Help with unicodes or glyphs

Can anybody give me the unicode values for the symbols below?
a raindrop that is hollow (perceived only from the line that follows its periphery)
a "hollow" bell at rest
a "hollow" bell that is tilted so it appears to be in a ringing position
I found one glyph in the Wingdings set - $0054 - but it is a solid raindrop, and what I wanted, was just a periphery.
But maybe I have missed something somewhere. I am pretty new to the world of the Macintosh (and, no, I have virtually no experience with PC compatibles). Is there a utility in the developer's kit somewhere that lets people take a Unicode or Glyph out of a table somewhere, and sketch them into different kinds of designs or patterns? If there is, what is its name, and where would I find it?

As I said, FontForge (free). Not-free: http://www.fontlab.com
Okay.
I've also been looking for a really good Ess-zet symbol (for the obsolete "ss" symbol in German)
What do you mean exactly? you can get ß via Option + s.
And depending on your wordprocessing software, it comes out ugly or pretty, depending.
Can you suggest a Unicode for a hollow raindrop?
Character Palette shows everything in Unicode. If you can't find it, it doesn't exist.
Character palette won't take it out of the font, though. (Was I imprecise in my original post? I thought I was implying the extraction of the binary shape, minus the metadata that represents margins and ascenders and descenders, and logical curve information, or mathematical formulas of that nature, and the color information, what there is of it: I am dealing with a black and white medium - a sheet of paper and a black and white laserprinter, where all those colors simply go to waste.)
The bottom line, here, is that neither the fonts that came with my Mac mini, nor the Unicodes, what there are of them, have a hollow raindrop, or a bell that is at rest, or in a tilted state, exist, so I guess I should go ahead and scope out FontForge. (I still think that Apple should have included something like that in the Mac mini I bought a year ago.)

Help with unicode String?

Hi there,
I have a file that I need to read in and process. Took a while for me to realise it was unicode ("text from my file" was printing out as "t e x t f r o m m y f i l e") - Anyway, got there in teh end using:-
InputStreamReader fis = InputStreamReader(new FilInputeStream(filename), "UTF16");
dataSource = new BufferedReader(isr);My problem now is that I'm splitting the line (which is a comma seperated list of numbers) and coverting to int's:-
String line = dataSource.readLine();
String[] items = line.split(",");
int[] values = new int[12];
for(int i = 1; i < items.length; i++)
values[i-1] = Integer.parseInt(items);
Values is what I expect, a list of numbers, but items[] is being set to 0. Is this something to do with unicode? Must admit, I've never given the charater encoding any though up until now.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank,
Steve

Sorry, found it. It was actually a buffer issue. For the record, just because I'm printing output in the middle of the loop, doesn't mean the value exists to be printed by the time System.out.println gets to it (my code was creating an exception for an unrelated reason a few lines down)
Thanks for your responses.

Help for find/change glyphs script

Hi everyone!
I need help for creating a script (or modifying existing script) that should replace every Cyrillic character from an old ASCII font with the same Cyrillic character but from new Unicode font.
For example: Capital letter 'A' GID=107 from old font (Lazurski) should be replaced with 'A' GID=630 from new one (Myriad Pro).
I can do this by using Indesign Find/Change - Glyphs, but this will take me too much time.
So, I need a scrip for this job.
My first attempt was to use the FindChangeByList script by modifying the FindChangelist.txt document, but without success.
Here is what I've used until now:
1) glyph {glyphID:107, appliedFont:"Lazurski"} {glyphID:630, appliedFont:"Myriad Pro"} {caseSensitive:false, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}
2) glyph {findWhat:"u00C0", appliedFont:"Lazurski", fontStyle:"Bold"} {changeTo:"0410", appliedFont:"Myriad Pro", fontStyle:"Bold"} {caseSensitive:false, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find ASCII A replace with Unicode A.
Both lines didn't change anything. What is wrong?
Any help is welcome!
Regards,
Veselin
P.S. Indesign CS5

Thank you Jongware!
The codes (both ID and Unicode) are correct for sure, but even with correct notation (obviously my was wrong) the script don't change anything.
Here is the line in the FindChangeList:
text {findWhat:"\u00C0", appliedFont:"Lazurski", fontStyle:"Bold"} {changeTo:"\u0410", appliedFont:"Myriad Pro", fontStyle:"Bold"} {caseSensitive:false, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find ASCII A replace with Unicode A.
Update:
Finally, I found what is wrong with the script - the properties "caseSensitive:false".
By removing that properties the script works fine.
So, I successfully converted a book with old ASCII Cyrillic font to Unicode Opentype font.

