The most common ones for European languages can be created with the normal US keyboard layout using alt/option dead keys. alt + e, then e gives you é. A list:

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 can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?
I have a few large documents written in word 2003 format and now I work on them under word 2007.
Such large documents containing lots of special characters. I want to change them into Microsoft 3.0 equation form（It is required by the team). I find no way but using function AddOLEObject and Sendkeys through VBA. Common characters can be added
to equation by function Sendkeys, but the return value of Asc() or AscW() for "double arrow", "in" , " not greater than " such special characters or signs, to name but a few are the same ,i.e., 40 And I cannot distinguish them.
I found the link http://msdn.itags.org/word/44333/ may be of use to me, and the title is:
How to read symbols from a DOC documents! (Microsoft Word)
the original question is
Using function "InsertSymbol", I can insert a symbol into a document. But
how can I read a symbol from a document?
Using "Characters(i).range.text", I can read a char. But when meeting a
symbol, the value of "Characters(i).range.text" is always '('.How can I get the CharacterNumber of the symbol.
And the final answer is :
Hi chenfeng,
Word protects symbols from symbol fonts if you insert them from the "Insert
> Symbol" dialog.
This is done so they aren't changed when you change the font or style. But
it also results in Word reporting AscW( ) = 40 on all of them.
I've posted a macro to "unprotect" them (or to protect them again if you
want) ... just today again in

How do you insert special characters with imovie 08?

How do you insert special characters into a project
with imovie 08?

Don't think that would work. Since my "system date" is already set at 2007. I have 2 imports, one has the year as 2048, and the other at 2016!! I don't know where they are getting these dates from, but they are not the system date.
Were the files imported directly from a camcorder or from files already on your hard drive? In the first case the year may have been taken from the time "stamp" recorded when the footage was shot (which may or may not have been correctly set by the user). On the other hand, files imported from the hard drive seem to be keyed to the date the imported file is written to the "Events" folder which, of course, reflects the current system time/date setting. That's why I said you had to then import (re-import) the files from a hard drive source -- i.e., to ensure the DTG would be re-written.

How to identify the special characters

Hi all,
is there any way to identify all the special characters that are already in the various columns of a table,
thanks
db is on 8i
Edited by: venkata_sudheer on Apr 3, 2009 8:44 AM

Hello,
I don't know what's your requriment is and how do you want to handle or treat these special characters but check this function, you can pass special character and it will return back the number or you can extend this function to do the reverse (chr(37) 37=%).
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ascii_only (p_txt IN VARCHAR2)
   RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
   v_number   NUMBER;
   v_char     VARCHAR2 (3 BYTE);
BEGIN
   v_char := SUBSTR (p_txt, 1, 1);
   v_number := (ASCII (v_char));
   DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (v_number || ':' || v_char);
   RETURN v_number;
END;

How do you add special Characters???

Does anyone know how to add special characters like accents to words in pages '08???

There are several other threads that deal with this in detail.
On the Mac since almost day one, most of the accents are created by first typing option plus one of the vowels/consonants, followed by the vowel/consonants to which the accent is added. Some are direct alternatives, try them and see what they do.
eg
*Indirect accents*
option e plus e = é also á, é, í, ó, ú
option i plus e = ê also î, â, ô, û
option u plus e = ë, ï, ä, ü, ö
option n plus n = ñ
*Direct accents*
option a = å
option o plus e = ø
option c = ç
option s = ß (now obsoleted)
option w = ∑ (because it looks like a sideways w)
option f = ƒ
option t = †
option v = √ (square root character, which looks like a v)
etc
I have always marvelled at the common sense approach that Apple used compared with the way the Windows programmers did it.
To delve into the much more intricate world of Unicode characters go to:

How can I enter special characters in a text title?

Hello to all!
Have been trying to get in a special character [the tick mark] onto a text title on my current project. Had gone to the special character option under EDIT menu, and added the desired special character to the 'favourite' list, but after that I do not know how to move ahead. Would like help.
Thanks to all.
Dr. Somanna

Thank you for your reply.
However I am afraid that neither double click nor drag/drop is adding the character to the text.
Is there any other method to get special characters into FCPX?

Photoshop elements doesn't have a Glyphs panel or menu.

How to replace XML special characters using Xpress e.g. ' = '

Hellos
I need to write some XML built from resource data.
The resource data strings can contain anything e.g. & ' " < and > characters.
How do I replace these characters with the strings & ' " etc.... from within Xpress?
I try something like:-
<set name='testchar'>
<switch>
<ref>thisLetter</ref>
<case>
<s>'</s>
<s>'</s>
</case>
<case>
<s>"</s>
<s>"</s>
</case>
<case default='true'>
<ref>thisLetter</ref>
</case>
</switch>
</set>
But when saved the <s>'</s> gets saved as <s>'</s>
Is this impossible with Xpress forcing me to invoke my own Java class? (which is a pain to do because of internal politics re restarting of App Server).

Hmmmm seems there is transformation in this set up too.
What I am trying to do is to parse a string which may or may not contain XML special characters into an XML acceptable string.
e.g. transform the surname O'Connor into O&apos ;Connor (with no embedded blank)
I wish to write a rule which uses XPress language to achieve this.
I want to convert the character ' into the string &apos ; (with no blank between apos and ;) and similar for the other XML specials.
Is this possible?

How to find the 'special characters' window

Hi,
Frequently I want to access the 'special characters' window, but when I click on the 'special characters' menu item the window does not appear. Sometimes I later find it on another screen (I use nine screens in Spaces), and sometimes can I see it on another screen using Expose, but when I go there it has disappeared. It seems a very fugitive tool, and in its way displays some cute, personality........ But I would love to know how to find it or to force it to appear on the same screen as the application from which I tried to open it!
all the best,
Jeremy Harbinson

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried what you suggest - in the International section of the System Preferences there is a tab labelled 'input menu' and there is a check box (which is checked) titled 'Show input menu in Menu bar'. Unchecking that removes a national flag from the the menu bar, checking it restores that flag. So far, so good. If a click on the flag, a drop down menu appears with 'Hide character palette' as an item - clicking this changes it state to 'Show character palette' but clicking this (several times) changes nothing else that I can see,
all the best,
Jeremy

MOVE SOURCE_FIELDS-SGTXT TO INT_VAR.
TRANSLATE int_var TO UPPER CASE .
num = 0.
length = STRLEN( int_var ).
DO length TIMES.
   IF int_var+num(1) CN
   ',<>?/\:;"''ABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!%^&*()__+=1234567890'.
    int_var+num(1) = ''.
   ENDIF.
   num = num + 1.
ENDDO.
condense int_var NO-GAPS.
RESULT = int_var.

How do I add special characters from my favorites to text?

I have the new version of Numbers 3.5. In previous versions if I wanted to add foreign language symbols to the text, I only had to click my mouse from the "special characters" and it was added to the word I was typing. Today I am not able to use my Spanish vocabulary because I cannot add the necessary symbols. How do I use this feature in my document text?

Input from the Character Viewer normally requires double-clicking or drag/drop.
The special characters needed for spanish are also available by just holding down the key for the base letter. If you hold down the n key, you should get a popup menu where you can choose ñ.
There are also option key shortcuts for such letters. Option n then n will give you ñ.
