    How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
    Regards,
    Pandharinath.

    I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
    So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

    Hi Prashant ,
      What special characters would you like to include .
    There are a set of characters / icons /symbols that can be included in Script , for that open a window in edit mode and in the menu there will be an option called Insert  , here you can find a lot of characters/symbols that can be included .

  • 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 handle special characters in NWDI

    Dear All
    I am trying to update the Description from JSP form. Through JCO we are calling the RFC of ABAP. We are passing these description from Java to RFC of ABAP and this RFC update the text in Database.
    We have noticed that if there is some special character in description like as : š or ž, complete description is not getting updated in to the SAP database.
    Can anyone help me how to handle these special characters in Java. There may be N number of special characters. We want to generalize it. We want to replace these characters by s and z respectively.
    For example : We want to update this description.

    Hi Bhavishya,
    Apparently your SAP database isn't configured to support Unicode. That would be the first solution to your problem, but I can imagine it's a bit drastic to convert your DB.
    A second solution would be to encode the input description to ASCII before storing it in the database. When reading from the database, decode again to Unicode. This way, no information is lost. A suitable encoding would be Base64. e.g.
    String description = "šunday žebra";
    String descriptionBase64 = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(
      description.getBytes("UTF-8")); // ""
    // store descriptionBase64 in the DB
    // later, when reading descriptionBase64 from the DB
    String description2 = new String(
      new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(descriptionBase64), "UTF-8");
    Instead of using Sun's implementation, a better alternative is to use the open source implementation
    org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 from Commons Codec . 
    The 3rd approach is indeed to normalize the description by replacing all special characters with their ASCII equivalent. A rather easy solution is as follows:
    String description = "šunday žebra";
    String descriptionNormalized = sun.text.Normalizer.normalize(
      description, sun.text.Normalizer.DECOMP, 0).replaceAll(
      "[^p{ASCII}]", "");
    sun.text.Normalizer decomposes the string, e.g. "éàî" becomes "e´a`i^", after which non-ASCII characters are being removed using a regular expression.Again, note that it's usually a bad idea to use sun.* packages, see note about sun.* packages. The above code only works with J2SE 1.4 and J2SE 5.0, but it breaks in J2SE 6.0 (where
    java.text.Normalizer became part of the public API ;-). A good open source implementation can be found here: ICU4J (com.ibm.icu.text.Normalizer). 
    Kind regards,

    Dear gurus,
    i have a table emp with a field field_1

  • How to avoid special characters( #) via Utl_file Package

    Hello,
    I am using UTL_FILE package in order to read the text from a text file and insert this text into a table.
    But the text contain special character like #.
    This is the nature of this text data.
    For example the O/S text file contain the following text:
    TEXT:
    Name of the default schema being used in the current schema.
    Name of the default schema being used in the current schema.
    Name of the default schema being used in the current schema.
    Name of the default schema being used in the current schema.
    Name of the default schema being used in the current schema.
    Name of the default schema being used in the current schema.
    How should we avoid reading the following line via UTL_FILE from the text file?
    So the text without these special characters will be inserted into a table.
    I wanted that these special characters would not be inserted into a table via UTL_FILE.
    What code I can add in my following routine in order to avoid the reading of special characters # or a following line from the text file?
    Thanks
    Sharbat
    UTL FILE Code:
    Declare

    UTL_FILE.get_line(l_file_handle,l_buffer);
    insert into TEST (text) values(l_buffer);
    end loop;

  • 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?

  • 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.

    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).
