French Special Characters changing to Chinese

When I send emails from Mail using French special characters—á, ü, etc.—the recipient receives them as Chinese characters. This has happened to recipients who are using Outlook Express and Mail. The emails are usually group emails that I'm sending to about 50 people. Does anybody have any idea why this may be happening? Thanks for your help!

Transfer/Reply to emails with french special characters - BB 9360

Hi,
I've got a problem when I reply/transfer to mails with french special characters (such as "é" "è" "ç" etc..) => all the special characters are replaced with strange characters such as chinese letters or others.
No problem when I send an email with those same characters, it appears only when transfer or reply and only on special characters contained in the original mail I transfer/reply to.
is there a way to solve this issue?
thanks

while pressing the 'e' key, scroll your trackball side to side, you will find the various e variations.
You can do that with most keys to get special characters.

Interactive report : issue with french special characters

Hi,
We have many interactive reports and we can't use any french special characters in the filter clauses. For example, Montréal becomes montrÃ©al.
What parameters do we have to change to make it work?
Thanks.

I found the answer in this thread : Interactive Report Character Set Issue

How to create French special characters on Linux

I have a Linux machine now, and originally, I had no problems to create French special characters while simply typing the key combintation of alt+<ASCII-number> on Windows. The special characters were displayed both in any text document and in Skype's chat text field. Now on Linux, this does not work, nor can I display special characters by trying it by making use of the Linux way - that is by hitting ctrl, shift, u and then e. g. 00e7 for a small "cédille". Is there any workaround for this in Linux?

I tested Skype for Ubuntu and it works. Here's how I did it:I pressed Ctrl+Shift+u (an underline u should appear)Then I typed 00e7 and I got underlined u00e7Finally, I pressed Enter after that u00e7 was converted to çThere is how I typed "cédille": ps. Please note 00e7 is code for ç, but not for é (which have code 00e9). See here the list of Unicode characters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

French special characters not displayed properly in discoverer 11g

Gurus
We are upgrading to discoverer 11.1.1.3
I have found that French special characters (letters with accents) are not displayed properly in the discoverer tool menu.
Example
Sélectionner is displayed as S?lectionner.
This doesn't seem to be a server issue as one of the tester (in U.S) is able to see the french characters displayed and ironically it is not the case in France itself where this is required.
Please help
Regards
Ariv

Pl post details of the two clients being used in this scenario - the exact OS version, browser version, browser language settings, Java version etc
Since the accented character shows on one client , the issue is with the client or the settings on the client where the accented character is not showing correctly.

Special characters change in e-mail body

When I receive e-mail with ISO 8859-2 charset the special characters (áéőüú etc.) change into something more weird, unreadable characters (ĂĄ). However, mail preview lines show them correctly. I use English language for the phone (as Hungarian is not available), keyboard is Hungarian.
Anybody facing the same problem? Any solution?

If you set the document to be a HTML type, then you can use HTML scripting to set
the font.
Create send request
   send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).
Create html content:
    mail_line = '.mail TBODY,{font-family:verdana;font-size:10pt;}'.
    append mail_line TO mail_text.
    ... (your text)
Create document with type 'HTM' and provide your HTML scripting
      document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document( i_type    = 'HTM'
                                                   i_text    = mail_text
                                                   i_subject = 'Subject' ).
Add document to send request
      CALL METHOD send_request->set_document( document ).
Send document
      CALL METHOD send_request->send( ).

Problems displaying french special characters

Hello,
we are developing a multi-lingual WebDynpro application. The languages are set correct and the translation for all parts (portal, xls-files) works fine. Except the correct displaying of WebDynproResourceBundle-files.
Example:
We use the french property file with the content:
Enl\u00c3\u00a8vement
When calling this value, it displays:
EnlÃ¨vement
instead of
Enlèvement
I already tried to set the jvm system parameter for encoding to latin1 and latin2. But this didn't help.
Does anybody know, what parameter I have to set to have this french special signs displayed the right way?
Thank you in advance.
Matthias

Yes, I use UTF-8. I think this is the default-value, isn't it?
They are displayed wrongly, when executing the WebDynpro application. Inside the NWDS editor the display is like that:
example:
editor: language: browser: correct
gel\u00f6
scht de gelö
scht ok
Enl\u00c3\u00a8
vement fr EnlÃ¨
vement no!
As you can see, it works fine for german special characters, but not for french, czech and some other languages.
Thank you

French special characters and navigateToURL problem

I'm trying to pass accented French characters into an email using the code below, strangely the ' character comes through Ok, but the é comes through as È, does anyone know why? Thanks!
body ="J%27ai d%E9couvert ce site et j%27ai pens%E9 qu%27il pourrait vous int%E9resser :"];
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:"+ testEmail + "?subject=" + testSubject + "&body="+ body);
navigateToURL(request, "_self");

This is because you are using the wrong database character set
for storing your data . In the 7-bit ASCII encoding scheme, c or
other non 7-bit data do not exist.
Java can not handle the conversion of invalid characters inside
your database , because it does not know what they are. What you
need to do is to change your database character set to match the
encoding of the data inside your database.
Please check out the Character set migration paper on the
Globalization Support Home page.

Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
- Example 1:
[http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
- Example 2:
[http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
Thank you for reading! Please help!

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

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
The output i am receiving is as follows
<MainServiceAndStatuses>
<MainService>Entreposage ?? long terme</MainService>
<MainServiceStatus>Service Termin??</MainServiceStatus>
<TransactionID>1000006216_10_Cde client standard</TransactionID>

when i send form url ?parameter=Etc+f%F3o server side value
of parameter is Etc fóo.
I try with charset ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and i can´t fix
this.

Fixed a bug with suggestion list showing when pressing some
special characters

Hello,
I must admit that we didn't include into our test matrix such
a scenario so I don't know the answer. However I would like to
clear me a question before starting the investigation.
Do you mean that if you type the 'a' character the widget
should display the values that also starts with "â" or
"à" ? Because this scenario is really not supported.

How can I change the Chinese characters back to English appear on the bottom icons after clicking the App Store icon on the iPad? It was in English before I upgrade to iOS5.

Is the address on your account based in France ? The language of the stores should reflect the language of the country where your account is based, which isn't necessarily the same language as you've set on the device.
If your account isn't based in a French spealing country, then try logging out of the account (via Settings > Store) and then log back in (and also make sure that your address is correct and complete), and see if the language of the iTunes and App Store the reflect the language of the country where your account is based.

How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
B) Are there another required step
s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
And recite the mantra
ActiveX is good
ActiveX is holy
All Hail Bill
Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

How does one enter special characters, in particular french accents into text in PS Elements?

I'm trying to produce some artwork in Photoshop Elements with some French text in it, so I need to know how to input special characters for the letters with accents. Anyone got any ideas - I've tried looking for a glyph menu but that doesn't seem to exist on Elements.

Which operating system are you using and version of photoshop elements?
Photoshop elements doesn't have a Glyphs panel or menu.
Here's a way:
