Itunes can't read korean characters since switching to google chrome

I switched to google chrome and for some reason every song with Korean hangul characters on my itunes turns into square boxes. I have songs with Japanese kanji on my itunes but I see them perfectly, it's only Korean characters.
This happened before but I switched back to firefox (which solved the problem). I really don't wanna go back to firefox though...is there any way to fix this?

Eduardo Kim hello,
If you select the iTunes Icon in your applications folder and get info you will see the Languages tab check and see what is available... to get the correct Korean version as there is more than one start system preferences and choose international > languages... use the help files to find what you need to know by clicking on the Question mark...
Take care Eduardo ... TP

Itunes won't display Asian Characters (Korean, Japanese, and Chinese)

For some reason, with the most recent update to iTunes, my library is no longer properly displaying Korean characters. It is instead replacing them with boxes. It was and has worked fine for the longest time and I haven't made any other changes that would affect the language packs with my windows 7 64bit. However, when I play a song in iTunes and I have MSN Messenger running, the messenger will correctly display the current song I'm listening. I'm just hoping that if I sync my iPhone with my library, these characters will not appear as squares there as well. I've seen suggestions for switching my operating system language setting to Korean, but as I'm not completely fluent I'd hate to get stuck not knowing how to navigate my way around because I can't read/understand something. Can someone please find a solution for this.

I didn't have the problem of showing boxes, but I had a similar problem of the korean characters showing in symbols. To fix, I (1) right clicked on the song. (2) Chose Convert ID3 Tags. (3) Checked "Reverse Unicode" Box, then hit "OK". You can highlight as many songs as you want at once and still perform the same thing, to save you time.
Hope this helps you.

Displaying Korean Characters on my jsp

I would like to display korean characters in my jsp....the characters that i want to display are read from an xml file using the sax parser... how will i do this?

Case 1 - In a JSP only.
In a JSP you need to set the following and it will display your respective charset. Substitute xxx for your required character set.
<%response.setContentType="charset=xxx"%>.
Case 2 - In an XML file and JSP
If you have an XML file, be sure to define the encoding. Be sure to change the encoding to your Korean charset.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
You will the need to write an XSL which you can apply to your XML file using Xalan and output the resulting HTML in a JSP. I assume your user-agent will be a web browser, although you can use WML, cHTML and VoXML or even another XML file.

How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
B) Are there another required step
s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
And recite the mantra
ActiveX is good
ActiveX is holy
All Hail Bill
Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

Can't see korean characters in flash 10

I have my language/local set to Korean; also, I.E 8 has encodings for utf-8 set. (Same problem when viewed in Firefox vs 2.0.0.12) It is an English version of Windows XP, SP2 (all the latest patches installed - excluding SP3) This problem exists with a number of web sites; the attached file shows an example: the flash display (located line +5 from the top) does not display korean characters in the right box, yet, the left box is fine, note, this problem is illustrated elsewhere on this page. the URL is www.mnet.com Although I am illustrating this problem with a 'community' web site, I have the same problem on my employer's web site; and therefore, I would apprecate valuable responses as to how to address this problem. thanks. B.

I have found the answer. It turns out that the option on the Advanced tag under regional options correct this problem; also corrects a similar problem I had with alpine emailer not displaying Korean. thanks to all who may have read and thought about this problem.

Itunes can not show chinese characters.

My Itunes can not show chinese characters, they are all blocks, while I can re-type in the chinese name of the song in Itunes, then it works.
The same as Japanese, some time it can show Jap, while sometime can not. How can I solve this problem. My computer is Mac system

Do you have such problem only with Chinese characters?

How do I get the keyboard viewer to display Korean characters

I am trying to set up my Mac so that I can type in Korean. I followed the instructions here: http://www.foolsworkshop.com/120b/koreanmac.html.
After adding all the Hangul input methods under the International control panel, I have the flag language menu on the menu bar that lets me switch between typing in English and Korean.
So far so good, but now I'd like to see a layout of where the Hangul characters are on the keyboard, so that I don't have to guess. The above link says that I can see this by selecting Show Keyboard Window from the language menu. If I select this, however, it brings up a picture of a keyboard with Roman characters on the keys. How do I get it to display a picture of a keyboard with Korean characters?

Bleech. That's exactly the kind of unpolished UI sloppiness that Apple makes such a big deal about not having. I think the dorky-but-lovable PC guy from the TV ads gets a pass to chew out the insufferably smug Mac hipster guy in Korean.
Seriously, though, I tried that and it works. Thanks for the tip.

PO Document (View Document) does not display Korean Characters

Hi,
We have a situation here. In Production, the asian characters are not being displayed in PO Document
Navigation: Purchase Orders - > Inquire -> View Document
Surprisingly, a cloned environment of PROD displays the asian characters fine. Has anyone come across a similar issue?
This uses the XML Publisher template stylesheets. Both PROD and QA have the same style sheets. The template is setup with language as Korean.
It would be great if anyone can please guide me troubleshoot this issue and identify the cause.

Thanks for your response.
I did check the fonts under $OA_JRE_TOP/jre/lib/fonts and $AF_JRE_TOP/jre/lib/fonts folders in both QA and PROD environments.They are identical and albany fonts do not exist under them. But Korean characters are visible in PDFs generated under QA but not in PROD.
Is there a profile option set to guide XMLP to a folder for fonts? Please let me know.
Also, the JDK upgrade happened a couple of weeks before and PROD is pointing to JDK 1.5 but QA is still pointing to JDK 1.4 (cloned from a copy week earlier from PROD upgrade).

