German umlauts (and other foreign characters) using UK keyboard

How do I type a umlaut, o umlaut and u umlaut? Also, ss (like a B)?
Holding down Alt and a etc. does not work.

The principle of the thing is that you use the Keyboard Viewer to change the mapping of key codes to character codes, much as you would have used the KeyCaps Utility in the past.
Keyboard viewer enables you to see the results of using the option key if you don't remember the shortcuts Peter gave above. If you know those you just type them. You can also see the result of using special fonts for symbols etc. It does not change the results of hitting a particular key in a particular font.
Because the key graphics are engraved on the keys, changing the mapping of key codes to character codes does not change the key graphics.
Hand up all those who thought it would.
This is a problem for which Apple has several patents in play. These are patents for much improved input methods to interactively change the key graphics when the mapping of key codes to character codes is changed.
Which I am sure we will all enjoy seeing and paying for in the distant future

PekWM won't display kana and other foreign characters.

Just getting to grips with PekWM, got it set up exactly the way I want, except that the fonts I have installed for Japanese/Chinese/Korean text don't show up in the title bar at all. Instead I just see tall rectangles. Metacity and Kwin both pick up on this automatically- is there some sort of configuration or option I just can't find? Thank you in advance for reading or replying to this issue.

I think you need to edit your theme to use your preferred unicode font ; see the PekWM FAQ for more info http://www.pekwm.org/files/pekwm/doc/0. … l#FAQ-1546

German umlauts and WLS...... (once again)

Hi
i'm using wls6.0 sp1 on a NT(4.0 Sp6) and on a Sun Solaris 6. if i try
to POST (using jsp) some data containing umlauts, an invalid character
('?') will be showed instead of the umlaut on solaris. the same
procedure works well on NT.
simply try the http://[myServer]:7001/console/..... application and
enter a "ä" in a "notes" tab of the wls server settings (wherever you
like).
is this a bug or a feature ? .->
idealy i would like to use german-umlauts.... so HELP !
thanx 4 ur answer

Hello Rolf,
It looks to me that the code conversion table between Unicode and the german
code page in JDK is not correct, or you may be running on the wrong locale
(codepage).
To verify that, use native2ascii.
1. Edit a file that has the german-umlauts and save it
2. execute native2ascii filename_input filename_output
3. execute native2ascii -reverse filename_output filename_output2
4. Open filename_output2 to see if it goes to ?
If it went to ?, you are in one of the above.

E72: Swedish and other special characters not work...

When I send mail through MfE, swedish and other special characters do not reach the recipient, they are just ignored. No blanks or nothing. Every word with a swedish character ends up one letter short.
Before the firmware upgrade this was intermittent, happening only on about half of my mails.
Now I upgraded yesterday, and it seems the problem is now permanent.
Have seen similar posts from E75 and E90 owners, their problems seem to have been fixed by newer firmware.
Our setup is: Exchange 2003, Portwise authentication.
All other phone models work fine, like iPhone, E71 etc.
/Sebastian

After some testing I found out that if I use swedish chars in the subject line, it works fine. Even in the mail body.
If I don't use swedish chars in the subject, they won't work in the body. I either get garbage or nothing where the swedish chars should be.
The problem doesn't exist at all in my private IMAP mail account.
Could someone who uses Mail for Exchange and have special chars in their alphabet (swedish, finnish, german, hungarian etc) pls tell me how it's working out for you?

Getting rid of single quotes and other bad characters

Hello All-
I am writing a servlet that takes a value from a form, and saves it to a database. However, when single quotes, and other illegal characters are entered, i get all sorts of errors. I am certain their is some function that would take care of all of this.
Help!

Hi there,
When you try to insert single quotes into the database it gives an error or problem because a single quote is a reserved character in the database.
If you want to store a single quote or any other character that is reserved in the database then you need to find out how to escape that reserved character.
One option is to use the single quote twice, so instead of ' , use '' (not double quote but , type single quote twice).
Another option is to use HTML entity code for single quote

Capturing returns and other special characters

Greetings,
I'm curious to know what is 'normally' done to capture
returns and other special characters from textareas. I want my user
to be able to insert 'control' characters into the text area to
allow them to provide some structure to the information they're
entering. At the moment, I'm processing the text char by char and
working out if it's an 'enter' or whatever, then appending a
'<br />' to the string before I store it and so on.
Is there a more established way to do this sort of
thing?

Use the replace function to replace either chr(10) or chr(13)
with a break tag. It's using cold fusion functions to accomplish
the same thing you appear to be doing manually.

