Mail with French / Spanish accented characters appear as Question marks

Hi
I am facing issues in mails that have French / Spanish accented characters in mail subject.Accented characters appear as Question marks (?) when received in the inbox.Mail subject is read from properties file.
Please let me know the following
- Should I have the entries in properties file in Unicode ? For example French accent character � is represented as á
- Should I replace msg.setSubject(subject); to msg.setSubject(subject,"UTF-8");
Please suggest.
Below is code snippet :
 Session session = getSession();
 // create a message
 Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
 // set the from and to address
 InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
 InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
 for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
 addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
 msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
 msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
 msg.setSentDate(new Date());
* msg.setSubject(subject);*
 MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("related");

String subject = "\u00C 9tat de l'inscription en ligne";You need 4 hex digits after \u. You only included 3.
mailSubject = new String(subject.getBytes(), "UTF-8");
message.setSubject(MimeUtility.encodeText(mailSubject,"UTF-8", "B"), "UTF-8");Remove the above two lines. You're trying to make
this much too hard. All you need is:
message.setSubject(subject, "utf-8");
Should I use ISO8859_1 as Charset or UTF-8 ?I think the characters you're included are
representable in iso-8859-1 so you can use
that.
I am using Outlook express as my mail client. Do we have to decode it ?No.

Images appear as question marks

I need help! I just uploaded my first dreamweaver website to
yahoo. My images appear as question marks. I've uploaded the images
in file manager along with the index.html. The site looks fine when
I preview in all browsers from dreamweaver. The files are still in
the same place on my hard drive and there are no broken links. The
file names are all lowercase and have no spaces. Please
help!

A link to the site always helps!
Sounds like you may have your images defined something like
<img src='c:\mysite\images\picture.jpg'> (or similar -
i don't do it so I can't remember the exact syntax of a file path)
try
<img src='images/picture.jpg'>
Again it would be easier to tell if you posted a link to your
site.

Some math elements appear as question marks in equations - FM9/Win7Pro

Hello everyone,
I am facing the issue that some math elements appear as question marks in equations; for example, the summation and angle symbols.
The approximately equal or the alpha symbols, for example, appear correctly.
The symbol font is installed.
System specs:
FrameMaker 9 with the latest patches installed.
Windows 7 Professional with the latest updates installed.
The strange thing is that math elements appear correctly using virtual computers on my computer (Windows XP and Windows 7 Ultimate on VMWare).
Same maker.ini file and fonts are present on all (real and virtual) computers.
I have reinstalled FrameMaker already on my real computer (where I have the trouble) and it did not solve the issue.
I have checked (I think) all question mark related topics (when question marks are displayed instead of the correct characters) on this site, but none of them provided the solution to my problem.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks,
András

Hi Sheila,
Thank you for your response.
I use Adobe PDF as the default printer on both the real and virtual computers and I do not know the SetPrint utility.
I see the question marks appear in the FM files as well as in the printed PDF. It makes me think it is not a printing issue.
c:\windows\fonts is provided as the Font Source in the Embedding box for the Adobe PDF printer both on my real computer and my virtual one.
The SymbolMT font is listed in both cases in the Embedding box, which is (probably) referred to as Symbol Regular when I open the c:\windows\fonts folder using Windows Explorer. No other symbol fonts seem to be installed in this folder. I do not know how to check what other folders FM considers.
By the way, I can insert the summation character, for example, as a simple character using the Equations editor correctly, the problem comes when I try to insert it as a math element.
I have attached an example screenshot.
Thanks,
András

FontAwesome appears as question marks in FrameMaker 12. I installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder. Do I need to do something else to get it to work in FM?

