Insert Greek Math Symbol

Created JSP BC4J application using JDeveloper 3.2.3. One of the
functions is to interpret the tilde and overcaret keyboard
characters as Greek Math Symbols when using the insert and edit
JSP pages, then saving them to the 8i database.
The problem I am having is the interpretation. If anyone can
point me in the right direction and/or provide a sample
methodology -- I would be most appreciative.
Thanks..

If this is the wrong forum, could someone direct me to the right forum? thanks.

How to insert a math symbol in a pages document

I have a nonstandard math symbol to insert inot a pages document. Please explain how to do it.

If it is really non-standard, like not in Unicode, then you would have to use an image. For things in Unicode, try an app like Cymbol or search the app store for "equation".

Insert Greek Pi Symbol (or any character) with keyboard

Among other non-standard characters, I especially need to insert the Greek Pi symbol into many CS5.5 documents, especially Illustrator.
I want to use the keyboard inserting these characters, rather than needing to use the several steps involved with using the Glyphs Pallet and/or cut & paste each time the character is repeated.
I cannot find a documentation explaining how to insert this Greek Pi character, and other non-standard characters.
I'm absolutely sure the many font-sets I'm using include the symbol(s) I want, but ALT+0960 does not work (produces └). I've looked for other keystrokes, and tried zillions, but I cannot nail-down how to insert this Greek Pi symbol into CS5 documents.
I'm hoping the Adobe community can point to clear documentation explaining how to understand inserting this Greek Pi symbol, and other non-standard characters using the keyboard.

Not all fonts have pi included as a symbol; so first you must know or inspect a font to find it and a character viewer program will show you if it is there and the keyboard shortcut...may be different in different fonts
Windows includes a character viewer/map program....there are many free ones; search via google...like Babel map
And don't forget about the glyphs panel in Illy.

Greek/math symbols do not display in Lion though working correctly in Snow Leopard.

I am attempting to edit/use powerpoint presentations created in Office 2011 on Snow Leopard. Though my math and Greek symbols display perfectly correctly on my Snow Leopard laptop, they do not display on my Lion desktop. Instead, they are replaced with a "W in a box" symbol. I have already been in the FontBook to resolve fonts as suggested on other discussions and this has had no effect. Right now my only solution appears to be to painstakingly replace every single symbol by hand using the "insert symbol" menu, whereas previously I could for example type "D" and then switch the font to "Symbol" to obtain a delta character. It appears to be a font issue with Lion: how do I get the proper symbol font back?
I appreciate any advice!

It is really a bad idea to use the old symbol font that lets you type D to get a greek letter. Instead you should be using Unicode fonts where you input math and greek via the Character Palette or a dedicated Greek keyboard layout.
But I gather that you have to deal with files that were created with the old stuff, and it sounds like your Lion machine is missing the old kind of font. Presumably you have one on your Snow Leopard machine, so you just have to move a copy to the Lion system.

Using a variable for Lesson Title: How do I insert an alt symbol (TM)?

HI All,
I am using a project variable to diplay the title in small sub-titles on each page of a Cap4 module. But....I need to insert a trademark symbol after one of the names in the title. Does anyone know how I can insert a symbol when defining a variable?
Thanks in advance!

Hello
I just tried this, and seems to work:
created a Text Caption, with the Symbol button you can insert the Trademark symbol
copied the text to the clipboard
created a user variable v_title
in the value of the variable pasted the copied text
Here is a screenshot: first text caption has the variable, second was the original TC (you do not really to have it on a slide of course)

Issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505

Hi All,
We are currently facing an issue of inserting greek characters into Oracle database using ICAN505.
We receive a file containing greek characters.The values from the file should be inserted into the database.We are reading the file using file OTD with default encoding.
The file can contain english characters too other than greek characters.
The database NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
When I insert using an insert statement directly ,the values get inserted properly into the DB table.
Inserting the same values using code results in improper characters getting inserted into the table in the database.
Please help....
Thanks in advance !!

Globalization forum?

It works for SQL Developer, which does not depend on NLS_LANG, so I suspect a problem with your NLS settings.

How do I insert Greek characters from the character viewer in Lion?

In Lion, the Character Viewer shows many more options for different characters than SL. Of course, it displays Latin, but, as I scientist I often need to insert Greek characters, but I cannot find Greek characters in the Character Viewer. I don't otherwise need to select Greek as a language. Inserting Greek characters from some applications like MS Word still works.
And ... while I'm here ... what happened to the "insert" button? -j

Click the gear icon to edit your list:
Select Customize List:
and check "Greek"

FrameMaker 11 not displaying some math symbols-how to correct or work around?

