[HELP] Incoming SMS problem with special characters

Hello,
I have my BlackBerry Q10 for 4 days and I'm geting used to it and I love it but that's not the case...
I live in Latvia and we use special letters in our language input like
"ā č ē ž ļ ņ š ī ķ ģ ū" and that's alright with me, I know that I can't send these letters with my blackberry!
But everytime my girlfriend sends me messages that are larger than two sentences and with these special letters... then I just can't read them at all. It looks like this:
As you can see in image 1 & 2 there are @ symbols between every letter and other symbols.
In the second image there you can see that the first sentence is taken from the same sms which is in image 1, it's just separated, It would be annoying to separate every single message someone sends me!!!!
And in this image 3 below, you can see the correct text which is shown in image 2 with @ symbols between the letters...
Please, I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem, it's annoying!
P.S. And yes I have "Allow Special Characters" turned from OFF to ON in Text Messages>Settings>Advanced and it DIDN'T HELPED!
Don't know what else to do!!!

Ok, solved:
From, DW do Edit | Preferences | New Document and set the Default Encoding to
whatever you wish it to be. That will set the default for all new
documents in Dreamweaver.
For the existing pages, you will need to open them and do Modify | Page Properties | Title/Encoding to set the encoding as you desire.

Problems with special characters like "u00F6" "u00E4" "u00FC"

Hi,
we currently face some major problems with special characters like "ö" "ä" "ü". First I thought it is a SP02 specific problem but it still doesn't work with SP03.
When I start an import the import manager shows correct converted value. "ö"s "ä"s "ü"s are displayed correctly. But after I've done the import I look into the Data manager and I see instead of these characters charcaters like "̈". (note: the character should show a little square box - but the forum cannot desplay it)
How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Nico

Hi Nico
Just try it out the following steps, hope it solves ur issue.
To set one or more values back to their original values:
1. In the Import Manager Source Values grid, select the values that you want to set back to their original values.
2. Right-click on one of the values and choose Set to Original Value from the context menu, or choose Values > Apply Value Conversion Filter > Set to Original Value from the main menu.
3. MDME sets each value back to its original value, which appears in black in the Source Values grid.
NOTE : You can use the Set to Original Value filter only at the value-level and not at the field level.
thanks

Problems with special characters in InputStream or XPath

Hello everyone,
I am having problems with special characters such as ", ', - and so on, everything becomes ? (questionmark). (Not with special nordic characthers (å,æ,ø) though.)
The encoding of the XML is UTF-8, and the server that holds the webservice is setting encoding to UTF-8 also, so no conflict there.
What I have done is something like this:
{code}
String url = "http://www.formula1.com/rss/news/latest.rss"; // This is not the feed I use, it is a custom XML document
InputSource is = new InputSource(url);
DocumentBuilderFactory fct = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = fct.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(is);
Element rootElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
out.print(xPath.evaluate("/rss/channel/title", rootElement)); // The xml is not a RSS feed, this is just an example.
{code}
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or give me a hint of how to solve this in another way.
Best regards,
G.Hansen

Hello, thanks for you reply. I had to rewrite your code a little, and I think that your code would not really compile, if you tried yourself :-)
I ended up with something like this:
our environment is running in 1.4 mode, so I could not use the for-each loop :-(
public String printEntities(String s) {
 char[] sArray = s.toCharArray();
 StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
 for (int i = 0; i < sArray.length; i++) {
 if (sArray[i] > 256)
 sb.append("&#x" + Integer.toHexString(sArray) + ";");
 } else
 sb.append(sArray[i]);
 return sb.toString();

Problems with special characters in JSP app

Hello!
I am working for a JSP application which uses special characters.
The database used is a Novell MySQL version, it is fine.
I use Tomcat, Apache.
I do not think that the versions are important.
ON NT:
The application works fine with special characters.
Obs: I tried only with Tomcat; I didn't use Apache.
ON NOVELL:
If I try to insert some special characters,
they arrive just fine into the database.
The problem is when I want to display them.
I tried with jsp directive to set the charset,
or with HTML meta tag - no result al all.
Everytime I use the same work station, and the same browser to do the tests.
Please help with any ideas.
Another question, maybe relayed:
Can I set Tomcat so that when it creates the servlets it uses a custom charset I can indicate?
THANK YOU!

