Non English Characters do not appear as is while downloading in CSV

Hi All,
My report output has some non english characters. Downloading the output in CSV the non english characters dont show as is, rather appear as *???*
I am using classic Report Template.
How to overcome this?
Should I create a custom Report Template?
If Yes, then how to incorporate the custom template
Thanks,
Sombit

Hi,
You can create a custom template using BI Publisher + RTF Template.
There you can set the font, graphs, ...
But you need commercial version of Oracle BI.

  • Formatting non-English Characters in Database Extracts

    Hi
    I am trying to create data flat file with Oracle SQL extracts. The data file is position based i.e. Position 1-30 for First Name, 31-50 for Last name, etc. I encountered problems when the data fields contain non-English characters. The position shift right by 1 with every non-English characters. For example, if there is one Spanish char in First Name, Last Name will start from 32, instead of 31. If there are two Spanish chars, Last Name will start from 33 (shift 2). Is there any way, in a database session, to restrict the formats of these text fields such that non-English characters will not affect the data field position in the flat files?
    Thanks in advance
    Jason

    An alternative might be to tab or comma delimit your data.

  • Parsing Non English characters from OPEN DATASET

    Hi Team,
    I'm try to download the .txt file using the OPEN DATASET in the windows environment from application server, system language is set up for English.
    The problem is, in the .txt file some times I will be getting the non-English characters (Spanish). When I try to download the data into SAP it's not downloading properly eg: ñ when it downloaded into sap it took something like A+_.
    My goal is I need to download the Spanish characters properly into sap.
    Please advice how to solve this problem.
    Thanks,
    Selvaraj

    Hi Selvaraj!
    I haven't checked the situation for 4.5B, nor can I predict exact behavior, but you can give following statement a try:
    SET LOCALE LANGUAGE lg.
    This should even change content of sy-lange for whole role area (internal session), so change the value back afterwards.

  • Prevent Non-English Characters on JSP forms

    I was hoping to get any programming tips/ideas to prevent users from entering non-english text on web-forms.
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I have a jsp page something like:
    <tr>
    <td colspan=2> </td>
    <td colspan=2>
    <textarea name="title" cols="<%=cols%>" rows="3" wrap><%= form.getTitle()%></textarea>
    </td>
    </tr>
    When the user submits the page, I do the form validation in the java formhandler. I was hoping that I could somehow compare the ascii codes of the character to ensure user is entering only english characters.
    The following is the code, I have written in java the form-handler
    for (int i =0 ; i < title.length() ; i++) {
         char c = title.charAt(i);
         System.out.println("c = " + c + ", ascii = " +(int)'c');
         if (int(c) > 127) {
              setErrorMessage(ID.QUESTION.TITLE, "Non-English characters are not allowed. Please enter the required information only in Enlgish.");     
    But for some reason which I am not able to debug, is that no matter what character I enter english or non-english its ascii equivalent i.e. the int(c) value getting printed out is always 99. Moreover even if I enter a non-english character, in the system.out it is printing its english equivalent...if that makes any sense...
    I hope I was able to explain my problem...Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

    Hello guys,
    I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
    "ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office). 
    The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
    tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
    original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.   
    Thank you very much for any help.
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
    character.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
    for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
      Hex   Dec
    ř 159   345
    ů 016F  367
    So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
    ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
    ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
    You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
    Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
    Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)

  • Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue

    My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
    I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
    I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
    This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
    When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
    And of course better; has someone solved this?

    I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?

  • Non english characters in DN cannot be retrieved

    We are using Netscape directory server 4, protocal V3. We have a problem related to non-english characters appearing in RDN.
    We publish to Ldap entries using the values from database. For example, we have pubulished an entry to Ldap, based on DB values, the entry should have a DN like: ou=Liege BELGIUM ... LGG1a, <other components of DN>. However, when we call netscape search API (search against uid attribute which does not have non-english characters), the search return the entry, but when further call getDN() method on the returned Ldap Entry, it only returns Li, instead of the complete DN value.
    It seems the entry is corrupted in Ldap. I wanted to delete the corrupted entry and re create new one to test. I tried many ways, but none of them worked, I think it is because DN is corrupted, there is no key value to identify the Ldap entry for any operation(modify, delete).
    You help and insights are much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Han Shen

    LDAP uses the UTF8 encoding. You must store data in the directory using the UTF8 encoding. This includes DN values. This also means that if you want to be able to view the values in your native character set and font, you must use an application that can convert the UTF8 LDAP data back to the native character encoding. The directory console by default should work for LATIN-1 (ISO 8859) languages if the LOCALE is set correctly.

  • I have non English characters showing up.

