's wrong and how can I solve it?
Thanks in advance.

All right, this is a a part of my code:
....SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder( true );
//create the document
//this doc contains this tag <RefVersion> data�data </RefVersion>
Document doc = builder.build( "E:\\test.xml" );
System.out.print( "before charAt = " + "�".charAt(0) + String.valueOf('\u20ac') );
String str = "euro�euro";
System.out.println( "euro�euro ->" + str.replace('\u20ac','O') );
Element root = doc.getRootElement();
//recup du noeud RefVersion
Element version = root.getChild( "RefVersion" );
str = version.getText();
System.out.println( "nom= " + version.getName() + " data= " + str );
System.out.println( "index de � ds euro�euro " + str.replace('\u20ac','O') );
and the output is:
before charAt = ��
euro�euro ->euroOeuro
nom= RefVersion data= data?data
index de � ds euro�euro data?data
So, obviously, it comes from JDOM.

Euro(�) character in JSP -page

I'have a JSP-page where is html-textbox for adding salary wish for the job and the problem is that I can't � character from request!
I have to pages. In first one i have form where the text box is and a second one for saving the info to a bean.
I have tried to use this tag in JSP pages :
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=windows-1252" %>
and after this code:
String salaryWish = request.getParameter("salaryWish");
System.out.println("Salary wish(�): " + salaryWish);
String euro = "�";
System.out.println("euro: " + euro);
makes this kind of prints to Tomcat 3.2 window
Salary wish(�): 1233 ?
euro: �
and if I print the same to textfile those � characters are actually � characters as they should be. But now the euro mark that I filled to salaryWish textbox and got from request is changed to ?.
Does anyone know how to make those encodings work also in html-textboxes?

Can't get working with that UTF-8 conversion! Causes compiler exception while loading JSP page.
Instead I tried this and it seems to work
String salaryWish = request.getParameter("salaryWish");
try
salaryWish = new String(salaryWish.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"windows-1252");
catch (Exception e){ }
Anyway,
thanks robert!

Euro character display problem

Hi,
I stored the euro sign (� ) (press alt+0 1 2 8 on Windows to get that sign) in an Oracle database table in varchar2 type column. when I do 'select * from table_euro;', I get the euro sign displayed properly in SQL prompt.
SQL> select * from table_euro
2 /
NAME
�
Now, I programatically read it using Java Resultset object, but it displays as � (which is Alt + 1 2 8 in key press). This' how I fetch it programmatically:
dbStatement = dbCon.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
dbDataReader = dbStatement.executeQuery(query);
while(until result set is read fully)
Object fieldData = dbDataReader.getObject(fieldIndex);
System.out.println(fieldData);
For the euro sign, the above prints � . Why is that? Can anyone please throw some light on it?
Thanks.

Two different character encodings can indeed give different sequence of bytes on the same character. Decoding will fail when the charset used to decode the bytes to a character is different from the charset used to encode the character to bytes.

Error with EURO-character in pdf417 bar code with adobe forms

Hi,
we have a problem with the Euro-Sign (u20AC) in the bar code type pdf417. The encoding is set to "ISO-8859-15", but after creating the barcode and scan this, instead of the u20AC-character the ?-character appears. Is this a bug in the encoding-routine? Or have we to set some special parameters?
Can anybody help?
Thanks!
Andreas

Hi,
thanks for your reply, unfortunately the oss note doesn't solve the problem.
We print the barcode on a A5 formular with a HP Laserjet printer series.

Inserting Euro character

Hi,
We are using Oracle 8.1.7 version of oracle. We created a
database with character set WE8ISO8859P15. We want to insert the
Eiro character into a table in that database. How can we achieve
this? Please help us.

Hi there!
WE8ISO8859P1 is a character set that is not Euro enabled.
(see Appendix A of the Oracle 8i National Language Support
Guide for Euro-enabled character sets).
I see a couple of possible approaches to solving your
problem:
1.) recreate the database with a unicode characterset.
2.) If 1 is not an option, try defining the column that
needs the Euro symbol inserted as NCHAR or NVARCHAR2
and define a (euro-enabled) national character set
via an environment variable.
For further details pleas check the "Oracle 8i National Language
Support Guide".
Hope that helps.
All the best

Euro character in HTML with non-euro supported language

I have a customer in Belgium who wants a servlet-generated webpage that displays the text in english, but the decimal notation as belgium and the currency as EURO. The problem is that en_BE_EURO does not work because it doesn't exist according to:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/locale.doc.html
How do I get my servlet to generate english text, with decimals and commas like they use in Belgium and use the Euro symbol? I don't have the ability to hard-code what I need because this application is used world-wide and needs to support pretty much any combination possible.

Nevermind. A code bug was not taking variants into account.

Not getting Euro Symbol in PDF Report using XML Publisher

Hi,
We have developed an Oracle Report from Report Builder 6i and also a Template in RTF Format.
We are using XML Publisher to display our XML Output in PDF Format to Users..
There is a Field called Comments on Customer Transaction Form, where user can enter any characters and that we are querying in Report and displaying on the PDF Output.
Currently, the user entered a Euro Character on the comments section and that was not visible to user on PDF Report and replaced by a Question Mark as below:
"3% price reduction ?89.91, 20% marine"
When i am Querying to the Database, i am able to see the Euro Symbol, but when i checked the XML generated on the Unix Box for the Report. I found as below:
"3% price reduction \342\202\25489.91, 20% marine"
So, the Euro Symbol on the database is replaced by " \342\202\254" in the XML Output and ? in the PDF Outbut.
Please help ASAP.

Saurabh Jaiswal

one way
value set based on view (view - select level id, chr(level) cl connect by level <= 500)
for example, chr(64) - @
so in xml you have code of @. sample xml is
<ROWSET>
<ROW>64</ROW>
</ROWSET>in rtf template pick
<?xdofx:chr(to_number(ROW))?>
select chr(14844588) from dual

Missing € character when exporting from Indesign (CS4) to PDF

I think the subject line says it all. I'm not an expert user, but have not previously had
this problem. I get a new iMac with CS4 reinstalled
and now 'lose' the Euro character when I export my Indesign files to
PDF - does anyone have any advice please? Thanks.

Even so - I don't know why - but the problem is with some fonts that the Euro doesn't show.
I always use the Euro font for the Euro symbol and never have an issue.
Even if you do manage to get the Helvetica Euro to show up in the PDF there is a chance it can drop out at the RIP stage and not appear in print - I've seen it happen far too many times.
Euro font is your friend.

Problem Inserting Euro Symbol and few others

We are using java application with oracle 8.1.6 as the db with the charset as WE8ISO8859P15. ALl the forms are using multipart request. We cannot do away without that. When trying to insert euro symbol and few other western european characters, they get converted to something else before getting stored in the db and so we are not able to display them properly on retrieval.
Can anyone please help in this direction?

Just set the nls_charset.zip in classpath and then try to insert into db.I think it might not be a problem with database.(note. if u insert euro character it will be reside in db, as some format but u retrive it and stream it thru servlet it will be displayed in the browser properly, if u write using printwriter then it might give "?" / "O" in browser. refer http://www.inter-locale.com/faq/blacksquares.jsp).