The characters I want to use are french characters, e-acute, etc.
I take the data with request.getParameter, POST method, etc.

Our setup:
Apex Listener 2.0.5

We used this blog post so we could do some PDF printing with APEX Listener:

The problem is special characters. For example the "&" sign comes out as "%26amp;" when we export an XML.
Could anyone provide some insights of what we can do to fix this?

Problem with special characteres

Hi. I have a problem with java. I�m making an application that works with special characters and displays correctly on my local machine, as I use escape characters such as ì for �. The problem is when I deploy the application on a unix machine. All of the special characters (�, �, �, etc) appear like a �?� (question mark). Any tips, please?
Thanks in advance

Any tips, please?First step: read [this excellent introduction into Unicode|http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html], it will give you the basics you need to solve this problem.
How do you input and output those characters? Simply print them to the console? Or write them to a HTML file (since you mention &<something>; notation)?
"?" is normally the result when you convert a String (which is always in UTF-16 encoding in Java) to an encoding that can't represent your characters (ASCII for example).

Problem with specials characters like '€' or 'œ'

Hello,
I'm having troubles with specials characters such as '€' or 'œ'.
I use an application connected to a 9.2.0.7.0 database on a w2003 server.
Characterset of the database is FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252.
In my workstation the value of [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\NLS_LANG] is also FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252.
But when I type such specials characters through the application, they are replaced by '¿' in the database. The datatype of this column is varchar2.
Can anyone help me ?
thanks
Antoine

Is your application a java application ? if so, pl see MOS Doc 365874.1 (Euro Symbol/Trademark Symbol is Garbled When JDBC Thin Driver Retrieves Data from a Database with Characterset WE8MSWIN1252)

Problem with special characters! Need a big help!

Hello!
Please be patient with me. English is not my main language.
I have a big problem with my countries special chars.
Our spec. chrs are á,é,í,ó,ö,ő,ú,ü,ű
When I save a document every other characters (even other special chars) are okey, but ő and ű will be o and u after saving my document.
This is really annoy me. I've read a lot of forums in my country, but I can't find any solution.
When I go to "Edit > Preferences > Fonts" and no document is open, Font Settings: Unicode
If I change this, and I reopen this window it will be on Unicode again. I can't change it.
When I go to "Edit > Preferences > Fonts" and my documents are open, Font Settings: "Nyugat-európai" (means Western European)
If I change this, and I reopen this window it will be "Nyugat-európai" (Western European) again. I can't change it.
It should be: "Közép-Európai" (means Central European) but every time I change it, it reverts to this defaults.
Please help me!
I have to reopen every file in Notepad and rewrite the ő,ű chars.
Thanks,

Dtterm and xterm - problems with special characters

I run SGD 4.2 on a Solaris 8 box with 50 users globally. This installation replaces a 3.42 installation. Clients are all Solaris 8.
Currently my most nagging problem is that I have "special characters" (at least on a german keyboard layout). @, �, `, ' are not working in xterm or dtterm, while they did on 3.42.
As we have users connecting from all over the world, I have no idea how to fix this, so every user has "his/her own" keyboard setup.
So far I tried with and without "Lock keymap" in Object Manager | Attributes | Advanced
and "Use LANG variable" vs. "Use client's input locale" in Array Manager | X Protocol Engine | Keyboard Map.
I'm quite new new to SDG and look for an Amin training currently, but this is too urgent to wait for this. Anyone an idea, please?

