Missing special characters at sync * #

In addressbook, I add *31# before numbers.
I want to sync down to the phone.
They dont.
The phone just stores 31
Why? Were to fix?
I know Ive seen a solution, but I cant refind it.
PS
And my phone AND adressbook got erased today, while sync as usual.
And the warning dialog when erasing or replacing should show the entries involved.

Miss spelled..
6230i
And its supported.
Bad though...
BUT I fixed it
(Writing how, if someone happens to read this.)
In the directory:
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/P lugIns/
Are a lot of model specifik and generic folders/files controlling the synchronization.
Amongst everything else theres a flag in some files, controlling wich characters to keep in a sync.
<key>charsToKeep</key>
<string>0123456789+#*pw</string>
The * and # were missing in some files.
I choosed to use BBEdit and do multifile search, draging all the folders to BBEdit and searching for the string 123456789
Then I added *# were it was not.
Erased the phone completely.
Reset all units in iSync and then it worked.

Missing special characters

I'm using InDesign CS6 on Windows 7, and I have a problem with special characters like č, ę etc. When I open an InDesign document that contains those characters, I see little pink square symbols with a cross, instead of those characters.
The font I'm using is Helvetica Neue (Light, Roman, Bold and Italic). I've tried changing it to for example Arial, and the problem disappears. However, for the document I'm preparing it's out of question to use any other font than Helvetica Neue. And the document has absolutely tons of those special characters, so I can't (or just really wouldn't like to...) manually change only those characters into another font that doesn't produce this error.
Suggestions how to solve this problem?

The pink squares indicate that the font you're using doesn't have the
required glyph.
You will have to switch to a font that contains the glyphs you need.
For instance, is there a "pro" version of Helvetica Neue available that
has all the glyphs you need? You may need to purchase that. Many fonts
these days are avialable in a "pro" version (not just Adobe fonts) that
include an extended character set.
You could theoretically build the characters that you need using
combining accents and diacritics, but it's not recommended for a few
reasons. One, it's a hassle to set up and maintain; also, if there's
ever going to be an electronic version of the book, it won't be
conveniently searchable.

OTF to PDF missing special characters

Hello!
I am trying to convert OTF output (SmartForm, spool) to PDF and it works fine, except that special characters (in this case, Croatian) are not printed well. In original document (SmartForm print preview and output) everything looks fine.
I checked OSS and found some notes like
141343 PDF Conversion: Latin-2
588724 PDF conversion: incorrect special characters with Latin-2
but suggested solutions didn't help.
Is there something else that can cause this problem? Are there any ideas?
Thanks!
Regards,
Igor

Just trying to troubleshoot here, have you tried different printer types? Same result?
I guess you have followed the SAP notes correctly right?
If you still have the problem and you are sure you've implemented/followed the notes correctly, you better open a OSS message for it. It may be a particular problem with your Unicode environment... strange...
Sorry cannot really help much.

Special characters break Google Calendar sync

Hi!
I have multiple calendars (office through exchange, private in google, wife's in google) and noticed today that calendar items with special characters (tried with ä and ö) do not sync "up" to google, not to my calendar in google, not to my wife's calendar in google. The items with ä do sync down from google if created there first. I.e. otherwise the calendar seems to sync fine.
Can anybody confirm?

Blob service doesn't accept special characters

Hi there,
We are usign Blob REST API in our product to upload files.
The doc states about blob names:
- A blob name can contain any combination of characters, but reserved URL characters must be properly escaped.
We have problems with uploading files which names contain some special characters, even though they are escaped correctly. We get the following response:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:11:22 GMT

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"></HEAD>
<BODY><h2>Bad Request - Invalid URL</h2>
<hr>HTTP Error 400. The request URL is invalid.
</BODY></HTML>
Here's a list of ones we figured out that cause problems:
0x0081 - (encoded to UTF8 %C2%81 )
0x007F - (encoded to UTF8 %7F )
0xE000 - (encoded to UTF8 %EE%80%80 ) - with this one situation is strange. When it's alone we can upload such flie, but if it's followed bya chinese character, it depends:
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80.txt HTTP/1.1 <--- success
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80%E4%A1%90.txt HTTP/1.1 < --- fails (the filename: 䡐.txt)
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80%E7%BF%BD.txt HTTP/1.1 <--- success (the filename: 翽.txt)
I don't know how such filenames appeared on the client's system, but they a valid unicode filenames and Windows Explorer, Notepad, etc. handle them well.
Is this a bug, or documented somewhere? Why there's inconsietency when working with 0xE000 character?
Thanks,
IP

