ORE 1.3 support for Chinese characters?

I'm using ORE 1.3 on Linux, and my database tables have some fields containing Chinese string values. These Chinese string can be displayed correctly in Oracle SQL Developer, but in ORE 1.3 when I pull data into a data.frame, they are displayed as '????'. It is the same when I use ORE 1.3 Windows client. I know that R itself can process Chinese characters correctly. So I wonder if ORE 1.3 connections can process Chinese and how to. Thanks!

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Blank spaces while using GUI_DOWNLOAD for Chinese characters

Hi,
While using GUI_DOWNLOAD for chinese characters I have used a code page option of 8300 for Chinese.
The file which is getting downloaded in a notepad has some Chinese characters coming under some headings.
After that columns other columns are getting shifted towards the right.
This is working correctly for English characters.
Can someone please help me.
Now I am using CL_GUI_FRONT_END_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD.
What special options should I pass now.
Regards,
Subhashini

Hi,
I only solved my problem by using different code pages 8400 and 8300 for Chinese and Taiwanese characters.
I fixed the lengths of the fields by converting them to hexadecimal string and back to string using these function modules as below.
DATA:lv_xstring TYPE xstring,
       lv_temp TYPE string.
DATA: lv_conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
lv_temp = p_name.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
    EXPORTING
      codepage_to      = p_codepage
      unicode_string   = lv_temp
      out_len          = p_outlen
    IMPORTING
      xstring_stream   = lv_xstring
    EXCEPTIONS
      invalid_codepage = 1
      invalid_string   = 2
      OTHERS           = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
   EXPORTING
     from_codepage = p_codepage
     in_xstring    = lv_xstring
     out_len       = p_outlen
   IMPORTING
     out_string    = p_string.
Create a Conversion Instance
lv_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(
encoding = p_codepage
input = lv_xstring ).

Issue Searching for Chinese Characters

I am creating pdfs from SQL Server Reporting Services. I have the data stored in Chinese characters and it displays fine when the files are opened. Our problem is we are unable to search for any Chinese characters. When we copy a Chinese character from the document and paste into the search box we get the following and it does not find the characters.
When I inspect the Fonts it has the following :
Calibri /regular/bold/Italic (Embedded Subset)
     Type:True Type
     Encoding:Ansi
PMingLiU (Embedded Subset)
     Type:True Type
     Encoding:Ansi
PMingLiU (Embedded Subset)
     Type:True Type(CID)
     Encoding:Identity-H
Do I need to install different fonts on my server or clients to make the search box recoginize the Chinese characters.
I am using Reader v10.1.7 and I have installed both Chinese font packs

What is your operating system?
I cannot reproduce this with English Reader 11.0.3 on Windows 7. I open a random Chinese document (i.e. http://newyork.china-consulate.org/chn/lszj/P020110622119203610776.pdf), then search for some Chinese characters (e.g. 中国), it displays it correctly in the search box, and also finds the characters in the document:
Do you use the English or Chinese Reader version?

This is happening for the Chinese font. The same script is working fine for the English font.
Plz suggets
Thanks
Balaji

Hi Balaji,
I am having a similar issue with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Thai fonts when saving spools to PDF. Have you found any more information on why the output shows up as a blank screen?
We are printing Purchase Orders and the T&Cs are coming through fine because they are saved as picture files but the smartform does not display at all.
Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Code page conversion for chinese characters

Hi,
we receive an XML via JMS sender adapter where the code page in the Sending MQ system is cp850.
One tag we receive contain chinese characters but are encoded as below
<FAPIAO><Title>Ã©Â©Â¬Ã¤Â¹Â</Title><Remark>*Ã¦ÂÂ¤Ã¯Â¼ÂÃ¦Â³Â¢Ã§ÂÂ¹Ã¨ÂÂ*</Remark></FAPIAO>
We have tried the messageTransformBean in the sender JMS adapter to convert into UTF-8, but that gives no change.
If we use some other code page, BIG5 some of the characters are converted to chinese characters, but we need to have it as UTF-8.
Is this possible or do we have to use some other codepage?
Best Regards
Olof

XML has to be transported as binary always.
Remove the encoding parameter in comm. channel.
Besides: obviously this is UTF-8, so how can you say, the code page of the sending system is cp850?
It seems, that you have a wrong information.

Photoshop Touch support for Chinese, Japanese, & Korean?

open &menu-add text
Not supported chinese Japanese Korean

Hi vgxkghvgxkgh,
I've seen other reports about other non-english characters not working as well. I'm not sure if the issue is because the fonts which are included with Photoshop Touch don't include these characters (even though they appear with the native keyboard layout). Regardless, I'll pass the info on to the Photoshop Touch development group to ensure they are aware. Thanks for posting about the issue.

IPhoto Books - Support for Chinese Print?

Hi everyone,
I was planning to put together a photobook for my grandparents with Chinese text. If it shows up on my computer, will out come out looking the same (or will it be all garbled up)? I did a "preview book" and the characters showed up. Safe to order?