I need to update our fonts/templates to Font Awesome. I downloaded and installed the font in the Windows/Fonts folder.
The font appears as question marks (????) in place of the text in FrameMaker 12.
The font appears correctly in other applications, such as Microsoft Word and Outlook.
I tried this with both FontAwesome.otf and fontawesome-webfont.ttf.
Do I need to do something else to get this font to work in FM?
Thanks-
Stephanie

Well, if it's any consolation, it does the ????? thing (complete with bad font metrics for the question marks) in FM9, too.
I'm tempted to blame the font, but it could also be that FM is confused by things that shouldn't be where they are. You'll notice that some of the glyphs aren't given descriptive names in Character Palette.
For example, code points U+0000 through U+001F. Those are supposed to be the C0 Controls in Unicode, and not displayable glyphs.
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf
Ditto for U+0080 through U+009F, which are the C1 Controls:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf
The glyphs at these code points should either be in standard Unicode positions (where the glyph is covered by Unicode, such as that left pointing triangle at U+0011, which might have been the same thing as defined by Unicode at U+25C0 or 23F4) or in some Private Use area.

Yahoo Mail On iPad - Attachments Appearing As Question Marks

A relative of mine has a Yahoo! Mail account which she uses for e-mail on her iPad.
She's had a problem recently that some of the attachments (JPGs) she's received haven't appeared in the Mail app on the iPad. Instead, they've shown up as question marks in boxes.
Anyone heard of this happening before? What's going wrong?

Your yahoo password is the same no matter what platform you access it on.
How are you trying to get at your mail? via the mail app? yahoo app? or via yahoo's mobile site and safari?
Try going into the settings, safari, passwords and autofill.
look for the site in question and tap on it. You may need to enter your passcode to access the info, but once you do you can see the password you used for that site.
On the main page that lists them all, you can see an 'edit' option. Choose that and you shoudl be able to delete the saved password for the site.

Buttons appear as Question Marks in Photo Page

Hey all,
I've been having this problem where buttons (Start Slideshow, Email Me, and Made on a Mac) show up as Question Marks on one of my Photo pages (titled "New Photos)
Follow Link below:
http://web.mac.com/adventurestorys/iWeb/Site%201/New%20Photos.html
In the past I've been able to make a small change to the page and re-publish which corrects the problem. But this one is stubborn. Any advice?
Note that I have already tried the "Publish all to .Mac" and that didn't help. And I do Empty my Cache in Safari after Publishing. Also, the problem only occurs on this particular photo page, the others in the site are just fine. So I recreated the page from scratch and re-published, but that still didn't help. Not sure what to try next. Thanks for your help.

Cabo23:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I see what you mean. The images for the buttons are not located by the page but they still work. Are these special image files you're using or the ones that come with the theme?
You might try creating a new photo page, select all of the photos from the old page and past into the placeholder on the new one. Do the same for the text, copy it from the old and past into the text box from the new. Then publish to a folder on the desktop and see if the buttons are correct. If so , delete the old page, rename the new one to the old name and publish.

Originators' apostrophes appear as question marks

When I open emails and or attachments using Safari, the text is 'altered' by this annoying trend (all apostrophes changed to question marks. Is this a feature of Safari or my ISP (tiscali)?

When I open emails and or attachments using Safari,
the text is 'altered' by this annoying trend (all
apostrophes changed to question marks.
This often indicates an encoding mismatch. The author of the text has used smart/curly punctuation but failed to indicate the encoding being used, which is crucial for correct display. Or the webmail service could be forcing the wrong encoding. You should be able to fix it by going to View > Text Encoding and trying the different Western options or UTF-8.

Web Service response from XMLA (using BW SAP) returns french Accent characters as question marks '?'

