HKSCS-2004 by Hong Kong Government

Does anyone know when Oracle 9i or 10g provide support for HKSCS-2004 (both formal code points and PUA code points)?
http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/eng/hkscs/mapping_table.html

Thank you very much.
Actually, I have done some tests in our 9.2.0.3.0 DB. I presume it supports HKSCS-1999 (all Big5 codes as well as all code points located in PUA and ISO 10646-1:2000 points). Among the 4,702 characters, 4,696 survive after round-trip conversion with a pair of convert() calls between ZHT16HKSCS and AL16UTF16.
For the remaining 6 characters:
i) \3C18, \4491 and \FFED all became xA148 (double width question mark in Big5) and then \FF1F.
i) \3C18 cannot be mapped to ZHT16HKSCS (while its PUA counterpart, \EEA1, can be mapped).
ii) \4491 cannot be mapped to ZHT16HKSCS (while its PUA counterpart, \F7EA, can be mapped).
iii) \FFED cannot be mapped to ZHT16HKSCS (while there is really a HKSCS-Big5 counterpart).
iv) \F53A cannot be mapped to ZHT16HKSCS (while it can be mapped to ZHT16MSWIN950).
v) \ED64 is converted to \47B6 (I think they have the same glyph indeed).
vi) \F907 is converted to \9F9C. For this pair, I don't think they are the same characters.
I also found that the Big5 UDA/VDA codes are convert()'ed to formal ISO 10646 code points whenever possible. It's so unfortunate that I don't have any 10g DB for testing.

  • How to show HKSCS fonts and Hong Kong Govt fonts in BI publisher reports?

    Dear all,
    Would anyone please advise how to show HKSCS fonts and Hong Kong Govt fonts in BI publisher reports?
    If we choose to use Arial Unicode MS, not all characters are shown properly.
    Thanks and Regards,
    HY

    Hi Ananth,
    In our case, some special Chinese characters are supplemented by another font called "Ming ISO 10646" provided by HK government. This font does not cover the common Chinese characters. That means when we show the common Chinese characters, we need to use the fonts "MingLiu" provided by Microsoft. But if we need to show the additional special Chinese characters, we need to use the "Ming ISO10646" font.
    In BI Publisher, we create a font set which includes these two fonts. However, when we run the report, it only uses the MingLiu font, but cannot use the Ming ISO10646 font. Pls advise.

  • The charsetalias.properties file is gone in Firefox 4? Most web sites in Hong Kong use the Big5-HKSCS charset but declare the charset as Big5. Without charsetalias.properties, the encoding needs to be manually changed very often when viewing them.

    I have been defining Big5 as an alias of Big5-HKSCS in charsetalias.properties. This makes Firefox renders pages declared as "Big5" to be rendered in Big5-HKSCS instead. Big5-HKSCS is a standard published by the Hong Kong government because the Big5 charset does not contain many common Chinese characters used in Hong Kong. However, Big5-HKSCS is just an extension of Big5, so most (if not all) Chinese web sites in Hong Kong using Big5-HKSCS declare their pages to be in Big5 in the <meta> tag.
    I am now trying out Firefox 4 RC and found that the charsetalias.properties file is no longer there. So in order to read pages containing characters that are in Big5-HKSCS but not in Big5, I need to switch the encoding manually. This is extremely inconvenient. Can you consider bringing charsetalias.properties back?
    [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.i18n/browse_thread/thread/415caa98a6246a00 Someone noticed this issue as well.]

    Here's the script I was working on.
    It determines the encoding of the site by checking a couple of different ways the meta tag can supply encodings. One way is to have a charset attribute on a meta tag, and the other way is to have a meta tag with http-equiv="content-type" and have charset= be part of the content attribute.
    (note: I think [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.characterSet document.characterSet()] might be a far more reliable way to detect encoding since it doesn't depend on the specific way the meta tag was written. But I haven't tested it.)
    Debugging messages showed that it could detect the specified encodings fine on the few test pages I was trying it on. The problem is in the way I change the encoding.
    It currently uses .setAttribute to attempt to modify the meta tags once it finds the encodings. Unfortunately, this doesn't change the selected encoding in Firefox. It doesn't affect the page source, either.
    I have to replace those setAttribute calls with something that will actually affect the selected encoding in Firefox.... but I'm not sure what would accomplish that.

    Just a little warning, it's case- and whitespace-sensitive because I didn't get around to using regular expressions yet. So if a page says charset="BIG5", you'll probably need to make it uppercase in the script as well. Sorry, I'm lazy!
    Nonetheless, I ''hope'' this is a start...

  • Apple store for IFC - Hong Kong

    Hi There,
    Is here any peers can help to advise or test if it's my own provider/devices problem that unable connect to Hong Kong IFC Store from Apple Store Apps?
    I was trying to reserve a Genius Bar during the time I'm near the store, and even now,
    is here any one can answer this question or giving some advise on this?
    thanks.

    I really don't think that this is the issue, but it has more to do with what Apple is allowed to sell in different countries of the world .... Copyright, licensing or government regulations all being the factors involved.
    As far as I know, you must use a credit card that is registered to a valid address in the country of the store in which you want to purchase - so do you have a Hong Kong/Chinese credit card registered to an address there in Hong Kong?

