HT4528 Why do emoticons such as a smiley face translate as a J in email on Iphone

Smiley face translates as a J ????

This happens to me on my work e-mail but only when I send it to certain other co-workers but we all use the same e-mail serice.  Some see the smiley face, some see a J, which is odd cuz my name starts with that letter lol.

  • Why is it such a pain to use java in a country that uses commas as decimal?

    Why is it such a pain to use java in a country that uses commas as decimal separator?
    A few weeks back I've asked here about the keypad decimal key. For some reason, java doesn't map the decimal key to a comma on the Portuguese (Portugal) keyboard layout. I've got no answer and I ended up using a custom plainDocument on the JTextFields to replace all points with commas.
    Now, I've just spent the whole morning trying to store and use decimal numbers properly. For some reason, a Double/Float .valueOf method (or the corresponding parse method) simply ignores the locale in use and uses US defaults when parsing the string. I can't parse anything with commas in those methods and I should, as it is the decimal separator for the system and default locale being used by java.
    First of all, I shouldn't be expected to perform replacements on every single operation that comes with a comma and I obviously can't be expected to program my own locale checking to decide what decimal separator to use in each final system. Second, is there any way to work with numbers seamlessly, without having to know the locale of the end user?
    I'm sorry if this is all my fault for doing something completly wrong, I'm new to java and I did search around to no avail. I'm really frustrated with what seems to be a complete lack of support in java for locales other than the US one.

    Good old Cobol has the "DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA" clause... And isn't it great? :)
    Second, is there any way to work with numbers seamlessly, without having to know the locale of the end user?Consider "123.456". In some locales, this number is one hundred twenty-three thousand, four hundred fifty-six. In other locales it is one hundred twenty-three and four hundred fifty-size thousandths. How will you be able to determine which, without a locale?That's not what I've meant. Java should know the locale and behave accordingly. I don't have to know the locale of the end user since it might vary greatly. My point is that if strings are flying around with commas and if comma is the decimal separator on the end user's machine, any method aimed at parsing a numeric value out of a string should regard commas as such. I'm constantly replacing dots with commas and vice versa which could cause trouble if a different locale is used.
    And I mean that as a rant. Given my inexperience with Java, there might be good reasons for such a behaviour as baftos argued. What I'm really interested is in finding the proper way to deal with this issue.
    Have you tried the NumberFormat.parse? I will now.

    And you neglected to add "for many years."
    Some of mine have acted quirky at times, but overall, never really any trouble. And never had to replace one of mine. I just take it that's because they're so complicated; just look at some of the stuff we put up with from computers and just throw up our hands and say "oh well, it's a computer, we'll probably never know why it started doing this, or stopped doing that."
    If someone is burning a lot of discs, I'd recommend an external or one built into a Mac Pro or other desktop bay.

  • When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag?

    When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag? Additionally, the software I record experiences terrible lag times. For instance, It may take 15 seconds to display a 2-digit number I typed into a blank field. the same software has no lag issues when I'm not recording it.

    Yes and no. The CPTX file is on my PC. Our software that I'm making the demo of is on the network. but I'm not the "IT Guy" so I can't provide specifics; however, I work at a computer software company and we probably have more servers than employees. The network hardware is kept current. I've been making similar tutorials for 10 years and haven't run into this issue until switching to the subscription Captivate.

  • Why does emoticons sent from my iphone 4s does not show on other phones

    why does emoticon sent from my phone does not show on other phones

    iOS emoticons are Unicode characters that need a certain set of glyphs to be able to be displayed—think of it as a missing font not displaying correctly. If the device you send them to doesn't have the "font", it can't show it.
    That's just the way it is.

  • SMS - Sending to numbers not in your address book and inserting smiley faces

    Hi
    I'm new to the world of Blackberry and sorry if this has been posted elsewhere - I've trawled through and can't find anything similiar.
    When composing SMS messages, I can only send to those people who are in my address book as the address book automatically opens when you select compose SMS.
    Obviously there are times when you need to text to numbers not in your address book so how do you do it?
    So far the only solution I have got is to add numbers to my address book and then delete them.  Surely there must be a way you can just enter the number manually when you need to?
    Secondly is there a shortcut on the Blackberry Pearl to insert smiley faces in SMS messages without entering :-) manually?
    Thanks for your help
    Trish
    I love my Blackberry

    You right. I misread. Hitting the SYM key is only for messenger, not for SMS. I didn't anyway to insert emoticons into an SMS message

  • I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?

    I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?  I don't want to create another one if I really don't need to

    I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

  • Ichat smiley faces in snow leopard

    hey all,
    i searched but couldn't find a topic about this anywhere, so i thought it would be appropriate to make a new post.
    sometime after i installed snow leopard i noticed that smiley faces now appear in the preview bar (like before you view a message, ichat gives the persons name and a little preview of the message) which is great, but then when i look at the message i dont see the actual image version of the emoticon, just the semi colon and parentheses or whatever they sent. hopefully i made this as clear as possible. do any of you know how i could fix this? obviously its not a huge issue but its a bit irritating.
    thanks everyone

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    I am not sure I have it totally.
    Are you saying that when you get a Text Chat Invite - what you can see of the Message may include a Smiley that appears in Picture form but when you open that the Text only shows the text form of that Smiley ?
    Do you have Show Smiley's Off in the iChat View Menu > Messages sub menu ?
    I thinks this may be a quirk between the Invite settings view and the options not to Show Smileys in the Menu mentioned.

    i'm still looking for solution, but if i there is no solution so i will throw My Own iPhone 4S in the nearest Trash.
    (I had got a big problem and thanks for Nokia saved me. and if i don't care about apple products i will never send to you this, so kindly find solution or people in middle east will stop using iphone)

    No clue why you cannot make video calls over your cellular operator... have you tried contacting them?
    If you're referring to FaceTime, it is currently limited to Wi-Fi only.
    Sending files via Bluetooth is not a supported feature of the iPhone or iOS.  A simple search of the web or these forums would have made that abundantly clear.
    Threatening to throw away valuable items in these forums only serves to make you look less than intelligent.  No one here is an Apple employee, we are all users like yourself.  As such, we could care less what you do.  If you choose to be stupid, that's up to you.

  • Yellow smiley face icon

    Hey guys. I have a BB Curve 9300 and on the top of the screen, next to my notifiers, there's a yellow teardropped shape smiley icon and because the features of the icon is not as defined as the other notifier icons, I suspect it to be a virus. I don't have any unopened notifications and did not subscribe to Yahoo. I'm baffled. A little advice please. Thanks.

    No, it's not a virus. BlackBerrys have never gotten and are not yet susceptible to any virus, you're not the first. I don't understand why users jump to that first off.
    It's a third party application notification of some sort. Since I don't know what third party apps you have installed, I can't say which, but if you'll check each of your apps for a notification or message or alert, I'm sure you'll find it.
    The Yahoo Messenger icon is not tear-drop shaped, but is a round yellow smiley face .
