Flex, xml, and non-English characters
Hello! I have a Flex web app with AdvancedDataGrid. And I use httpService component to load some data to grid. The .xml file contains non-english characters in attributes (russian in my case) like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Autoparts>
<autopart DESCRIPTION="Барабан">
</Autoparts>
And when i run app, AdvancedDataGrid display it like "сПÐ". How can i fix it? I try to change encoding="utf-8" with some another charsets, bun unsuccesfully. Thank you.
Try changing the xml structure by using CDATA instead of having the russian part as an attribute and see if that makes any difference.
What I meant is use something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Autoparts>
<autopart>
<description><![CDATA[Барабан]]></description>
</autopart>
</Autoparts>
instead of the current xml.

Cfimage and non-english characters
I've been googling for hours and just can not find anything
related to this, very strange, I am trying to use ImageDrawText
draw Chinese onto an image but could never get it to work, tried so
many things, setting the page encoding to UTF-8, cfcontent,
setEncoding etc., it displays the Chinese fine on the page, but
passing it to the ImageDrawText method, writetobrowser gives me an
image with all square boxes instead of the chinese characters.
anyone else having same problem with other non-english
languages?

serif? not sure where that's coming from. can you try "@Arial
Unicode MS"?
unfortunately this is image work so you *have* to have a
unicode capable font
physically available (unlike PDF/flashpaper where you might
"poke & hope" that
the font's on the client & simply not embed the font).

no it doesn't.

you can't, either have to add it via windows control panel
(or whatever for
linux) or via cfadmin font management. see these for
potential fonts, etc.

or you might simply ask your host what fonts are on the
server that can support
chinese. -
INSO_FILTER and non-English characters
Hello!
CLOB colomn contains various formated documents (doc, pdf, plain
text) mostly in win1251 charset.
After succesfull indexing, I have "no result rows" when using
CONTAINS with russian word query, but everething's fine with
english words. Why did iMText index CLOB incorrectly and what
should I do?
Also when I try to retrieve document with highlighting
(ctx_doc.markup), all russian characters are replacing by '*',
NLS_LANG = AMIRICAN_AMERICA.CL8MSWIN1251

Linux Red Hat 6.2
create index idx_files on files(content)
indextype is ctxsys.context parameters

Odd number of non-english characters get broken in windows-chrome and ff
I developed jnlp applet which prints out the user input.
When I put odd number of non-english characters(eg: chinese), chrome and firefox browser prints out the last character as question mark.
input : 가
output : 가��
I checked on java console that the character is correct.
It must be bug in communication of applet to chrome browser.
IE prints out correctly.
I can resolve the issue by appending white space on applet and remove it on java script.
Anyone has any clue on the issue?
Codes are as follows.
MainApplet.Java
public class MainApplet extends JApplet implements JSInterface{//, Runnable {
public int stringOut(String sData) {
OutData = sData;
return 0;
js File
function TSToolkitRealWrapper ()
var OutData;
var OutDataNum;
var TSToolkit = new TSToolkitRealWrapper();
var attributes = { id:'TSToolkitReal',code:'tradesign.pkitoolkit.applet.MainApplet', width:100, height:100} ;
var parameters = {jnlp_href: getContextPath() + '/download/pkitoolkit.jnlp',
separate_jvm:true, classloader_cache:false} ;
TSToolkitRealWrapper.prototype.stringOut=function(str)
var nRet = TSToolkitReal.stringOut(str) ;
this.OutData= TSToolkitReal.OutData;
return nRet;
HTML
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
<!--
function StringOut(form)
var data = form.data.value;
var nRet = 0;
var base64Data;
nRet = TSToolkit.stringOut(data);
if (nRet > 0)
alert(nRet + " : " + TSToolkit.GetErrorMessage());

It must be bug in communication of applet to chrome browser.So tell the people who make the Chrome browser.
IE prints out correctly.That's a change. I've just spent nine days tracking down an IE applet problem and I'm not finished yet.

Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
AbhijitFonts are defined in the template you use to generate the pdf. Your application add the data and both is processed yb the FOP processor. Now there are two possible causes of the '???' :
1. the data you sent to the template contains the '???' already
2. the template can't digest the data (the special characters) and puts '???' in the pdf.
Before going on you have to find out which one is your problem. The 2nd is the problem you better ask this in a FOP forum as you have to solve it by changing the template.