Hi,
Did you get an answer after 3 years?? :-)
Whe do have the same problem.
SUSE 10.1 sp1
SSGD portal.
Only when we connect thru de portal whe have this problem.
When we connect straight to a terminal server and we open Winword than it ok, but when we open thru the terminal server de portal and logon to it, than then keyboard setting is changed.
Any help??
Best regards Rob de Bruin

Problems with special characters when exporting to LDAP

Hi,
Im using standard report RPLDAP_EXTRACT to export data to LDAP. The problem is that the special characters (in this case polish letters) do not save correctly (we get for instance '?' instead of normal letter)
I tried switching the configuration of the RFC destination (used: 'found communication Code Page option') but I get a message: "Your selection is restricted" and cannot make any changes.
Can anyone please help in this matter?
Regards,

1) Your database should be able to handle and properly store all the supported charactersets needed. With UTF you are in the clear regarding storing all that kind off idfferent characters
See http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
2) The recieving party (the cleint software) hopefully has a character set that supports all the characters that are offered by the database and can encode them. If not then you get toe upside down question markt or dark squares or something alike. If the client software is a browser, for instance windows internet explorer, then most encoding settings are buildin and you only have to switch. Sometimes you will have to add extra language support on Windows Internet Explorer. This behaviour is also the same on thick clients. Oracle by default sets these parameters in the registry, but on windows the can be overrulled on several levels like on system level, user level (start --> settings -- control panel --> system --> advanced tab --> environment settings) and or during execution via a app. configuration file or an export of the system variable on the command prompt... A unified business approach for how to handle this is needed otherwise you will have too look for these kinds off issues always all over the place (on windows and/or linux etc).
Have a look at Mark's example of how things work regarding UTF and the like on the FAQ URL on this forum and the URL as show above. If completely lost, you will have to read up on it in the Oracel globalization / NLS manuals and see what is appropriate / can be done in your environment.

Unmarshalling problem with special characters (Trademark, French

I'm using a DefaultHandler class to create a StringBuffer which contains a single (though very complex) element from an XML file. I am unmarshalling this StringBuffer object to a JAXBContext like this:
u.unmarshal( new StreamSource( new StringReader( sb.toString() ) )
My special characters are going way out of whack (please read (TM) as the Trademark symbol)
T-Force(TM) Ring(TM) Bonded iron construction for durability and longer life
becomes
T-Force��Ring �� Bonded iron construction for durability and longer life
Before I put anything else into the StringBuffer I put this in:
sb.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-15\"?>");
But I've tried:
sb.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
and
sb.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>");
with different, but wrong, results.
It's true that I'm viewing these results on a web page, so it's possible that the problem is occurring on the back end once I persist the data, but it looks like my database is set for UTF-8 (that's what I put for this new installation of Oracle 9i R2).
Is there something basic I am missing. Like, perhaps, I need to do some sort of XML entity coding?
Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

Actually I had forgotten one additional thing. I have
tried testing one thing at a time, and I have sent the
special characters to the log file with logger.debug
statements (log4j). The characters are screwed up in
the log files, which is what makes me think I need to
do some sort of entity encoding. (?)I don't think that log4j provides any way to declare the encoding it uses for your files. My guess is that it's using the default encoding for your system, which could be a problem for things like the trademark character. So log4j really gives you just another thing to test, rather than acting as a testing tool.
I was thinking of a more low-level test, where you take your trademark character, which is 2022 or some such number (check the Unicode charts) and you write it to the database and read it back. Do you get the same character back? That sort of testing.

Problem with special characters on Safari

Hi everyone,
Once again, I am in desperate need of your help, as I am facing a very annoying issue on Safari (version 5.1)! Indeed, I cannot use special characters such as 'ê' on various websites, including Facebook or even this very page.
I have a QWERTZ keyboard layout (Swiss layout), which is very handy because of its ambivalence. However, when I try the usual key combination for 'ê' (as there is no specific key for that character), which is ^+e, nothing happens. I have to type several times the '^' symbol only to get a weird bar at the bottom of my page displaying many useless '^' at the same time (see picture below).
However, this problem does not arise whilst typing in Google's search-bar or other websites. I also checked on the Internet to see that this was a common issue but could not manage to find an answer to it.
I hope you will, because it is really annoying to use each time a copy/past...
Cheers!