Hi Arwind,
Thanks for your answer, but the unsupported character in the blob name in your code is missed (myabe due to browser copy).
Here's the snippet for you to try:
 CloudBlob blob1 = container.GetBlobReference("\uE000\u7FFD"); // <-- Success
 CloudBlob blob2 = container.GetBlobReference("\uE000\u4850"); // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
 CloudBlob blob3 = container.GetBlobReference("\u007F"); // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
 CloudBlob blob4 = container.GetBlobReference("\u0081"); // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
 blob1.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Success
 blob2.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
 blob3.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
 blob4.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
(\u4850 - 䡐 , and \u7FFD - 翽)
Note that these all are valid characters in Windows file system and exist in filenames on our client's computer.
We are uploading to the cloud, not to the dev storage (though I dont' see any dev storage blob names limitations)
Sincerely,
IP

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?
I have a few large documents written in word 2003 format and now I work on them under word 2007.
Such large documents containing lots of special characters. I want to change them into Microsoft 3.0 equation form（It is required by the team). I find no way but using function AddOLEObject and Sendkeys through VBA. Common characters can be added
to equation by function Sendkeys, but the return value of Asc() or AscW() for "double arrow", "in" , " not greater than " such special characters or signs, to name but a few are the same ,i.e., 40 And I cannot distinguish them.
I found the link http://msdn.itags.org/word/44333/ may be of use to me, and the title is:
How to read symbols from a DOC documents! (Microsoft Word)
the original question is
Using function "InsertSymbol", I can insert a symbol into a document. But
how can I read a symbol from a document?
Using "Characters(i).range.text", I can read a char. But when meeting a
symbol, the value of "Characters(i).range.text" is always '('.How can I get the CharacterNumber of the symbol.
And the final answer is :
Hi chenfeng,
Word protects symbols from symbol fonts if you insert them from the "Insert
> Symbol" dialog.
This is done so they aren't changed when you change the font or style. But
it also results in Word reporting AscW( ) = 40 on all of them.
I've posted a macro to "unprotect" them (or to protect them again if you
want) ... just today again in

Special characters in legend for graphics (IGS ?)

hi all,
has anybody an idea why special characters like
ä, ü , ö ...
dont appear in the legend-text when viewing
graphics for bex-queries ?
in table view evertything is OK. maybe something missing in the IGS configuration ?
we're using language = DE and sap bw 3.5
tanks for all helping answers.

Hi,
We had one similar problem, where IGS was not showing the category axis text in right form. It got resolved by applying the additional fonts in IGS.
By default, IGS does not have all the fonts. So, if your font is missing, it will not show the graphics in right form.
Also, please check that you are using the latest front end components.
Here are some important notes to refer:
844012 Chart migration 3.5: Implementation
653249 Chart only generates column graphics
596825 Configuration of the GFWCHART IGS interpreter
Hope it helps.

Special Characters in a HTML region

I recently upgraded from HTMLDB 2.0 to APEX 2.2 and I'm having trouble with some special characters. 
 
I have HTML region in which I display a hidden item. The hidden item (P1_TEST) has the following value: 
 
STRING1 STRING2 STRING3 
 
The region source has a single reference to the hidden item: 
 
&P1_TEST. <- the period is there. :) 
 
In HTMLDB 2.0 the display in the HTML region would render the region as 
 
STRING1 
STRING2 
STRING3 
 
In APEX 2.2, the region is rendered as 
 
STRING1 STRING2 STRING3 
 
which is obviously not what I want. 
 
Any ideas anybody? I must be missing something simple. :) 
 
Thanks, Kent

Kent - This is explained here: Re: Computed Region TItles being Escaped in Apex 2.2 You can use an application item instead of a hidden page item as a quick solution. To continue to use a page item you can make its display type Display as Text (does not save state) and set its display condition to Never.
Although this change from 2.0 to 2.2 necessitates this type of inconvenient program modification, the benefit is that a cross-site scripting vulnerability that existed in your application will now be corrected.