  • My iTunes on my iPod touch is all in Hong Kong dollars where as it should be in English pounds. What should I do?

    My iTunes on my iPod touch has changed from pounds to Hong Kong dollars and I want it to change back as I can not buy anything. What do I do to fix it? Please help. Thanks x

    Take a look at the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple in this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Hope those help.
    Your iPod touch will never appear in Windows Explorer, by the way. It doesn't have the "disk mode" that the older iPods did.

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • Can I send an e-mail to a fax number(to hong kong).If so,how?

    'Have been trying to e-mail a retail shop in hk who liste-mail address as [email protected],but keep receiving failure notices.

    I just sent them a test email and it comes back with the error: "User is over quota". So it sounds like their Inbox is full.
    Here's the Whois page for them: [http://whois.domaintools.com/stanleymarket.com.hk Stanley Market Hong Kong] Maybe you can try the email addy listed there instead.
    There's a very useful Add-on you can consider adding to your collection called '''Flagfox'''. It adds the country's flag to the location bar when you go to a site and by right clicking that, you can check who owns the site - ''which is how I was able to give you the Whois info'' - and lots of other useful stuff. You can install it from here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flagfox/ Flagfox 4.1.1] It's been downloaded 13 million times which has to be a record I think.
    Sorry, forgot to answer your original question. No, you can't send an email to a fax number.

  • How can I get my iPhone inspected/fixed (in Hong Kong)?

    I have just had an extremely unhelpful experience with Apple Store/Support, and am wondering if anyone has tips on how to get my iPhone repaired quicker.  I live in Hong Kong, so this is probably only of interest to community members here.
    My iPhone broke down over the weekend.  Half an hour or so ago, I visited the Apple Store in IFC Mall, and discovered it is now a requirement to make an online booking to seek help from the Genius Bar.  Luckily, an available member of staff did try to assist me.  So far so good.  After tinkering with my phone for a while, he concluded that I needed to have my phone inspected and, for that, I would need to make an online booking.  So I went back to my office and tried to book, only to find that "there are no available appointments".  I called the store, and discover that it is only possible to book for today and tomorrow.  The person on the phone tells me that I can try to book again later.  Bear in mind it is only 10am-ish here in Hong Kong, and bookings for the next 48 (working) hours are already full.  I do not want to risk waiting till tomorrow and discovering that, again, bookings are full.  The guy suggests that I try another store.  I am not keen as I work literally upstairs from the IFC Mall store and the others are far less convenient.  Reluctantly, I try to book elsewhere, but there are also no available appoitments at the other 2 Apple Stores either.  There are a small number of authorised support service providers dotted around Hong Kong, but none are terribly convenient, plus I prefer to do this via the Apple Store if at all possible - and preferably downstairs at the IFC Mall store so that drop-off and eventual pick-up can be easily done while at work.
    Is it just me or is this system very consumer-unfriendly?  I asked to speak to a manager at the IFC Mall store to ask if I could just drop my phone off for an inspection, and I was told (a) there isn't a manager in-store and (b) I could leave my name and number and a manager will call me back "in 48 hours".  Meanwhile, my phone does not work at all, yet all I need to do is to drop off my phone for an inspection (I don't even need anyone to look at it).  I have no idea if this is how the Genius Bar works in the rest of the world so maybe my expectations are too high.
    Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get some help from Apple on this?

    I'm pleased to report after a bit of persuasion, a second visit to the IFC Mall store this afternoon got me an ad hoc appointment at the Genius Bar so my phone is off for a repair now.

  • How can I delete a subscribed calendar, Hong Kong holidays from calendar on Ipad 4. This was inserted through a hacked gmail account.

    I Have an ipad 4 with ios 7. Through clicking on a link sent in a hacked gmail account, a 'subscribed' calendar, named Hong Kong holidays has been inserted into my calendar. How do I delete this calendar and how does it affect my personal details?
    I have changed my password.
    THank you

    Hi Cigire34,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Are you syncing the iPad with a computer and do you see the account on your computer? It sounds like you may have Google Calendar account setup on your iPad, which will have to be deleted from settings or the Google site. The instructions in the following article should help.
    iOS: Syncing multiple Google CalDAV calendars
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4372
    After adding your Google Calendar account using Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account… > Other > Add CalDAV Account, the primary calendar will sync with your device.
    To sync additional Google Calendars, you must configure them using this tool on the Google website. Note that you must log in to your Google account to access this page.
    Cheers!

  • Which ipad to buy, to be used in hong kong?

    someone asked me to buy an ipad, and it will be used in hong kong.
    since the newer version has 3g and 4g in it, and i have the option to buy it with att, verizon or sprint 4g.
    and what differences among those 3? 
    i don't know which one of the 3 that i should choose? or does it matter which one that i pick?
    the person can still use the 3g network in hk, right?
    thanks.

    ok, silly me. i just called apple sales directly. they told me that att use gsm which is world standard.
    so i should buy the one with att 4g on it.
    so now i have answered my own question.

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • Can i use the iphone in Hong Kong?

    Can i use the iphone in Hong Kong?

    You can't use it in Hong Kong with a local carrier if your phone is carrier locked to your current carrier.  No info in your post to detemine whether that's the case.  You can use if you want to pay high roaming charges.
