Letter with accent transformed into chinese ideograms

When I digit a letter with an accent (such as è, ò, à, which are quite common in the Italian vocabulary) into an email, the addressee receive the email with those characters transformed into chinese ideograms.
Is there any solution?

hello,
for question 1) you didn't match Bifocals' expectations. If it had been english for example, it would have been a quite serious problem to have strange characters
for question 2), well I guess Bifocals has no clue on what that email provider is (neither do I anyway).
now, for my part : I think there is a discrepancy between the character encoding you are using and the one that is used by your recipient. When you send an email to yourself with some è à or ò : do you receive them correctly ?
when people send you those characters, do you see them correctly ?

French accents turn into Chinese characters

I'm using Chrome browser on ML, which is all good, but when I read French documents online, sometimes the accents get replaced by Chinese characters. How do I avoid that? I have set Chinese followed by French and last English as my languages of preferences, which I intend to keep. Also, the same thing happens in Safari as well.

Awesome, thanks!
It's on automatic (Chrome), but apparently it's not capable of determining which coding it was. Problem solved, but fwiw (same on Safari, but I can't see any warnings):

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that. Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese. You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless. It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts: option + n, then o gives you õ.
The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard. But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
You may prefer to stay with the US layout. On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears. Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Hi,
If you are creating a warehouse and product_key is ur PK then it should come only once and so u might have to think ur logic in getting the data. To get over the isue u can disable the constraint and load with out the cosntraint, but i would have u look at the logic and make sure u have only 1 product_key in the table.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Chinese ideogram in my mail !

I do not notice this before 10.4, but now with 10.4 and 10.5 (a small mac equipped company), we got some troubles with our emails.
Some customers complain, our emails are full of gremlins characters : some got sort of chinese ideogram replacing accent character (we're french so we used characters like é, è, ê, ç, ô and so on...
For the vast majority of our contacts it works fine but some got those characters replaced.
I made some tests and i found that converting our mail to "raw text" resolve this problem, but our mail look so bad and i can't ask my co-corkers to use only raw text or convert just before sending there mail : we're using mac for rich graphics not old'70 text style...
My investigation point that the problem appears with some Outlook/Windows configuration and also with some webmail services.
But i found no solution at that time (except the bad raw text conversion).

It's likely that the problem is that the recipients are using a font which does not include the characters with diacriticals. If you are specifying the font in the message, and you choose one which a recipient doesn't happen to have, then his computer will substitute a font and may possibly not be able to reproduce these characters. As with web pages, you need to stick to the handful of common fonts such as Helvetica, Arial, TImes and so on which everyone has.

How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file? My old printer (psc 2110) asked after each scan if I wanted to scan another page. At the end I had one pdf file with multiple pages.
This new one creates one file for each page and I cannot find a way to create one pdf file with multiple pages.

How to load CSV with accented characters?

Hi,
I have a database instance with NLS_CHARACTERSET = 'AL32UTF'. I upload a csv file with APEX into WW_FLOW_FILES table and then parse it with dbms_lob.instr. The problem that I am facing is that if I save the CSV file in UTF8, then this works fine, if I save it in any other encoding then it's displaying 'funny' characters when I try to parse it and display the parsing result and the source data contains some accented characters, like, á, é, ő etc,
I am not sure if this is an APEX issue or I rather be turning to NLS forum. TIA.

Issue with xslt transform

I'm having a problem with xslt transformations.
I'm sending a DOMDocument to be transformed into a varchar2. The transformation was into html and I was then printing the returning varchar2 to a web page, along the lines of...
htp.prn(Xslt.transform(domdoc, xslt.stylesheet( l_stylesheet_bfile)));
I subsequently broke the varchar2 32k limit so I started playing with transforming into a dom instead of a varchar, then writing the dom to a clob and the printing the clob to the web page in 32k chunks.
I noticed this produced different results than the first method. Now I'm assuming that this is not because xslt is doing the transformations differently but because it's trying to put my html into a well-formed DOMdocument. I have noticed, though, that things like & #160; seemed to have disappeared.
Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong, and also any reason why the transform functionality doesn't have an output option of CLOB?
Thanks

Problems with sending IDocs into R/3 using BPM

Hi Vishnu,
as I have read the forum, you have experience with sending IDocs into R/3 from XI using the BPM.
Did you have problem, that this sending takes very long time?
My BPM splits the xml, sends IDoc into R/3 immediately, but the processing of the 2nd IDoc takes 6-10 minutes!
Do you have any idea, what could be wrong?
Thanx 4 answer, Peter