If you preview according to this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - it will print just like the preview - Apple guarantees it

HAL mounts USB flash devices without support for non-latin characters

Hey folks!
How can I make HAL mount USB flash devices with support for German characters such as ä, ö, ü, ß, etc? At the moment there's only a silly question mark instead: http://www12.file-upload.net/20.08.08/3cpcpx.png .
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

I think it's a bug in KDE4, because no other window manager or desktop environment has such problems. I had it as well, when I used KDE4.0.* for testing and seems like this remained. Do you have a completely german KDE4? Check the system settings!
A thing comes to my mind, did you check it with konqueror? I guess this bug appears in dolphin, richtig? I schätz mal schon Try it with konqueror, if it doesn't appear there, it's a dolphin thing

Urgent: need to get support for ß, Ö special german characters

Hi I need to have support for this characters, how can I do this I saw I could do this on the client or directly on the database, the easiest way will be my way so if someone knows how to do this I wait for an answer.

UTF8 character set conversion for chinese Language

Hi friends,
Would like to some basic explanation on UTF8 feature,what does it help while converting the data from chinese language.
Would like to know what all characters this UTF8 will not support while converting from chinese language.
Thanks & Regards
Ramya Nomula

Not exactly sure what you are looking for, but on MetaLink, there are numerous detailed papers on NLS character sets, conversions, etc.
Bottom line is that for traditional Chinese characters (since they are more complicated), they require 4 bytes to store the characters (such as UTF-8, and AL32UTF8). Some mid-eastern characters sets also fall in this category.
Do a google search on "utf8 al32utf8 difference", and you will get some good explanations.
e.g., http://decipherinfosys.wordpress.com/2007/01/28/difference-between-utf8-and-al32utf8-character-sets-in-oracle/
Recently, one of our clients had a question on the differences between these two character sets since they were in the process of making their application global. In an upcoming whitepaper, we will discuss in detail what it takes (from a RDBMS perspective) to address localization and globalization issues. As far as these two character sets go in Oracle, the only difference between AL32UTF8 and UTF8 character sets is that AL32UTF8 stores characters beyond U+FFFF as four bytes (exactly as Unicode defines UTF-8). Oracle’s “UTF8” stores these characters as a sequence of two UTF-16 surrogate characters encoded using UTF-8 (or six bytes per character). Besides this storage difference, another difference is better support for supplementary characters in AL32UTF8 character set.
You may also consider posting your question on the Globalization Suport forum which pertains more to these types of questions.

Can properties file have chinese characters without unicode characters?

In my project we need to support for chinese locale. We are using Resource.properties file which has all the strings used in the application as English characters. Instead of English characters, Can the Resource.properties files be set up to save and use the Chinese characters instead of encoded unicode values?

as i knew , it can't.

Storing Chinese Characters

What are the NLS_CHARACTERSET and NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS settings required to store chinese characters?

AL32UTF8 and AL16UTF16 support exactly the same Unicode standard in a given Oracle version. Both support supplementary characters: AL32UTF8 as single 4-byte codes, AL16UTF16 as surrogate pairs (two codes 2 bytes each). Therefore, AL32UTF8 support for supplementary characters is actually more transparent.
Also, AL32UTF8 is only valid as the database character set (VARCHAR2, CHAR, LONG, CLOB), while AL16UTF16 is only valid as the national character set (NVACHAR2, NCHAR, NCLOB).
UTF8 is the character set that should be avoided as it supports Unicode 3.0 only.

PDF conversion for chineese characters in Unicode system

I am facing a problem while converting the SAP Script Output to PDF format for Chinese characters.
I am working on ECC (5.0) Unicode system.
Scenario:
After saving a Purchase Order an E-mail is sent to the customer - attaching the
PO output in PDF format. E-mail was received successfully by the receiver, but while opening the pdf all the chinese characters were displayed in junk characters in the pdf. All the English characters are properly displayed. I tried to open the pdf file in Acrobat Reader versions 6.0, 7.0, 8.0. but no result. I used CONVERT_OTF function module for converting the OTF format to PDF format. I tried using the fonts CNSONG also.
I tried by executing the standard program RSTXPDFT4 for converting to PDF by giving the spool. In the spool it is showing the Chinese characters perfectly but in the PDF the Chinese characters were were showing as Junk.
Can you please help and advice to see the Chinese characters in PDF in Unicode systems.
Thanks in advance.

I found a solution, but I am not sure, if it was for this problem or
output problem with for example PL in non-unicode systems.
I created the input for CONVERT_OTF with CALL FUNCTION 'PRINT_TEXT'.
PRINT_TEXT has to be called with DEVICE = 'PRINTER',
DEVICE = 'ABAP' uses internally the wrong code page.
You have also to set otf_options-tdprinter to a valid printer,
if it is empty, the default printer from user settings is used.
You can use code example from SAP note 413295.
Before you call CONVERT_OTF, you can also check entries with 'FC' in OTF input.
The font (see description of OTF format in SAP help) must be set like described in SAP note 144718.

How to get utf-8 Chinese Characters from Oracle DB by EJB

We have found that after disabling JIT in weblogic, the Chinese can be displayed correctly, otherwise, it doesn't work.How come this happens?

Thanks for all of your suggestions. It still refuses to work.
I entered the following: ��^�E on the HTML form using the Chinese(PRC)keyboard on my Win2K box.
I checked and verified the correct encoding in the servlet request (GB2312 for chinese characters)
request.getParameter(xxx) yields ???
new String(request.getParameter(xxx).getBytes("GB2312")) yields three boxes (values 20309, 27946 and 23380)
new String(request.getParameter(xxx).getBytes("GB2312"), "UTF-8") yields nothing
Any ideas?