Reports Builder - problem displaying Korean characters

Client-server setup (database 10G unicode AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, client Windows XP AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and users have no trouble viewing characters in the application using forms.
But running the reports through Reports Builder creates inverted question marks instead of Korean characters. The reports are not displayed on the screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.
My question:
1. Is Reports Builder Unicode compliant?
2. If yes - where and how do we set up the correct NLS_LANG?
3. If not - what is the solution?
Thanks, Veronika

But running the reports through Reports Builder
creates inverted question marks instead of Korean
characters. The reports are not displayed on the
screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.Is the Windows where you run Reports Builder Korean? What is the Windows Code page (ACP)?
What version of Reports Builder / Developer Suite?
You are not running the same report through a Reports server?
In a general sense, for oci apps, there's a conversion from database character set to client character set when retrieving the data (to match client environment/locale), and likewise a conversion to the database character set when storing character data.
With Korean (Hangul) characters in the db, these characters should be converted to replacement character such as inverted question mark (¿) when retrieved to a client with character set Latin-1 (iso 8859-1) - since its repertoire includes no Korean characters.
So, if the client side os is code page 949, you could try indicating a client character set of KO16MSWIN949. (You could try also by "lying" if the code page is different, but then you need to take care to set NLS_LANG as needed as it might affect other apps.)
Also, read this chapter of the Globalization Support Guide:

How can I type Korean characters with Firefox 4?

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and now I have difficulty typing Korean characters. When I switch my keyboard to Korean and start typing, the characters go to a bar on the bottom of the browser. It is not even a bar for inserting text. There is no insert button and it only allows me to type one syllable block.
I found a temporary, but still frustrating, fix by going View -> Character Encoding -> Customize List and adding one of the Korean character encodings. When I ran out of encodings, it worked simply to click OK, and I would able to type in Korean. But now I can only type in Korean for a few syllables or on one tab before the system reverts to disallowing me to type Korean characters.
Is there something I can do to permanently fix this, or should I resign myself to waiting for an update or downgrading to Firefox 3? I like Firefox 4 with the exception of this Korean character issue.

That is up to Delicious or whoever created their Firefox extension to fix, not something for Mozilla to fix.
See this article which explains how to fix compatibility in the Delicious extension to get it to work in Firefox 4.0.x versions. <br />

ITunes does not display Cyrillic characters correctly in Windows 7 Starter

I try to copy my songs from iTunes (9.0 running Mac OS X 10.6 Russian interface language) with tags containing Cyrillic characters (song name, artist, etc.) into iTunes 9.1 (russian interface) on netbook running Windows 7 Starter English. I do it via Home sharing option in iTunes.
Some songs with Russian titles displayed OK, but some of them display wrong characters (see attached screenshot).

Can't see Korean characters properly in text messages after latest update

Pretty simple, Korean characters used to work on my Q10 (being able to see them), but now after the latest update, they show up as half Chinese characters and completely garbled and unreadable.
This has basically made my Q10 useless to me, and I've moved back to my Galaxy S3. While I love my Q10 and BlackBerry, all of the bugs I've encountered has sort of made me... well, not happy.
Is there any chance this particular issue is going to get fixed?
Thanks.

Just as additional information: moving my SIM card to a different phone and recieving the exact same text works on other phones, so it's definitely the Q10 and latest update (as I never had an issue previously with it).

Can't display Chinese Characters in JTree

The default encoding has beed set to GB2312 by system. (I use eWin98&Richwin system)
I can display Chinese in JEditorPane, can output Chinese using System.out.println, can read Chinese from files. BUT, I can not display Chinese in JTree, they all appear as squares.
Is there any one can help me to solve this urgent problem? Thank you very much.

You probably did that, but just in case you didn't i'd use
.setFont(...);

ITunes will only display special characters/foreign languages when it is started while not connected to the internet

This problem started right after upgrading to iTunes 10.5.
I opened iTunes and all of the songs with special characters, japanese text, etc. showed up as boxes (the fallback unicode rectangle or whatever the proper name is). The result is that I have a ton of songs that just look like this - [][][][][][][][]
The only thing I have found to fix it is if I disconnect the internet, restart the computer, open itunes and then I can reconnect the internet. When I open itunes while not online, the song titles all go back to normal.
I can't figure out why being online makes any difference. Yes, I have the correct language packs installed and the characters display correctly in all programs besides itunes.
Thanks for any help. Let me know if there is any additional info you need.

I don't have the bit-rot or router issue, but I'm frequently experiencing dropped connections with my ISP (a satellite service). Disabling / reabling the Ethernet port, or closing my laptop lid for a few seconds, usually fixes the problem, abiet temporarily.
I've noticed during these dropped connections that over 90% of the time, the ethernet port continues to show as active and with a valid IP. The problem seems to have something to do with OS X requesting a new IP when it already has one. The longer I'm online, the more frequently this happens.
I've installed Apples Broadband Tuner, and am going through my providers Web proxy.
However, when I VPN into work with the companies PC laptop, the connection seldom drops and is likely due to VPN server overload, which leads me to believe this is an OS X thing.
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I removed my router because, even though the setting were correct and both laptops where getting an IP, the MAC dropped more frequently, and I had a much harder time getting a VPN connection on the PC.