Corrputed loaded text from an Export Datasource with Unicode

Hi Experts
I am new with BW and this forum helped me a lot in the past year.
I am loading texts to an InfoObject using a Master Data (texts) Export DataSource from another InfoObject. The system is NetWeaver 2004s (BW 3.5) with Unicode.
The InfoObject's Text MD is Language Dependent but users enter the system only with EN language.
For some reason the loaded texts are corrupted.
For example: The original InfoObject has Hebrew texts (that were loaded perfectly from the source system which is also Unicode), but the text in the PSA table and in the text table of the target InfoObject will be: ###########
Can anyone help?

Hi Niraj
Thanks for your answers
Let me explain:
Currently, we load texts with Hebrew chars from the SAP ECC6 system and everything is good (we see Hebrew chars in SAPGUI/BEx/WAD etc.)
The problem occurs when we load these texts from one InfoObject to another, via Export DataSource.
To do that, We generated an Export DataSource for the original InfoObject and assigned it to the target InfoSource of the other InfoObject. After running an InfoPackage for this DataSource, the texts that were loaded to the PSA (and hence, to the target InfoObject texts table) were corrupted - which means that they appeared: ##########

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

FIle Creation in the Application Server With Unicode-8 and Byte-Order Mark

Hi Guys,
I've requirement of creating a file in the Application server with the Data.
The Data Format Should be in UTF-8 and Byte-Order Mark.
I need to supply this data from SAP to PRMS.
I'm able to create a file with Unicode, but any of the guys have worked on Umicode with Byte-Order Mark, please let me know.
Thanks,
Adi.

Hi Mathieu,
If you haven't found an aswer yet, you can check in transaction SE24 CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES method CREATE_UTF8_FILE_WITH_BOM. You can check the code of the method (it's very short) so you can understand how it works. It's also a static method so you can call it directly in your program.
Ex:
CALL METHOD cl_abap_file_utilities=>create_utf8_file_with_bom(your_file_name).
I hope this helps.
Pax Vobiscum.

Need Help with my ZEN MX

Need Help with my ZEN MX9Hi folks. On my computer I have about 9G of different music, or 52 albums. I can't figure out how to get that music on to the player. To correct myself, I mean I know how to physically/logically copy it over to my player. All of that music is also?on the player in "Music" folder. I have this "Creative Centrale" installed and working. I need step-by-step instructions on how to create a PLAYLIST (I'm guessing), and have the?player play song after song in an album, not randomize the play. I think that is why I created that playlist. Thank You folks For Your Help?

Trouble with Unicode Chars

Hi all,
I am having trouble displaying Unicode chars both in an Applet and in the command prompt window. I am using awt. The characters I want to display are: \u2228, \u2283, \u2261. These characters display correctly from AppletViewer when I add them to ChoiceBoxes, they display correctly in some browsers (isn't Unicode fairly universal by now? Do most browsers support it?), but not correctly when I try to put them into a TextField, using this simple code:
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.getKeyChar() == '/') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2228');
if(e.getKeyChar() == '.') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2283');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
if(e.getKeyChar() == ',') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2261');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Er, forgot to mention, the chars display as either a
black bar, sort of a square, This happens when there is no suitable font for the codepoint, and the system doesn't know how to convert a codepoint to another codepoint for which there is a suitable font. The latter mechanism allow to use non-unicode fonts with unicode chars.
a question mark, That's possibly another issue. '?' usually appears while
converting chara�ter into bytes, specifically if an encoding doesn't have an appropriate rule for a particular character.
For example, the "Cp1251" encoding knows nothing of Greek characters, and so converts them into ?'s.
Such conversion may occur when a java string is passed
into a native window system, because such systems often are non-unicode.
and an equal signCompletely illegal behaviour, usually occurs in very old JVM's.
Note that Swing is always correct with unicode.

FM "GUI_UPLOAD " File type 'DAT' with UNICODE

Hi all,
 Were using UNICODE and we have developed a FM which upload the data from application server as well as from presentation server. Its based on selection screen options. We are using GUI_UPLOAD FM in our function module. We have hardcode file type as DAT.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
 EXPORTING
 FILENAME = Z_FILENAME
 FILETYPE = 'DAT'
 HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
 TABLES
 DATA_TAB = T_INPUT
But when were uploading file from presentation server as CSV, Tab delimited or even XLS .its giving an error. Why is that? Is this any thing to do with UNICODE? What should be the type of file DAT?
Please give your suggestions/input.
Thanks
Bye

Why We cant user file type 'DAT' with GUI_UPLOAD ?
Im defining the structure as per file and rests of things are fine.
Thanks for the reply...!
GUI_UPLOAD HELP !!!
Value range
'DAT'
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be separated by tabs. No conversion exits are carried out.
The following applies for the different data types:
I or N or P or F
The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation defined in the user settings.
D The date must be defined according to the date format defined in the user settings.
T The time must have the format hh:mm:ss.

