Euro symbol and beyond

One types the € symbol with option-shift-2 on the US keyboard. I think it would be more "Mac-like" if one held the shift-4 keys for a few moments and a menu came up offering €, £, ¥ and others.

Or, if you do not want to wait for Apple, you can take advantage of keyboard substitution. In System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, I added a substitution. Whenever I type !$, I am prompted to replace it with the € symbol.
In the With side, I simply keyed in shift+option+2.

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).

Euro symbol and Internet Explorer

Hi,
I'm trying to display in a HTML page a Euro value using an Italian Locale. The output is always a question mark followed by the correct Euro value (i.e. ? 513,45).
My client browser is IExplorer 5.5 sp2. JSP server is TOMCAT latest release. Web services are under IIS (NT 4.0)
I'm using the following code in a JSP page.
<%
java.util.Locale ELocale=new Locale("it", "IT", "EURO");
double Euro=1936.27;
out.println(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(ELocale).format(24900/Euro));
%>
Somebody can help me ?

HI Mario,
definately your encoding. Just about every European encoding nowadays has two versions - the old one, and the new updated one that carries one extra character - the Euro symbol.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you off the top of my head what the name of the right encoding to use would be, but the JDK documentation points to a list of all defined encodings, which should contain the one you're after.
Hope that helps!

I want to delete the euro symbol and restore thr dollar symbol. Ihave English and qwerty selected in settings

I have somehow changed the dollar symbol to a euro symbol. I have english and qwerty selected insettings

Settings>General>Keyboard>International>English>U.S. is it set like that?
If you tap the 123 key and then tap the #+= key you can toggle between the $ and the euro sign on the U.S. English keyboard.

Euro Symbol and Oracle

How can I display Euro Symbol in Oracle - if shows now as a opposite ?. I read that I ned to change the character set to WE8MSWIN1252. How can I figure out what set we are currently using?
Thanks,
MJ

The "right answer" here is that the third party application does not support the Euro character (or any other character not in ASCII 1-127).
My hunch is that the third party vendor has built an application that relies on unsupported Oracle behavior-- if your client NLS_LANG and database character set are identical, Oracle does not do character set translation when you send an retrieve data. This can allow a single application to appear to "get around" the limitations of the database character set. Basically, if every application that stores and retrieves data agrees to lie to Oracle in exactly the same way (i.e. I have Chinese data encoded in Big5, but I tell Oracle it is US7ASCII when I store and retrieve it, then treat it as Big5 after I've retrieved it) an application can appear to store Chinese data in an ASCII database. If any application that does not know how to "properly" lie to Oracle tries to query the data, however, the non-ASCII data will not be retrieved correctly. Since Oracle utilities (import, export, database links) and various layers like JDBC don't know how to "properly" lie to Oracle, this is generally not a long term solution.

Oracle 9i - problem with euro symbol

HI,
I have a database on oracle 9i and i can't store the euro symbol ( it is stored like a '?' reverse).On the server I have NLS_CHARACTERSET=WE8MSWIN1252 and for
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=AL16UTF16.
Which superset is needed for this parameter to display the euro symbol and if I can do the change if the my NLS_CHARACTERSET is not a superset for NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET ?
Thanks.

Struts and euro symbol

Hi there,
I am facing the following problem.
I am working in a project with Struts.
If I write in any of the text input within a jsp the euro symbol, I get one of the others input text (hidden) as null in the Action (it is the first text input).
If I include
<%@page language="java" pageEncoding="utf8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF8"%>
at the top of the jsp file and
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
in the html head every thing is ok but I get a strange symbol "��" instead "�".
Anyhelp would be appreciate.

Pound (currency) symbol, and Euro symbol on invoice template.

Hi - I have written an invoice using one of the pages templates. I changed the Euro symbol (€) to a pound symbol (£) but every time it is automatically changed back to pound symbol again. Having entered the pound symbol. how can I make it stay there?

Hi there - Thanks, but I've got it sorted - I had to select a cell within the invoice template, then click on Table Inspector, then format, then currency, then select currency. I would prefer to just delete the currency symbols with the mouse, and then put in the ones I want, but I know how to do it now. Maybe Britain should just join the Euro - or maybe not?

Making the French grave and the Euro symbol

On previous Mac computers I've been able to make the euro symbol, using shift/option 2. Now, on a new iMac, using Leopard, I can't find a way to do it. And I've never ever been able to make the grave symbol. I have various printouts of all the different symbols available on the Mac but none of their suggestions for the grave and the euro will work. Can somebody suggest a way around this problem?

Enable "Keyboard Viewer" in the "Input Menu" tab of "International" system preference, and check "Show input menu in menu bar" at the bottom of the window. You can then select "Keyboard Viewer" from the flag in the menu bar. If you press Option, Shift-Option, or Command-Option, you will see the special characters. If an accent shows with a coloured background, it will be put over the next character you type. On my keyboard, Euro is Shift-Option-2 €, accent grave is left of "1". Option-` puts ` over the next character. è à ò ù
I am using the Australian keyboard layout, but interestingly enough, though it's ticked it's greyed out in the system preferences.
If you only have one keyboard checked, the check-mark will be greyed out, since you would have no keyboard if you unchecked it.

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.

How do I get Special character Euro symbol € to display ?

Hi,
How do I get the euro symbol € to display in Flash from
PHP file created in DW ?. It does not display it properly. I have
simplified the PHP code I have is:
<?php
$msgtoflash = "This is the Euro Symbol &#8364";
print ("&Databaseinfo=$msgtoflash");
?>
The &#8364 is a special character code for HTML.
If I use the $ or £ symbols it works perfectly but not
€ ?
Thanks,
Paul

The way to get the euro symbol to display in Flash is to use
XML. I have
tested this, and it works:
euro.php
<?php
header('Content-type: text/xml');
echo '<root>
<elem>This is the euro symbol:
€</elem>
</root>';
?>
ActionScript 2.0 to display the value of <elem> in a
dynamic text field
called myText:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = handleLoad;
myXML.load('
http://localhost/test/euro.php');
function handleLoad(success) {
if (success) {
var theRoot:XMLNode = this.firstChild;
myText.text = theRoot.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
} else {
myText.text = 'Not working :(';
Handling XML in ActionScript 2.0 is like poking needles in
your eyes,
but it's the only way I have been able to get the euro symbol
from an
external source into a Flash movie.

The difference between FIELD-SYMBOL and normal DATA TYPE

Dear experts,
Please see the example below, both are output the same result.
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
 POSITION TYPE I,
 LENGTH TYPE N,
 ENTRY TYPE STRING.
EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
MOVE EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO ENTRY.
WRITE ENTRY.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
--OR It can be written as--
DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
 POSITION TYPE I,
 LENGTH TYPE N.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ENTRY>.
EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
DO.
LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
IF LENGTH = 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ADD 4 TO POSITION.
ASSIGN EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO <ENTRY>.
WRITE <ENTRY>.
ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
IF POSITION >= 4000.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
Is there any special circumstances we need to use FIELD-SYMBOL?
Why is FIELD-SYMBOL is introduce in the first place?
Kindly advice with example.
Thanks in advance for those who can help me on this.