Special characters in Web Services

I have developed a Web Service in Java using JBuilder 2005 and deployed it on BEA Weblogic 8.1 SP5. Weblogic is configured to use the ISO-8859-1 encoding as well as JBuilder. I am living in South Africa and we need to cater for special characters. A typical test string is "MOK�ENA��A".
I have also developed a little test class to test this Web Service. The only parameter is a String type and it returns a String type. This String type must be able to handle special characters.
I understand that the String in Java is unicode with no encoding. How do I pass a string containing special characters to this web service. I am getting the error "SOAP Fault:javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: Internal Error: unable to process your request: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? - with nested exception:
[weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? - with nested exception:
[java.io.CharConversionException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing?]]" .
Currently I am converting the string to a byte[] array and encode it with the .getBytes("ISO-8859-1") method of the String class and replace the String parameter in the Web Service with a byte[] type. This results in a longer than needed parameter that needs to go over the wire.
I want to do it the wright way using string type if possible.
What is the correct way of dealing with this special characters.
Regards

In theory you should be able to enter them via a special small pop up window. In System Preferences -> Keyboard -> and you can switch to show keyboard layout and such in the menu bar (assuming you're running SL).
Then you can open a glyphs window accessing all possible unicode characters:

Special characters in ajax request

Hi,
I can't get special characters like á é í, etc well-printed in an jsp page when processing an ajax request under struts.
The oracle database is encoded with ISO-8859-1. In my action i set the character encoding for the respose:
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setCharacterEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
// get the combo values from database...
Collection<SimpleBean> opciones = getDistribuidoras(opcionSeleccionada);
String salida = crearCadenaDeSalida(opciones);
out.print(salida);
out.flush();
out.close();
return null;Also, i have specified the encoding in the tomcat connector
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
 connectionTimeout="20000"
 redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="ISO-8859-1"/>The page encoding in the jsp
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> And finally populate the combo by JavaScript
elementos=respuesta.split("||")
reiniciarCombo(combo);
for ( var i=0; i<elementos.length; i++ ){
 valueLabelPair = elementos.split(";")
combo.options[i] = new Option(valueLabelPair[0], valueLabelPair[1]);
Is there something i've missed? i get a questión mark inside a black diamond shape instead the special char.
Thank you in advance

Special Characters in button text property?

I am trying to create two buttons; 1 up and 1 down for sorting data in a list. How can I, without using images, put arrows on the buttons? I have looked at special characters in the unicode chart and while they show up correctly (using &#8593) in the WD editor, the browser renders the text as '&#8593'.
I'm pretty new to this sort of thing so I might be missing something obvious..feel free to point this out if so!

Trying to avoid the usage of images as the list, with 2 images per 'row', can contain upwards of 2000 items. This would cause extra overhead.

ESB or BPEL file adapter and special characters

Hi,
We have a scenario where we import rows from .csv file through an ESB project into a database. We use the file adapter for this. There appears to be a problem with special characters (like é). Both in the ESB control (with variable tracking) and in the database, they appear as upside down questionmarks (¿). I've tried doing the same with a BPEL project (file adapter as client PL) and in the BPEL console, I also see strange characters instead of the expected special characters (diamond shaped characters, like ♦ to be precise).
I can't find anything about character sets of character set conversions in the documentation. What am I missing?
Regards,
Arjan

see
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/inte
grate.1013/b28994/nfb.htm#CIAEFBHHI've looked into the properties mentioned. They are set when you go through the wizard. Everything is set to UTF-8, which should provide me with all special characters I need.
BPEL does the exact same thing, so I'm starting to believe that the problem really is with the file adapter.

Arjan

PDF with special characters (é, ñ) needs to be legible cross-platform(mac & pc)

I am using Illustrator to design a PDF. Because it's in Spanish, accent marks and other special characters are needed (á, ñ).
When I export the PDF from the ai file and view it on my mac it looks fine. However, when I open it on a pc some of the special characters are completely missing.
I tried Creating Outlines with the text, although it will make it harder to update in the future and so less preferable to leaving the text editable. Creating Outlines works fine on the mac, however on the pc the L's appear thicker than they actually are.
Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Thanks!!

Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Yes. You use a correct OpenType font that has the glyphs in the place where they belong and can be embedded without limitations. Older TrueType or PostScript fonts are simply unsuitable as are fonts that cannot be emebdded and require to be installed locally. It all comes down to system language settings vs. the unified environment inside acrobat. This also requires any PDF to be created on systems with the language settings correct in the first place, i.e. creating Spanish text with a Japanese version of AI would be pretty desastrous due to how foreign language fonts are accessed... check these things and then try again. If possible, enforce embedding of the full font in the PDF settings, not just a subset and choose a suitable font.

Create / Alter user doesn't allow special characters in password

When i try to change the password from say : vos1s05 to : vos1s05! i get the error message (missing or invalid option), i have used several special characters and all give the same error, is there a way to circumvent this, or will this be enabled in a new release ??

A password is classified as an oracle identifier and must conform to the rules for indentifiers. To include special characters you need to enclose it in double quotes e.g. "vos1s05!"