Performance of JEditorPane with unicode characters

Hi,
I'm using a JEditorPane to edit rather large (> 15000 words) but simple HTML files. Everyting is fine until I add even a single unicode character to the text with a character code higher than 255, like a Greek omega (\u03A9). With the unicode character the control starts to take an incredibly long time to redraw (sometimes minutes) when you resize it, for instance. The strangest thing is that removing the character again does not restore performance. Can anyone explain why this is happening?
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit;
public class EditorPaneTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
StringBuffer html = new StringBuffer();
html.append("<html><body>");
// Uncomment next line, run and resize frame to see problem
// html.append("\u03A9");
for (int i = 0; i < 2000; i++) {
html.append("Testing, testing, testing...");
html.append("</body></html>");
JFrame jFrame = new JFrame("Test");
jFrame.setSize(300, 300);
JEditorPane jEditorPane = new JEditorPane();
jEditorPane.setEditorKit(new HTMLEditorKit());
jFrame.add(new JScrollPane(jEditorPane));
jFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JInternalFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jFrame.setVisible(true);
jEditorPane.setText(html.toString());
}Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rasmus

In the meantime, I had to solve my problem one way or another, and the only thing that came up to my mind was to use JavaMail API.
It is not quite what I was hoping for, because it doesn't provide opening of default e-mail client on local machine, but at least it can send e-mail with Unicode characters in the subjects line, recipient addresses, etc.
Make a new message using JavaMail and then set it's properties in a fairly simple manner, like this:
message.setSubject( MimeUtility.encodeText("+ ... some Unicode text with Cyrillic symbols ... +", "UTF-8", "B") );I'd still like to see if there are any suggestions on how to do the similar thing with java.awt.Desktop.

Need a little help with RAF logic

So Im making a program to give different users, different rights. This is the method that appends them to file and Map
     * Writes the players rights to the appendages
     * @param playerName Player to update
     * @param playerRights Rights to give the player
     * @param pointer The lines index in the files
     * @throws IOException If a read/write error occours
    public void writeRights(String playerName, Rights playerRights, long pointer) throws IOException {
        rightsRAF.seek(pointer);
        rightsRAF.write(("\n" + playerName + "::" + playerRights).getBytes());
        if(rightsRAF.read() != '\n') {
            rightsRAF.seek(rightsRAF.getFilePointer()-1);
            rightsRAF.write("\n".getBytes());
        rightsMap.put(playerName, playerRights);
    }1. The RAF goes to the predetermined index in the file, pointer, which is the line the users name starts on. Entries are stored in the file as "name::RIGHTS"
2.It writes out the players name, and rights
3. It checks to see if it accidentally wrote over the \n
My problem now, is that some rights are longer than others. For example, if there was already an entry, "name::MODERATOR" and you overwrite it, with "name::OWNER" then it would turn into "name::OWNERATOR" because the rest of the line wasn't overwritten.
I need some help with logic to determine how to overwrote the entire line, because sometimes you could go from a short one, to a long one, and need to append a new \n character, and sometimes you could go the other way around from long to short and end up with two words fused, I cant figure out how to determine whats a word that got partially overwritten and whats a new line totally.
Thanks

As pointed out you need to have fixed size records, or at least a maximum size.
You also have another problem nobody commented on yet (I don't think) with the getBytes() calls. At that point in your code you will mangle most unicode Strings.
All things being equal here I think your best solution is to use an embedded database like JavaDB with JDBC. I think you will find an XML solution to slow for your purposes.
If you decide to continue the RAF route though here is an example. I know this is not exactly what you are doing but you can extrapolate from this...
public void updatePlayerName(String playerName, int playerIndex){
   int recordlength = 200;
   byte[] buff = playerName.getBytes("UTF-8");
   if(buff.length>recordlength){
      //truncate bytes. this is also not great because a character at the end could be mangled
      byte[] temp = new byte[recordlength];
      System.arraycopy(buff,0,temp,0,temp.length);
      buff = temp;
   long pointer = playerIndex * (recordlength+4);// plus 4 bytes per record for actual length
   raf.seek(pointer);
   raf.writeInt(buff.length);
   raf.write(buff);
public String getPlayerName(int playerindex){
    int recordlength = 200;
    long pointer = playerIndex * (recordlength+4);
    raf.seek(pointer);
    int lengthToRead = raf.readInt();
    //length to read should be checked for sanity or bad things will happen next
    byte[] buff = new byte[lengthToRead];
    raf. readFully(buff);
    return new String(buff,"UTF-8");
}And then of course you'd have to add storing the "rights". It gets complicated in a hurry. I do really recommend the JDBC route.