Hello, I have read several times that since Java uses Unicode, it solves the problems of non-English characters automatically or something like that.
But my app is not working as expected. Would someone help please?
I have a client/server combo written in Java. The server can send messages in English or Japanese. The Japanese messages are hard-coded as String literals in the server source code. On the client side, they are displayed on a JEditorPane. But the Japanese characters are all garbled. The OS on the server side and client side are, of course, different.
My supposition, which is obviously wrong as it is not working, is that since both ends of communication are Java app, I need not worry about any encoding conversions for String literals.
Suggest me what is wrong here?How is the required encoding/decoding supposed to be done?
When I didn't worry about non-English characters, I did the following, which WORKED.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
out.println(outMessage);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String inMessage = in.readLine();When non-English characters are involved, I did the following, which DID NOT WORK. Please someone correct me.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
String utfString = new String(outMessage.getBytes(),"UTF-8");
out.println(utfString);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
InputStreamReader ins = new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream(),"UTF-8");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(ins);
String inMessage = in.readLine();The received message is still garbled. -
Non english characters in DN cannot be retrieved
We are using Netscape directory server 4, protocal V3. We have a problem related to non-english characters appearing in RDN.
We publish to Ldap entries using the values from database. For example, we have pubulished an entry to Ldap, based on DB values, the entry should have a DN like: ou=Liege BELGIUM ... LGG1a, <other components of DN>. However, when we call netscape search API (search against uid attribute which does not have non-english characters), the search return the entry, but when further call getDN() method on the returned Ldap Entry, it only returns Li, instead of the complete DN value.
It seems the entry is corrupted in Ldap. I wanted to delete the corrupted entry and re create new one to test. I tried many ways, but none of them worked, I think it is because DN is corrupted, there is no key value to identify the Ldap entry for any operation(modify, delete).
You help and insights are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Han ShenLDAP uses the UTF8 encoding. You must store data in the directory using the UTF8 encoding. This includes DN values. This also means that if you want to be able to view the values in your native character set and font, you must use an application that can convert the UTF8 LDAP data back to the native character encoding. The directory console by default should work for LATIN-1 (ISO 8859) languages if the LOCALE is set correctly.

Non English characters in BIP email
Hi, my report contains Japanese characters, when I view the output in HTML format. It is displayed properly. But when I click on send button , enter email parameters like to, cc, bcc, subject , etc and send it, in the mail I receive, the japanese characters are not getting displayed properly. The same problem occurs for spanish and portugese texts-in general to all non english characters. I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 10.1.3.4. If someone has faced a similar issue, kindly help. Thanks in advance
Suggestions
1) Try with NLS_LANG as
SWEDISH_SWEDEN.WE8DEC
2) Make a paramform and enter via paramform (unencoded)
(This is just for testing purpose)
3) Change machine locale to swedish and try
4) Which reports version is this ?
Please see

Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue
My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
And of course better; has someone solved this?I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?

How to retrieve non-english characters from a query
Hello,
My apologies if this post is not in its proper place, but I was a bit confused where to add it.
I'm running a query using SQL Developer on a table which contains several companies names from many different countries, and one of the checks I need to make to ensure data consistency is to search for all rows which the name of company contains special or non-english characters (like ç, ã, ä as example).
I don't know what can I use to do this. I tried to collate using NLS_SORT but it didn't work.
Is there someway to select only the rows that contain these special or non-english characters, excluding from the results the rows that only have english characters? Please have in mind that we have many languages in this table.
The field I would like to make the conditions on is VARCHAR2.
Please let me know if there is any extra information I should provide you so that you can help me.
Thank you in advance for the help.

Cfqueryparam and non-English languages
Hi,
I want to store non-English characters in NCHAR NVARCHAR and
NTEXT field types.
In the examples below fields LastName and FirstName are
NVARCHAR type and
Comments is NTEXT
In the past when I wanted to store non English (Greek)
strings or texts in these field types I was writting
<!-------------->
<cfquery name="Q" datasource="Db">
INSERT INTO Books
( LastName,
FirstName,
Comments )
VALUES
( N '#var_LastName#' ,
N '#var_FirstName#' ,
N '#var_Comments#' )
</cfquery>
<!-------------->
Now I want to use the cfqueryparam, so the syntax is
<!-------------->
<cfquery name="Q" datasource="Db">
INSERT INTO Books
( LastName,
FirstName,
Comments )
VALUES
( <cfqueryparam value="#var_LastName#"
cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" MaxLength="40">,
<cfqueryparam value="#var_FirstName#"
cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" MaxLength="30">,
<cfqueryparam value="#var_Comments#"
cfsqltype="CF_SQL_LONGVARCHAR"> )
</cfquery>
<!-------------->
but ...... the non English characters are not stored
correctly.
So my question is
How can I use the cfqueryparam in order to store non English
characters in NCHAR NVARCHAR and NTEXT field types ???
The documentation has not any info on that.
Thank you in advance for your help
ANX
GreeceYou didn't say what version of CF you were using.
Also, which database driver are you using (ODBC or JDBC
version #)?
Anyway, it looks like you do not have the unicode support
turned on. See
http://www.sustainablegis.com/blog/cfg11n/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=F9553D86-20ED-7DEE-2A 913AFD8651643F,
etc.
If that doesn't help, post

cfparam. -
Encoding non english characters with utf 8 on jsp (Critical!!)
I am inserting hebrew characters from JSP into oracle db and everything is fine until this point. But when I try to retrieve the information from the database, the characters are not displayed properly (I get some garbage characters). I am sure that the data stored in the database is correct, but not sure why there is a problem in displaying the data in the JSP.
I came across a thread on TSS
http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28944
and followed the suggestions given there like having
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">and also this
<%
//Some JDBC and sql statement query UTF-8 data and then ...
String str = rs.getString("utf8_data");
str = new String(str.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
%>
<%= str %>Now, the data getting displayed is partly correct, I mean to say, some characters are still coming as squares.
Any ideas will be of great help.even i doubt the database charset for this issue. But what I dont understand is how only certain hebrew characters are getting stored properly and why others are corrupted?
Also, can anyone let me know how i can view the Non-English characters present in the database directly, as TOAD is not able to display them -
Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters
Hello guys,
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
"ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office).
The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.
Thank you very much for any help.
TomHi Tom,
VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
character.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
Hex Dec
ř 159 345
ů 016F 367
So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)
