How to read Chinese Characters in iTunes?

Hi all,
Is there anyone who can enlighten me on how I can read chinese characters in iTunes? I have quite a number of Chinese songs that I wish to be played in iTunes, but I noticed that it does not read the chinese song titles and had small rectangles in place of the chinese characters.
I tried using a third-party software lke NJStar, but the chinese characters resulted were crammed together and were not legible.
Please help. Thanks.

now instead of small
little squares, there are funny symbols and letters
that don't make any sense whenever there are
supposedly chinese characters.
That probably means that the id3 tags on your songs are not encoded correctly. I understand that the program ConvertZ can help fix this.

How to read chinese characters with Nano

I transfered some chinese songs to my Nano using iTunes.
But now i can't read the characters...

Please always tell people what OS you are using.
Most likely the ID3 tags for the songs are not encoded correctly for the iPod. See this note for some info:

If you are running Windows, there is a program called ConvertZ that may help.

In WinXP, you do need to do something special to enable Chinese support. See this page:

How can Mail of OS X Mountain Lion read Chinese Characters?

Mail cannot read Chinese characters. Message looks like a series of "??????". However, Safari can read Chinese characters. What setting can make Mail read Chinese Characters?

Normally that indicates an encoding glitch, where the email headers are not telling Mail the right encoding to use. The first thing to try is Message > Text Encoding and see if UTF-8 or one of the various Chinese encodings give the right display.
Also go to View > Message > Raw Source and tell us what you see in the headers that say "charset= ".

How to insert chinese characters on local machine and if i want to insert on the remote databse (i can not create database link for remote database). I have to send batch file or SQL file and they will execute it on their side.
if i use this command
alter session set nls_language = "SIMPLIFIED CHINESE"
and then insert the records and revert back to japanese character set. Is this correct way....?
Thanks in advance,
Pal

As dombrooks has pointed out, unless all the Chinese characters you are trying to store can be represented in the Shift-JIS character set, which seems unlikely, but I'm not an expert on East Asian languages and I believe there are some glyphs that are shared between various languages, then you're not going to be able to store this data in this database in CHAR or VARCHAR2 columns.
Depending on the national character set, you may be able to store the data in NCHAR/ NVARCHAR2 columns, though using these data types can substantially increase application complexities since various languages and libraries don't support NCHAR/ NVARCHAR2 columns or require you to jump through some hoops to use them. Your applications would also have to support both character sets, so your applications would all have to be Unicode enabled most likely, which is certainly possible but it may not be a trivial change.

How to read Korean characters using Java program?

In Oracle table, i am having Korean characters, how to read those characters using JDBC and insert into SQL Server?
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is UTF8

What data type is the column in the Oracle table? The NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET would control the encoding of NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 columns. The NLS_CHARACTERSET would control the encoding of CHAR and VARCHAR2 columns.

How to display Chinese characters in Oracle?

I am using Oracle 8i with Language settings as AMERICA.
I am displaying records which is contain Chinese characters.
But it is not displayed properly in Oralce.
How to change the settings to display Chinese characters?
Thanks

It could be possible to display Chinese characters using SQL Developer without any specific NLS_LANG setting because SQL Developer is using JDBC which doesn't use NLS_LANG setting according to When is NLS_LANG used ?.
For example, I'm able to display the following Chinese character in SQL Developer 1.2.0 on Windows XP Pro with French Windows setting and NLS_LANG set in Windows registry to FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1.
select unistr('\8349') from dual;

Hi Srini,
I am working on 9.0.3 EBS 11i.
Now i am able to encode using the below code:
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uploadedByteStream.getInputStream(),"UTF-8"));
if(linetext[7]!=null&&!"".equalsIgnoreCase(linetext[7]))
col8=linetext[7].toString();
vendor = new String(linetext[7].getBytes("UTF-8"),"EUC_CN");
Now i am able to encode to chinese character when the file is in ANSI encoding, i see the CSV data in some form(not chinese).
But when the file is in UTF-8 , and i can see the CSV data in Chinese (when i open in edit plus) , the encoding is not proper. when i remove the encoding the chinese data is coming properly.
The data i am printing on the OAF screen.
Now my doubt is : What type of file shd i be uploading ANSI/UTF-8????
When i see on the local jdev as sop's , the data is seen as ???? but on the screen its printing correctly.
but the data has to be passed to pl/sql procedure.
Regards,
Roopa.

