Euro symbol not rendering

Hi,
My original page was published with euro symbols within some editable regions,  and these rendered properly and without issue.
Today my client is trying to edit and the euro symbols are not rendering, instead turning into question marks and I can't understand why. It's really quite annoying, and not to mention slightly embarassing.
The page's character encoding is as follows:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
I've also tried:-
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Grateful for any help to resolve this issue.
Many thanks

I would say this is part of the US version being supported atm...
As a rule of thumb, I always use UTF-8. Using Unicode is much more reliable than legacy character encoding such as Windows 1252 or ISO 8859-1 (NOTE: the older ISO 8859-1 had no character for the Euro sign)....
My first question would be.. What browser are they using? and how are they entering the character (copy-n-paste, keyboard, or compose key sequence)?
You could ask your client to try using "&#8364" or "&euro" in the html... if he were editing html. Since he can't, you need to make sure they are entering it directly from the keyboard; the other issue may be if they are trying to copy / paste the character. If for example they are copying a document from email or MS Word, then pasting it into the InContext browser, the encoding will almost always get messed up.
Either way, I would ask them to use one of these methods:
The US keyboard shortcut for the Euro sign is alt-0128.
The Compose key sequence for the euro sign is =E. On many European keyboard layouts, the symbol can be entered as AltGr+E, on others as AltGr+4 or AltGr+5, according to official recommendations.
On the Mac OS operating system, a variety of key combinations are used depending on the keyboard layout (for example, option-2 in British layout, option-shift-2 in United States layout).
Using the US keyboard shortcut for the Euro sign is alt-0128, as you can see, works fine here €     (this editor translates that as "&euro").
This page is encoded as follows:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-US" />
You can see a difference on content management systems where their database uses a different Character-set.  You can read more on the character encoding as the W3C recommends: http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset

  • Euro symbol not displayed in pdf

    Hi,
    I am not getting euro symbol in pdf. Instead of that, I am getting '?'.
    When i query the database I am getting euro symbol. the data type is VARCHAR2.
    Thanks in advance.

    is there any solution to this issue??

  • Euro symbol not displayed/stored correctly when Application Server on AIX

    Hi,
    Up till now we have an BC4J/ServiceFile/UIX application (generated with JHeadstart)running on Windows OS (Application Server and Database).
    The customer has decided to move the Application Server (10g) to an AIX machine.
    When testing the application we find:
    1) Euro symbol (€) is displayed en stored correctly when stored in varchar2 db-columns
    2) The Euro symbol is not stored correctly when stored within a CLOB db-column AND when the AS runs on an AIX.
    When the Application Server runs on a Windows-platform the euro symbol is displayed and stored correctly.
    Our first guess was some NLS_LANG configuration problems on the AIX-machine. We tried however to set the NLS-LANG to "DUTCH_THE NETHERLANDS.WE8MSWIN1252". This had no visible effect.
    Are there other (if any) NLS-settings which influence the way the CLOB-columns are dealt with?
    When connecting to the same database from a Windows-Application Server no problems occur, thus showing that the problem is AS/OS specific.....
    Our guess is that is related to BC4J and how BC4J communicates with the database.
    Is this problem a known bug/issue?
    Any ideas how to solve this problem?
    We are using JDeveloper 9.0.3.1 (build 1107), Business Components Version is 9.0.3.10.62
    Thanks,

    Sorry, I'm having difficulty understanding what's happening here. Let me see if I get it.
    You have an application that stores the euro symbol in a CLOB. When the server that handles this application is on AIX, the euro is not properly displayed in the client. When the server is on Windows, it displays properly.
    Is that the issue? If so, it could be a number of things, but it's probably related to the character set differences between the two database servers.
    Have you been able to reproduce this without using Business Components?

  • 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.

    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

  • UTF8 does not support  (euro) symbol ??

    How do I configure my current UTF8 database 8.1.7 to support input & store (euro) symbol ??

    if it's possible, configure your clients (users who are entering the euro symbol) with character set=WE8ISO8859P15. This supports the symbol (WE8ISO8859P1 does not)

  • Euro currency symbol not displaying

    Hi
    I am using oracle 11gR2 and GNU/Linux.I am using Putty to connect linux box and connect DB.one table contains all countries currency symbol.
    Problem is I couldn't able to select the 'euro' currency symbol in console but in sqldeveloper it's working good.
    select symbol from gv_curr_info where curr_-cd='EURO';
    I am getting '?' instead of euro symbol. in OS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and in DB NLS_CHARECTERSET=AL32UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET=UTF8.
    putty also CHARACTERSET=UTF8.
    any idea to solve this issue please?

    First you need to establish the OS can display the euro sign correctly, at all.
    Then you need to make sure your NLS_LANG environment variable has been set up correctly. This means the part behind the dot is the Oracle equivalent of your characterset.
    Then you need to make sure the database can store the euro. If I recall correctly you indicated the database characterset is AL32UTF8. This means you shouldn't have any problem.
    If you go for an ISO characterset you need 8859P15, as the ISO couldn't agree on changing 8859P1.
    As Microsoft never adheres to any standard it is WE8MSWIN1252 for Windows databases.
    Please note Oracle is looking to standardize on multi-byte charactersets, so you will be better of with AL32UTF8.
    As a sidenote in a console session on Windows, NLS_LANG needs to end in .WE8PC850, or diacritical characters will not display correctly.

  • 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,

    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:
    &#8364;</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.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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 "�&#130;�" instead "�".
    Anyhelp would be appreciate.