    This morning I wanted to make a change in my Security &amp; Privacy settings and when prompted to authenticate the dialogue box contained non-English characters.  Even the OK button appeared to be in Chinese are the like.
    Any ideas welcome.  OS X 10.8.1

    I'ts not all of the text though.  It's just the authentication popup that asks you for your password when you want to unlock the padlock to make changes. It comes up with "System Preferences" then two lines of non-english characters followed by "Type your password to allow this".  Then of course you have the Name and Password text fields.  The Cancel button is normal and the what would normally be the OK button, is in non-english text.
    Everything else system-wide is fine.
    It's got me...

  • URLEneQuery encoding is failing for some non english characters

    While creating a URLEneQuery we are getting error com.endeca.navigation.InternalException: No support for 8-bit urls.
    This error happens when the query string has some non english characters. (eg: Á).

    UrlENEQuery is designed around processing URL data, and URLs are not permitted non-ASCII characters in their production. To represent non-ASCII characters they must be %-encoded in URLs according to their byte(s) representation in a particular character-encoding, and you should prefer UTF-8 for URLs. So your LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE (U+00C1) should appear as %C3%81 in your URL, then UrlENEQuery should be able to process that character.

  • My Firefox cannot display non-English characters, even though I have tried every language encoding I have!

    I am a big fan of Japanese songs and websites, so I was very disappointed when I saw that Firefox could not handle any non-English characters. I have tried every encoding I can, but none work and I just see boxes with numbers and letters inside. I have only just got this older laptop for my birthday - my old laptop which ran Windows Vista and had Firefox 4 had no trouble at all. Please help me!

    hello muoshui, please enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''network.http.accept-encoding''' - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
    if this does not resolve the issue already, please also go through the steps offered at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].

  • Non-English characters

    Hello, I have read several times that since Java uses Unicode, it solves the problems of non-English characters automatically or something like that.
    But my app is not working as expected. Would someone help please?
    I have a client/server combo written in Java. The server can send messages in English or Japanese. The Japanese messages are hard-coded as String literals in the server source code. On the client side, they are displayed on a JEditorPane. But the Japanese characters are all garbled. The OS on the server side and client side are, of course, different.
    My supposition, which is obviously wrong as it is not working, is that since both ends of communication are Java app, I need not worry about any encoding conversions for String literals.
    Suggest me what is wrong here?

    How is the required encoding/decoding supposed to be done?
    When I didn't worry about non-English characters, I did the following, which WORKED.
    // SENDER side
    Socket socket ;
    PrintWriter     out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
    String outMessage = "my message";
    out.println(outMessage);//RECEIVER
    Socket socket ;
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
    String inMessage =  in.readLine();When non-English characters are involved, I did the following, which DID NOT WORK. Please someone correct me.
    // SENDER side
    Socket socket ;
    PrintWriter     out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
    String outMessage = "my message";
    String utfString = new String(outMessage.getBytes(),"UTF-8");
    out.println(utfString);//RECEIVER
    Socket socket ;
    InputStreamReader ins = new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream(),"UTF-8");
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(ins);
    String inMessage =  in.readLine();The received message is still garbled.

  • Non English characters in BIP email

    Hi, my report contains Japanese characters, when I view the output in HTML format. It is displayed properly. But when I click on send button , enter email parameters like to, cc, bcc, subject , etc and send it, in the mail I receive, the japanese characters are not getting displayed properly. The same problem occurs for spanish and portugese texts-in general to all non english characters. I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 10.1.3.4. If someone has faced a similar issue, kindly help. Thanks in advance

    Suggestions
    1) Try with NLS_LANG as
    SWEDISH_SWEDEN.WE8DEC
    2) Make a paramform and enter via paramform (unencoded)
    (This is just for testing purpose)
    3) Change machine locale to swedish and try
    4) Which reports version is this ?
    Please see
    BUG 2713695 - NLS CHARACTERS FOR PARAMETERS CHANGE TO QUESTION MARKS WHEN PASSED ON URL BAR
    Get in touch with Support to see if this is the issue and if "yes" get a one-off patch.

  • How to retrieve non-english characters from a query

    Hello,
    My apologies if this post is not in its proper place, but I was a bit confused where to add it.
    I'm running a query using SQL Developer on a table which contains several companies names from many different countries, and one of the checks I need to make to ensure data consistency is to search for all rows which the name of company contains special or non-english characters (like ç, ã, ä as example).
    I don't know what can I use to do this. I tried to collate using NLS_SORT but it didn't work.
    Is there someway to select only the rows that contain these special or non-english characters, excluding from the results the rows that only have english characters? Please have in mind that we have many languages in this table.
    The field I would like to make the conditions on is VARCHAR2.
    Please let me know if there is any extra information I should provide you so that you can help me.
    Thank you in advance for the help.
    Regards,
    Luís