Vishnu, I was discussing this problem in another thread, but no helpful answer was sent, and I have read, that you have experience, so - just for explanation
Well,
yes, this situation is really strange.. New facts are:
when I send into XI XML, which is splitted in the BPM only into 1 IDoc, it is processed immediately. When I send there XML for 2 IDocs, the first is processed immediately, the 2nd starts immediately, but end of process is after 6-10 minutes, it depends... Then I tried to send there XML for 10 IDocs - and now attention please! 5 of them have been processed almost immediately, 5 of them after 8 minutes... The last test was with 16 items - 6 processed immediately, 10 after 10 minutes... And all these 10 minutes was my 4 processor XI box unavailable, with over 60% load... But finally the IDocs arrive!!
Any explanation???
This is really unbelievable situation!
Port name is SAPDEV, rfc destination DEVCLNT100
Actually, when I was creating the scenarion using the wizard and trying to add my communication channel(IDoc type) to receiver agreement, I got error - communication channel is not configured correctly, use another one. But somewhere I read, that I should create the receiver agreement manually. So I did.
To my BPM:
-receive MSG
-switch (but I'm testing only one branch now) - and the MSG message is always passed here, it's ok
-then I have transformation to MultiMSG (message with multiple DATA for multiple IDOCS)
-then comes the split mapping Multi2SingleMSG
-then ForEach Block with sending the Single MSG
this is the end of the BPM, and outside the BPM comes the mapping Single2IdocMSG and sending the IDoc into R/3
before I had the Single2Idoc mapping in the BPM, but thought, that this could be the bottleneck, so moved the mapping after the BPM... It didn't help...
So, what do you say?

Unicode characters with accents won't display in Java Swing applications

I'm using FreeMind (a Java Swing application) and I need to enter classical Greek characters with accent marks. When I type an accented Greek character, FreeMind displays the unaccented character. However, I can type the accented character in MS Word, then copy and paste into FreeMind, the accented character appears.
One of the FreeMind developers indicated this was a Java Swing issue, not FreeMind, and suggested I test with another Swing application. So, I installed jEdit and got exactly the same results. I can paste an accented character into jEdit, but I cannot type it in directly.
I'm using Windows Vista with Java 6 Update 22 (build 1.6.0_22-b04). I also tested on a XP Pro box with Java 1.6.0_18-b07 and got the same result.
One other note: A couple days ago, I was able to type accented Greek characters into FreeMind. But it only worked for a couple days and then the behavior reverted to unaccented characters. It is possible, but I don't recall specifically, that I updated Java during the time and that may indicate a bug in one version of Java but not another.
Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Darin

Walter,
The link you provided does not appear to describe the Greek Polytonic keyboard. (The page also describes using the "Option" key as the dead key. There is no "Option" key on my keyboard. I'm using a Sony VGN-NS140E purchased in Chicago, i.e. standard physical US keyboard.)
Please see http://darindavis.net/languages/keyboard_Greek.pdf for a detailed description of how to use the Greek (Polytonic) keyboard in Windows to produce a complete set of accented classical Greek characters. This method works in MS Word and Notepad. I enabled the Greek (Polytonic) keyboard with:
Windows (Vista) Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Change Keyboards > General > Add > Greek (Greece) > Greek Polytonic
A test that will demonstrate whether you can replicate the error is to do the following in both MS Word (or Notepad) and jEdit (or FreeMind):
1. Enable the Greek Polytonic keyboard
2. Type "\" then "e" which should produce an epsilon with smooth breathing and grave accent (ἒ)
When I do this in MS Word or Notepad, I see the epsilon with smooth breathing and grave accent. When I do this in jEdit and FreeMind, I only see an epsilon.
I recorded a screencast to illustrate the problem: http://www.screencast.com/t/TRKkKQrCgbN
Actually, this problem is transient. Sometimes FreeMind or jEdit will display accented characters, other times it won't. Ironically, the first time I recorded the above referenced screencast, a few characters in jEdit did appear with accents. A couple minutes later, I re-recorded the screencast and as you can see jEdit did not display the accents. Between the two recordings I literally did nothing other than stop the Jing recording and start a new one. There is another variable at play here and I can't determine what it is. The most likely source seems to be Java since MS Word and Notepad consistently display accent characters.
Thanks,
Darin

How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

THanks for your reply.
Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
converts it into docx, my choice. I can read it there and when I try to
copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
to see it. I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing. What
I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit. People send me
things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
doesnt allow me to copy the text. If it is in image form, I cannot work on
it. It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program. Its just double the work and
ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
Sorry if I am a bit dumb with informatics. But I simply could not find
any way whatever to copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
format that would enable me to edit it.
Kindest regards,
Margery

ITunes 5/iPod: Error alphabetizing artists with accents

It appears that after my recent upgrade to iTunes 5 that any artists with accents in the artist name that are being duplicated 2-5 times in my artists list on my iPod.
For instance a band called "Dälek" would be listed multiple times since the iPod or iTunes is unable to identify where this artist should be placed alphabetically. This in turn caused any subsequent artists to duplicate (within the letter range) in the artist list on my iPod. This was never a problem in any other version of iTunes.
I haven't been able to identify that the accent is indeed the error, but I have since deleted the questionable artist and the problem was fixed. Also, the artist appears only once in iTunes and when you view the contents of the iPod in iTunes.
If anyone else can test this and confirm this to be the case I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Very rarely I get the program running, but as soon as I plug in the iPod the program crashes.
hi Thomas!
okay ... doing some preliminary checking up on your situation at this point, because there are certain rare registry problems that "mimic" some of the standard errors.
what error message are you getting under these circumstances? "itunes has encountered an error ..." by any chance?
love, b