10g won't recognize ellipsis and other special characters.

I'm trying to insert data into both VARCHAR2 and CLOB columns that contains characters such as ellipsis and other special characters. Oracle doesn't recognize the characters and just converts it to garbage. Is there a way to make Oracle easily recognize these characters?
For example, it won't recognize the following ellipsis in the string:
"Here we are … right now."

My bad...I did look at the national character set instead.
When I performed theq query you posted, I got the following:
NLS_CHARACTERSET
WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
AL16UTF16
I hope this new information helps. Also, the tool involved is SQL *Plus, but I'm currently concentrated on getting the insert to work via JDBC. Thanks in advance.

How to analyze the navigation flow in Oracle Portal, Number of unique users, downloads and other estastisticas of use of the Portal and Documents

Dear
Experts, I have a very exciting demand, the board of a customer.
I need to create an analytical application on Oracle Portal, UCM, Spaces, WebCenter, to inform me which quantitatively pages, url and documents are accessed.
How to analyze the navigation flow in Oracle Portal, Number of unique users, downloads and other estastisticas of use of the Portal and Documents?
I thought I'd create a ods with the data of Content Tracker and Google Analytics, and model the analysis through the BIEE.
I ask, what is the standard solution that is used in these cases?
Thank you
Miki

For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

I downloaded the OS X on my air and I can't use my keyboard and it won't let me restart my computer because it says that the application assistant canceled the shut down, I don't know what to do

When all else fails (it sounds like it has) hold the power button for about 10 seconds. This shuts down the computer. Then tap it to restart. Since it sounds like the OS upgrade began but then failed to perform a restart you may find that the Install Mavericks file is still in the Applications folder and you can try again. Or you might find that you have to redownload. I don't think the installation is going to proceed as if the computer had successfully restarted but I could be wrong (and in this case gladly so for your sake.)

German Umlaute and SQLite3?

I'm struggling with SQLite 3 and German Umlaute (ä, ö, ü, etc.)
It seems as if I cannot do WHERE x LIKE y clauses with German Umlaute recognized. Here's a code excerpt:
const char *sql = "SELECT zip, city, number, mobile, active, remarks FROM rawData WHERE city LIKE ?";
if (sqlite3preparev2(database, sql, -1, &searchCityStatement, NULL) != SQLITE_OK) {
NSAssert1(0, @"Error: Failed to prepare statement with message '%s'.", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
sqlite3bindtext(searchCityStatement, 1, [c UTF8String], [c length], SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
So the idea here is that I search for rows WHERE city LIKE <parameter c>. It works fine without Umlaute. E.g. rows like Berlin, London, etc. are returned. However, when I search e.g. for Lünen, it does not work. I believe that the [c UTF8String] strips out Umlaute, but just using c does not work, either.
Any help?

SQLite does not properly handle accented characters. From the SQLite documentation:
The LIKE operator is not case sensitive and will match upper case characters on one side against lower case characters on the other. (A bug: SQLite only understands upper/lower case for 7-bit Latin characters. Hence the LIKE operator is case sensitive for 8-bit iso8859 characters or UTF-8 characters. For example, the expression 'a' LIKE 'A' is TRUE but 'æ' LIKE 'Æ' is FALSE.).
Although it does not explicitly state it, 'Lünen' LIKE 'Lunen' is FALSE.

German umlaute and file download

hi to all!

I know that this is no bug, i just don't understand somethig. How can i tell Tomcat 4.1.18 to return files with german umlaute???
please help...
ciaou,
wendigo

sorry that's not the solution of the problem. I have prooved that my file is in the correct directory. It's NOT a context path problem. Other files are downloaded.....
test.txt
gl�hw�rmchen.pdf
gluehwuermchen.pdf
The JSP Source Code.....
<%@page contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"%>

I changed my mind and i wanted to try it, I found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … troduction and I did everything it said so first I created .Xmodmap in ~ and in there I put:
keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute
(and i got that using xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode $[0-9]*$.* (.*, $.*$).*$/\1 \2/p' )
but when i was going to try it with
$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
nothing happens, nothing in the console and the volume stays the same, any idea, anyone?

You should really try and solve/research your problem before posting here. You have access to the same wiki and same google as the rest of us, so I am not entirely sure why you think that we should be researching these thigns for you.
Also I am really not sure how you consider the most imprtant keys on the keyboard to be the play/pause and volume keys. Personally I think the letters and numbers hold some pretty significant value.
You do? what kind of wierdo are you?