HI,
You can use field symbols to make the program more dynamic. In this example the name of a table control is substituted by a field symbol. Thus you cal call the form with any internal table, using the name of the table control as a parameter.
Example
form insert_row
using p_tc_name.
field-symbols <tc> type cxtab_control. "Table control
assign (p_tc_name) to <tc>.
insert 100 lines in table control
<tc>-lines = 100.
Field symbols allow you to:
** Assign an alias to a data object(for example, a shortened
 name for data objects structured through several hierarchies
 - <fs>-f instead of rec1-rec2-rec3-f)
** Set the offset and length for a string variably at runtime
** Set a pointer to a data object that you determine at runtime (dynamic ASSIGN)
** Adopt or change the type of a field dynamically at runtime
** Access components of a structure
** (from Release 4.5A) Point to lines of an internal table
 (process internal tables without a separate work area)
Field symbols in ABAP are similar to pointers in other programming
languages. However, pointers (as used in PASCAL or C) differ from ABAP
field symbols in their reference syntax.
The statement ASSIGN f to <fs> assigns the field f to field
symbol <fs>. The field symbol <fs> then "points" to the
contents of field f at runtime. This means that all changes to the
contents of f are visible in <fs> and vice versa. You declare
the field symbol <fs> using the statement FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs>.
Reference syntax
Programming languages such as PASCAL and C use a dereferencing symbol
to indicate the difference between a reference and the object to which
it refers; so PASCAL would use p^ for a pointer instead of p, C would
use *p instead of p. ABAP does not have any such dereferencing symbol.
** In PASCAL or C, if you assign a pointer p1 to a pointer p2,
you force p1 to point to the object to which p2 refers (reference semantics).
** In ABAP, if you assign a field symbol <fs1> to a field
symbol <fs2>, <fs1> takes the value of the data object to
which <fs2> refers (value semantics).
** Field symbols in ABAP are always dereferenced, that is,
they always access the referenced data object. If you want to
change the reference yourself in ABAP, you can use the ASSIGN statement
to assign field symbol <fs1> to field symbol <fs2>.
Using field symbols
You declare field symbols using the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement.
They may be declared either with or without a specific type.
At runtime you assign a field to the field symbol using the ASSIGN
statement. All of the operations on the field symbol act on the field
assigned to it.
When you assign a field to an untyped field symbol, the field symbol
adopts the type of the field. If, on the other hand, you want to assign
a field to a typed field symbol, the type of the field and that of the
field symbol must be compatible.
A field symbol can point to any data object and from Release 4.5A,
they can also point to lines of internal tables.
The brackets (<>) are part of the syntax.
Use the expression <fs> IS ASSIGNED to find out whether the field
symbol <fs> is assigned to a field.
The statement UNASSIGN <fs> sets the field symbol <fs> so
that it points to nothing. The logical expression <fs>
IS ASSIGNED is then false. The corresponding negative expression
is IF NOT <fs> IS ASSIGNED.
An unassigned field symbol <fs> behaves as a constant with
type C(1) and initial value SPACE.
MOVE <fs>
TO dest Transfers the initial value SPACE to the variable dest
MOVE 'A' to <fs>
Not possible, since <fs> is a constant
(runtime error).
To lift a type restriction, use the CASTING addition in the
ASSIGN statement. The data object is then interpreted as though
it had the data type of the field symbol. You can also do this
with untyped field symbols using the CASTING TYPE <type> addition.
The danger with pointers is that they may point to invalid areas.
This danger is not so acute in ABAP, because the language does not
use address arithmetic (for example, in other languages, pointer p
might point to address 1024. After the statement p = p + 10, it would
point to the address 1034). However, the danger does still exist, and
memory protection violations lead to runtime errors.
A pointer in ABAP may not point beyond a segment boundary. ABAP does
not have one large address space, but rather a set of segments.
Each of the following has its own segment:
* All global data
* All local data
* Each table work area (TABLES)
* Each COMMON PART
You should only let field symbols move within an elementary field or
structure where ABAP allows you to assign both within the global data
and beyond a field boundary.

How do you display a Euro symbol in Pages 5.2, Mavericks?

I haven't found the Euro symbol in the special characters. Perhaps I need to choose a different font or perhaps I just missed it.
Where do I find it.
thanks

In the special characters palette, you simply type euro in the search panel, and then select it. Click Add to Favorites.
Keyboard Euro
U.S. - shift+option together, then 2.
British - option+2
French - option + $
German - option + e

Trouble with euro symbol ( x80 )

Hi!
on windows-plattforms the euro-symbol often is encoded with x80. I can manage to read from those files/streams, but as soon as I try to write this value to into a stream with whatever encoding java "thinks" that x80 is not a printable character and writes a x3f (a questionmark) instead.
I know that the euro-symbol should be unicode x20AC, but if windows and the IE uses x80 my java-program has to be able to deal with that!
please help

Maybe it has to be done the other way around.
You need an encoding that reads windows' Euro x80 into Unicode x20AC and you should not stick to have the Euro sign as x80 at the Java side.

Euro symbol in JSP

Hi all,I have a strange behaviour in a report displaying Euro symbol: a '?' take the place of Euro symbol. Instead, exporting the report in PDF or RTF format, the symbol is displayed correctly in the documents generated. The JSP displaying the report doesn't use the tag library, but instantiates CrystalReportViewer class and performs the following operations:<% //(Gets the report source) ...... CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer(); viewer.setReportSource(reportSource); viewer.setEnableLogonPrompt(false); viewer.setDisplayGroupTree(false); viewer.setHasToggleGroupTreeButton(false); viewer.setHasLogo(false); viewer.setEnableDrillDown(false); viewer.setOwnPage(true); viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), out); %> If the report is displayed by means of a JSP using the tag library, Euro symbol is displayed correctly either in the JSP or in the documents generated exporting the report; here the source: <%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %> <crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" displayToolbarCrystalLogo="false" displayToolbarToggleTreeButton="false" displayGroupTree="false" viewerName="firstReport-viewer" reportSourceVar="firstReport" isOwnPage="true"> <crviewer:report reportName="reports/firstReport.rpt" /> </crviewer:viewer> What's wrong in the first JSP? Have I set other parameters? Thanks in advance, pippo 

Hi all,I've found the solution, setting the page content type: <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %>With this piece of code the JSP displayes the Euro simbol correctly.