Hello,
I created a few equations for a manual, and everything displayed correctly. After I was upgraded to a new computer (same OS - Win 7), all the minus signs in the equations I made aren't displaying—all I get are (?)s.
I've tried creating a new equation, but the minus symbol still isn't displaying. Strange to me that it's only the minus symbol not displaying; all other operators display correctly.
I'm wondering if this is a symbol font issue, or a unicode issue, but after searching the forums all morning (and all afternoon yesterday) I haven't found any information on correcting the issue or working around it.
*Update*
I had a coworker open the file in question, and the minus symbols all displayed correctly. He is running Frame 11 on XP.
-Ben

The font used for the math symbols is specified in the maker.ini with the MathFamily=Symbol entry in the [Fonts] section.
I've tried playing around with changing this in FM11 and FM12, but I always get the minus sign to appear in both versions. [There is a minor bug in FM12 no longer supporting the backslash sequences, so I was checking if other things were pooched.]
The math characters, on the other hand, are defined in the fminit\mathchar.cfg file, e.g.
< alpha      61 Symbol Regular>
< beta      62 Symbol Regular>
< plus      2b Times Regular>
< equal      3d Times Regular>
< minus      d0 Times Regular>
etc.
Notice that there is a mix of Font Families specified in the cfg file. It could be that if Times is missing and FM doesn't properly substitute proprly, one may get the unknown character.
Try changing the font definitions in the mathchar.cfg file (and make a back-up so that it can be restored if this gets messed up).

How to use math symbols in a right to left text properly?

Hey there
When I write a simple mathematical equation or a number(which has sign) in the middle of a right to left text in a text box(I simply set keyboard language to EN for typing expressions & numbers) it's like mathematical symbols are somehow not considered math symbols and that's weird since in word it's not that way, take the following sentence for example that means result of the 0-127 expression is -127:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- است.
In word I can type it just fine(for typing expressions and numbers I set keyboard language to EN) but when I type it the same way in adobe acrobat I get this:
حاصل عبارت 0-127 برابر -127 است.
copy & paste from word also doesn't do any help, so If I want to get it right I should type math expressions from right to left meaning as instance to type 0-127 I should first type 127 then - and finally 0 also should type digits of a number before typing its sign as example for typing -127 I should first type 127 then - ,now I wonder is it the way acrobat works or I'm doing something wrong.
By the way OMG o_O even when I did copy & paste my messasge from word to the text box of forum for posting, it ended up treating math parts in upper right to left paragraph the same way as acrobat I just had to write them from right to left!
Anyone has any idea?
Message was edited by: Pooria

In a word document I wrote:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- اسـت
Then tried printing it using "Adobe PDF" printer, in output pdf that sentence was written in right order and interestingly it was broken into three text boxes thanks for reply.

How to use math symbols in Pages

How can I find math symbols in Pages?
Do I need additional Software or is there a possibility as in Microsoft Word?

You can find some math symbols in Pages if you go to Special Characters. Open Pages, go to Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Special Characters, and choose math symbols in the sidebar, so you will be able to add a symbol double-clicking the symbol.
However, it may not include all symbols. In this case, you will have to use other third-party applications

Inserting a Registered Symbol

Im trying to insert a registered symbol,Â®,into the database. It's showing up as a question mark. Does anyone know how to handle this?

I'm pretty sure that symbol is not part of the US7ASCII character set. If that's the case, you cannot store the character in your database.

Preview not showing math Symbols in PDF files

I just upgraded to 10.6.1 and now preview is not showing math symbols like PI and the symbol for integrate, for example. Adobe Reader however displays the same files correctly. Now before anyone says anything about why am I using preview to view a PDF if I have adobe reader i downloaded Adobe reader to see if it was having the same issue. Just as a note the symbols show up in pages, stickies, etc. but not in Preview. If you copy the text in containing the symbol and paste into any of the aforementioned programs it is correctly displayed. I know it is not the font book, also i know it is not the files as other macs running 10.5 have no issues, i have the same programs they do the only difference is i am running 10.6. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? I tried a new user and the same errors occur. No error messages or an other acknowledgment by the OS of error is presented.

I realize that preview has had some changes my main concern is whether or not this is an issue with my installation or if it is an issue with everyone running preview. I realize this is hard to know for sure but if you are having issues with preview displaying characters please let me know. Thanks for the file name for the plist i was not sure if there were other files that effected preview that were not so obvious.

Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly

Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly and special characters not display correctly
Example: triangle symbol display "D" , but other browser is displaying fine.
Please give me a solution.
Thanks & Regards
Ajay Kumar

This page uses the Symbol font to display the triangles.
<pre><nowiki>font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black</nowiki></pre>
It works for me on Linux, but probably not on Windows.<br />
Websites shouldn't be using this Symbol font, but use the Unicode replacements instead: Δ (&#916; &Delta;).