I am using .Net Framework 4 C# web service project.
I am connecting with XMLA service (using as web reference) in my C# project. The issue seems to be able to handle the French characters once i am getting response back from the XMLA execute method.
At this moment the data is coming back as '??' whenever it contains french special characters.
I am pasting the code below and would appreciate help at earliest.
sapqasbwi.MsXmlAnalysis _sMxlA = new sapqasbwi.MsXmlAnalysis(); // Create XMLA reference object.
System.Net.NetworkCredential _nc = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(); // Creating Network credentials object
_nc.UserName = userid;
_nc.Password = _password;
_sMxlA.Credentials = _nc.GetCredential(new System.Uri(url), "Basic");
_sMxlA.Url = url;
sapqasbwi.ExecuteCommand cmd = new sapqasbwi.ExecuteCommand();
cmd.Statement = stText; // sText contains the query
_bwPropertyList.DataSourceInfo = "default";
_bwPropertyList.Format = "Tabular";
_bwPropertyList.AxisFormat = "ClusterFormat";
_bwPropertyList.Content = "SchemaData";
_bwParameters.PropertyList = _bwPropertyList;
_sMxlA.RequestEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1"); // already tried utf 8
//Execute BW Query
System.Xml.XmlElement returnXML;
returnXML = _sMxlA.Execute(cmd, _bwParameters); // Execute method only returns an XML element object.
This particular object is containing the '??' whenever a french character is found

Currency Symbol (£) Appearing As Question Mark

Does instant client support currency symbols other than the dollar?
On machines running the full client our application works fine. On machines using 10.2.0.2 instant client (have also tried using 10.1 IC) pound signs are appearing as ? Have spent a lot of time trying to get around this without any luck. On login the session is being altered to use UK territory and currency is being set to £ as a backup, but still it refuses to work.
Looking at v$nls_parameters on the machines show the same thing - territory set correctly, but currency and dual currency are questionmarks.
Both the thin and full client show the same characterset and nchar, just the currency is incorrect on the IC machines.
Any ideas / help appreciated.

Are you using the normal Instant Client or 'Instant Client Light' (e.g., assuming you use Linux, did you download instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.2-20060331.zip or instantclient-basiclite-linux32-10.2.0.2-20060331.zip?
Instant Client Light will only support the following:
* Language: US English
* Territory: Any territory that is supported by Oracle
* Character sets:
o Single byte
+ US7ASCII
+ WE8DEC
o Unicode
+ UTF8
+ AL16UTF16
+ AL32UTF8
(see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15662/pre_install.htm#sthref106).
If this is not your problem, then maybe you have a wrong setting somewhere.
Let me clarify some things:
o You retrieve a character column that contains the £ character, right?
Then NLS_TERRITORY and NLS_LANGUAGE are irrelevant, they only have an
impact on display formats for numbers and messages and the like.
o When you say 'both installations show the same character set', do you mean
that 'SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE
PARAMETER='NLS_CHARACTERSET' returns the same result in both cases?
That would mean nothing, as this is the database character set and NOT the
client character set.
The setting that determines the client character set is the character set portion of the environment variable NLS_LANG.
To find out what is your problem, please investigate the following:
o Are you using Instant Client Light?
o What are the character set and national character set of the database?
o What is the value of the environment variable NLS_LANG on both client machines?
(If the full client installation is on Windows, also check the value in the Windows
registry).
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Some dock icons appearing with question marks

I backed up my hard drive, erased it, transferred backup to hard disk, and have had a few problems since. Today, the fourth time I turned on the computer since doing all this, startup produced ? for 6 dock icons: firefox, microsoft word and excel, appleworks, etc.
Please help!
imac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Karen --
Take the icons in the dock (one at a time) and quickly drag them to the desktop. You should hear a "poof" sound, and the icon will disappear.
Then go back to your Applications folder and take the icon from Applications and drag it on to the dock.
Hopefully that will work for you.

Why are my message attachments now represented by question marks? They appear in the conversations and details like this on my iPad but are there on my iPhone.

Since running the battery right down on my iPad, software up to date, my message attachments appear as question marks in both the conversations and details. They are still there on my phone. How can I fix this please? I've reset networks. Turned messaging off and back on. Turned the iPad off and back on.

The jpegs I am sending are 5x7 at 300 dpi and on the order of 1 Mb when I send them based on the jpeg quality.
