How to add special characters like üöä to a rss feed?

Hello,
I've (again) a small problem. In my podcast I use the header
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0"
    xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
    xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
    xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
    xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
    xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
    xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"
    xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd"
    xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"
>
and encoding UFT-8. Every time I add special characters like the German Ö Ä or Ü to my feed, the feed stops working. The validator says that characters like üöä are no UTF-8 characters which is correct of course, but a second podcast which I listen to, uses the same header like I do but it contains the same special characters and it works. Does anyone know what the difference is?
This is my podcast feed which does not work with üöä
http://quartett.planeteternia.org/rssfeed.xml
That's a podcast feed (not mine) which works with üöä
http://technikwuerze.de/feed/
Thank you very much
Kind regards

http://quartett.planeteternia.org/newsfeed.xml - there is no file at this address. You have a feed at
http://quartett.planeteternia.org/rssfeed.xml
but there are no diacriticals in it - presumably you've removed them.
The other feed simply includes the diacriticals - it's not using html encoding to display them - so I don't know why you should be having trouble. You need to be writing the text in a plain text editor, not a word processor, and I don't know whether there is an issue with Windows here.
You could try using the codes - they must be the numbered not the named codes:
ü is ü
ö is ö
ä is ä

How to add special characters into numbers?

Hi, I wonder how can I add special characters like the one in the "Edit" menu for the Mac versions? Thanks.

It all depends what exactly you are talking about, so if you tell us, someone can help you. Some can be made from the keyboard, others you would need to copy/paste from an app like Unicode Map.

How to show Special Characters like (∠) in an Embedded text field

I want to show some special characters like (∠). It is working fine if we don't embed the text field. But I want to use superscript and subscript font, so I have to embed that dynamic text field. When I embedd the texfield it does not show me the (∠) symbol. Instead it shows me a square symbol. Please let me know how can I solve this problem. My project is nearly finish except for this part.
Thanks in advance
Salim

Yes, I know we need to include the symbols. But I am unable to include it. Whenever I click on embed option and paste the symbol (∠) in the include these characters box, it appears as a square symbol. This is driving me nuts.
I even tried to embed All (54665 glyphs). But this is not working either.
Has anyone faced this problem before?

How to convert special characters like #, &, etc occuring in the input string

Hi,
          I am using method 'Get' to submit a form . When ever there is any
          special character like '#' in my input For example "033#Test", nothing
          gets posted beyond 033.
          Can any one please let me know how do I overcome this problem.
          Thanks in advance.
          Regards,

Moinuddin:
          It seems possible your browser may be confused by the fact that 033 is
          the octal representation for an ESCape character (Hex 1B). Try dropping
          the leading zero. In addition, it is usually better to represent special
          characters like the hash mark "#" using HTML character entities instead
          of literals, i.e. # = hash mark

How to add special characters in Flash CS3

Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
Does anybody know of any possible solution?

Before you send the form parameters you need to url-encode them. Like this:String param1="param=033#Test";
String encodedParam1 = java.net.URLEncoder.encode(param1);Then send the encoded version, which if you examine it you will see looks like "033%25Test".

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.

How to handle special characters in Apex

Hi ,
In my application I have two regions - one is Report Region (Interactive Report) and other one is HTML region with two text items - Empno and name
My Report has two columns Empno(varchar2) and Ename(varchar2).
When I click the edit link in the report column, the empno should have a read only EMPNO value and ename is a text field with ENAME value.
When I run my application I have encountered the following problems :
1. if my empno has special characters like ' # ', the characters after that is not getting displayed
2. if my empno has special characters like ',' - the characters after comma is treated as a next texitem value

Don't pass data values in URLs. Whilst it is possible to escape values to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Create a surrogate primary key on the table that is an immutable discrete numeric identifier and only use this as a URL parameter. In target pages/regions, use this PK value to retrieve the required data from the table.

How to preserve special characters in dynamic textfield for text comparison?

The problem is as follows:
Since I mostly develop for multiple languages I am forced to have dynamic textfields in my buttons which contain three lines (to account for the differnt text.lengths in different languages).
I then populate the textfields with strings out of an array or xml and use the textfields contents later in my button class to execute different code depending on the textfields content.
This works fine as long as I don`t use any special characters, like for example "\n".
var labels:Array = ["\nLABEL1","LABEL\n\n2"];
switch (e.currentTarget.txt.text)
                case labels[0]:
                    doSomething();
                    break;
                case labels[1]:
                    doSomethingElse();
                    break;
shows the right thing in the button label (breaks the text were I want it)
but stops to work
(with htmlText & <br> its the same)
my workaround for the moment is to use filler spaces,
var labels:Array = ["                   LABEL1","LABEL                                                                        2"];
but that`s obviously ugly to setUp and requires a lot of trial/error to get it right for all languages.
Any ideas how to bypass that?

Bad habits die hard ;-)
Weird enough spelling the problem out and getting this response from you cleared my head and I finally got an easy solution.
I simply attach a dynamic property to the movieclip, copy the array contents into them and instead of using the text-property for comparison I compare the MovieClips fresh created spectext property.
Voila: Now I can be lazy without too much of a bad conscience.

How to Handle Special Characters in PI7.1

Hi Team,
I need to handle some special characters like <,>,& etc.. from WS Adapter to CRM in PI 7.1.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9420 [original link is broken]
By using the above blog i had implemented the Java Code as
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out){
try{
int read_data;
while((read_data = in.read()) != -1){
if (read_data == '&'){
out.write("&".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '>'){
out.write(">".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '<'){
out.write("<".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '/'){
out.write("&frasl;".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '\''){
out.write("'".getBytes());
else { out.write(read_data);
out.flush();
} catch (Exception e){}
I had added this class file in Operational Mapping.
It is working if we have only one IF condition for & in while
Any suggestion
Thanks
Sriram

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for your inputs, I have tried your code but it is not working. The error message stays the same.
Dear Stephane,
To describe the error more, the requirement is the payload coming from source through WS Adapter consists of the special characters <, > , & which are basic sematics of XML syntax. I need PI to process this payload with special characters and successfully transfer it to target CRM system. I have created the Java class with code (ref: Blog 9420) as stated earlier and added this class to my existing Operation Mapping. I am expecting the java mapping to replace the special characters in payload like < with ">" . So as the case with the other characters >,&,'
After activaton of my operation mapping, I triggered the test message with Soap UI client and I could able to get a successful mapping only When I put the logic for &ampersand symbol only. However when I am trying to add the logic for > or < or ' the mapping is failing . I am using UTF-8 encoding across the source and PI enviroments.

What are "special characters"? Can you list all of them?
Do you want to find rows where string_column contains any of the special characters? If so
SELECT     string_column
FROM     table_x
WHERE     string_column     != NVL ( TRANSLATE ( string_column
                                    , 'A(%$*&@,;'/+-'
                            , 'A'
                      , 'A'
;I assume 'A' is not a special character.
You could also use regular expressions, but it will be more efficient if you don't use them unless you really need to.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
You'll get better replies sooner if you always include this information whenever you have a question.

Hi Sandra,
First of all thaks for your quick answer to my problem.
I see what you mean and get the same result, if I am using data-type string instead of xstring. But the recommendation in the XML-Books of SAP is to use XSTRING to save memory and circumflex problems between Codepages, when writing the XML-Stream to a filesystem.
As you can see in the code abvoe I am using a SAP-FM to display the XML-Stream and this FM works only with XSTRING´s,
that is one reason why I don´t understand that it displays it in the wrong way.
Even the Debugger shows me for the XSTRING the wrong result. Does all that mean that the escaping will not be applyed if you are working with XSTING´s??