Unable to read chinese characters in a flat file to external table

Hi All,
We have a flat file containing data in chinese. We are using external table to read data in files. When i do select <coulmn-name> from <table> it displays box for the chinese characters. The column is of type varchar2.
The NLS_LANGUAGE is AMERICAN and NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
The character set is mentioed as UTF8 in external table defnition.
Is the external table not reading these charcters properly? Should any patch be installed or some settings should be changed for sql developer to to display chinese character?

The NLS_LANG environment variable/registry string variable (You are just one of the 1000s of 'anonymous' users refusing to post platform and version), so NOT NLS_LANGUAGE, on the server hosting the file, should be set to anything ending in .AL32UTF8

How to read chinese in N97 Mini?

How can it read chinese in texting and web browsing?
Any software can be installed to solve?

Language support on Nokia phones is a bit of an embarrassment, to be honest. It's pretty hopeless.
As an end user there's nothing you can do yourself. What you can do is take the phone to your nearest Nokia Care Point and ask them to install a Chinese language pack for you. This will give the phone support for Chinese ideograms, both for display and for input. However, please bear in mind that:
1) Not all NCPs will do this for you. Some will claim that it's impossible, and indeed it may well be impossible if you got your phone from an operator rather than SIM-free from an independent retailer or direct from Nokia.
2) You may well be charged for this. The absence of Chinese language support in a phone intended for the UK market is not a fault in the phone, so the warranty cannot be invoked.
3) If you update the firmware at a later date, the chances are that this will wipe out the language pack that was installed and you'll have to have it installed again.

Store&read chinese characters in MS SQL server 2000 using Java

Hi,
I have a problem to store Chinese characters in MS SQL Server 2000, storing question marks(??????) instead of Chinese characters
I am using JSF framework, SUN APPLICATION Server 9.1 , MS SQL Server 2000 server and Microsoft data source driver class (com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource) to connect db.
I have one solution:
IN JSP:
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
and
In database column type should nvarchar in place of varchar
while inserting or updating the same need to add N prefix with the value like insert into client(Name, Id .) values (N+)
the above is working fine but the problem is here i have already defined database with 100s of tables I cant change database tables as well as queries
Thanks,
Sathi

I don't know any betterer option, than to copy the database tabels redefining the Chinese data fields as nvarchar.
To be frank I had also problems writing to a html file Chinese text stored in MS SQLServer 2000 nvarchar fields.
The following worked:'
     public String getEncodedData(ResultSet resultSet, int columnIndex, String charset)
     throws SQLException
          //final String methodName = "getEncodedData";
          InputStream binaryStream =resultSet.getBinaryStream(columnIndex);
          String readStringFromStream=readStringFromStream(binaryStream, charset);//UTF_16LE);
          return readStringFromStream;
     public String readStringFromStream(InputStream inputStream, String charset) {
          final String methodName = "readStringFromStream";
          StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
          try {
               int ch;
               InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(inputStream, charset);
               Reader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
               while ((ch = in.read()) > -1) {
                    buffer.append((char)ch);
               in.close();
               return buffer.toString();
          } catch (IOException exception) {
               Log.printError(this,methodName, exception);
               return null;
     }And writing it to file:
     public void writeEncodedStringToFile(String text, String filePath, String charset, boolean append){
          final String methodName = "writeEncodedStringToFile";
          OutputStreamWriter writer= null;
          try {
               FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(filePath, append);
               writer = new OutputStreamWriter(fileOutputStream, charset);
               writer.write(text);
          } catch (IOException exception) {
               Log.printError(this,methodName, exception);
          }finally{
               try {
                    writer.close();
               } catch (IOException exception) {
                    Log.printError(this,methodName, exception);

How to insert chinese characters in a table use FDK?

Hello~~
I am expecting to insert chinese characters in an XML file's table.
I'm using FDK7.2, if i use:
F_ApiAddText(docId, &tRange.beg, "asdf");
The English letters "asdf" can be insert correctly in the right place,
But, if insert chinese characters like this:
F_ApiAddText(docId, &tRange.beg, "人们");
No characters insert.
How can i solve this problem?
Please advise
Thanks
zhaopeng

Zhaopeng,
Which encoding are you using for the Chinese characters? FrameMaker 7.2 does not support Unicode or UTF-8. I have not done this before, but I guess you need to supply the characters in Big5 resp. GBK encoding, see
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/8.0/chinese_korean.pdf
[Ignore the 8.0 in the URL, the document talks about FrameMaker 7]
You also may have to make sure the paragraph format at your text location uses a Chinese font before inserting characters.
