Problems displaying french special characters

Hello,
we are developing a multi-lingual WebDynpro application. The languages are set correct and the translation for all parts (portal, xls-files) works fine. Except the correct displaying of WebDynproResourceBundle-files.
Example:
We use the french property file with the content:
Enl\u00c3\u00a8vement
When calling this value, it displays:
EnlÃ¨vement
instead of
Enlèvement
I already tried to set the jvm system parameter for encoding to latin1 and latin2. But this didn't help.
Does anybody know, what parameter I have to set to have this french special signs displayed the right way?
Thank you in advance.
Matthias

Yes, I use UTF-8. I think this is the default-value, isn't it?
They are displayed wrongly, when executing the WebDynpro application. Inside the NWDS editor the display is like that:
example:
editor: language: browser: correct
gel\u00f6
scht de gelö
scht ok
Enl\u00c3\u00a8
vement fr EnlÃ¨
vement no!
As you can see, it works fine for german special characters, but not for french, czech and some other languages.
Thank you

Problems displaying some special characters on gray 80gb classic

Hello,
I recently got a new gray 80gb iPod classic and I have noticed that certain characters cannot be displayed on it. This occurs with characters such as 'ø' (which is actually the full name of an obscure minimal techno act from the early 1990s) and 'ÿ' (which would occur in the name of the metal band Queensrÿche in the case of my iPod). What is unusual is that these characters DO show up fine when I'm browsing through artists/albums, etc However when I actually play a song whose title or artist names contains such characters, they do not show up on the screen (next to the album art, title/artist/album interface).
Has anybody else noticed this and, if so, found any way to rememdy it?
Thanks in advance,
J

If your xml is utf-8 then I don't think you need the html
encoding with the ampersand.
The following works fine for me in windows:
var cdata="<b>Main Title Copy Goes Here
™</b>"
var tf:TextField=
this.createTextField("myTF",1,100,100,300,200);
tf.html=true;
tf.htmlText=cdata;
That was with the default settings and no embedded fonts etc.

French special characters not displayed properly in discoverer 11g

Gurus
We are upgrading to discoverer 11.1.1.3
I have found that French special characters (letters with accents) are not displayed properly in the discoverer tool menu.
Example
Sélectionner is displayed as S?lectionner.
This doesn't seem to be a server issue as one of the tester (in U.S) is able to see the french characters displayed and ironically it is not the case in France itself where this is required.
Please help
Regards
Ariv

Pl post details of the two clients being used in this scenario - the exact OS version, browser version, browser language settings, Java version etc
Since the accented character shows on one client , the issue is with the client or the settings on the client where the accented character is not showing correctly.

Transfer/Reply to emails with french special characters - BB 9360

Hi,
I've got a problem when I reply/transfer to mails with french special characters (such as "é" "è" "ç" etc..) => all the special characters are replaced with strange characters such as chinese letters or others.
No problem when I send an email with those same characters, it appears only when transfer or reply and only on special characters contained in the original mail I transfer/reply to.
is there a way to solve this issue?
thanks

while pressing the 'e' key, scroll your trackball side to side, you will find the various e variations.
You can do that with most keys to get special characters.

How to create French special characters on Linux

I have a Linux machine now, and originally, I had no problems to create French special characters while simply typing the key combintation of alt+<ASCII-number> on Windows. The special characters were displayed both in any text document and in Skype's chat text field. Now on Linux, this does not work, nor can I display special characters by trying it by making use of the Linux way - that is by hitting ctrl, shift, u and then e. g. 00e7 for a small "cédille". Is there any workaround for this in Linux?

I tested Skype for Ubuntu and it works. Here's how I did it:I pressed Ctrl+Shift+u (an underline u should appear)Then I typed 00e7 and I got underlined u00e7Finally, I pressed Enter after that u00e7 was converted to çThere is how I typed "cédille": ps. Please note 00e7 is code for ç, but not for é (which have code 00e9). See here the list of Unicode characters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

French Special Characters changing to Chinese

When I send emails from Mail using French special characters—á, ü, etc.—the recipient receives them as Chinese characters. This has happened to recipients who are using Outlook Express and Mail. The emails are usually group emails that I'm sending to about 50 people. Does anybody have any idea why this may be happening? Thanks for your help!

What's wrong with the built-in keyboard on my macbook? The caps button does not work rite, no matter what letter button i push they all come out capitals and the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers!

the built-in keyboard on my macbook is not functioning right, the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers,
the caps button doesn't work at all, the letter buttons display capitals when pushed whether the caps button is on or off, the shift keys are also out of whack!!
It seems it somehow got relocated to the "0" button because if you push and hold the zero button down the keyboard seems to operate normally, the number keys display numbers when pushed the letter keys display lower case when pushed but release the zero button and your back in the twilight zone!! Can anybody help me resolve this issue? one more thing im using an external usb keyboard right now and it seems to function properly if that helps any.

You would do better in the actual macbook pro forums (this is not).

Interactive report : issue with french special characters

Hi,
We have many interactive reports and we can't use any french special characters in the filter clauses. For example, Montréal becomes montrÃ©al.
What parameters do we have to change to make it work?
Thanks.

I found the answer in this thread : Interactive Report Character Set Issue

Problem with Icelandic special characters on Mac

Hello
I am working on a Flash publication for students, and I want it to run on Mac as well as PC. Everything goes fine, except a problem with three special characters in my language, Icelandic. I am working on a registration and login page where I am using text boxes and text input boxes. Everything looks correct on PC, but on Mac the characters Þ Ð Ý are lost.
I have tried different fonts etc.
Any idea what is wrong?
Jónas Helgason

Hello Jónas,
Did you ever figure this out ?
I have a similar problem except only with two letters (both upper and lower case). These two Icelandic letters can't be entered into a Flex TextInput box in the Flex apps I am creating when they are loaded on a Mac. The letters are known as &Eth, &eth, &Thorn and &thorn in HTML terminology. Typing these characters on the keyboard results in the following: { [ ? /
However I can copy the characters in question from some other app like TextEdit and paste them into a TextInput box in my Flex app and all is well, they show up correctly.
This happens regardless of the Mac browser used and the Flash plugin version used (have tried both 9 and 10) and also happens in the standalone Flash Player application.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or is this a bug in Flash Player ? This is really annoying as it makes text input into Flex apps on Icelandic Macs very difficult.
There must be something wrong with the mapping of keyboard key codes into character codes on the Mac that is causing this.
Btw, I just heard from a friend that this problem does not exist in MacOS 10.6. I am running 10.4 and have tested this on 10.5 and it exists on both of those OS versions.

### Problem in retrieving special characters with Oracle 9i JDBC drivers

hi,
We are having some problem with retrieving special characters like '�' from the database.
Our application is using JDK1.3.1 with Oracle 9i at the back end(Version: 9.0.1.0.0). We are using oracle 9i thin drivers (classes12.zip) for database interaction.
To relieve the data from database we are using PreparedStatement in two ways
1. Creating a preparedstatement from connection object without any parameters and then retrieve the
data using it. This gives the results in correct format i.e. special characters like '�'
2. Create the preparedstatement by passing the following parameters.
i) ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE
ii) ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
In this case we are not able to retrieve the special character like '�' correctly. Instead the ResultSet
returns 'h'
I think this is the problem with Oracle drivers. Does anyone have any information about the mentioned problem.
rgds

I don't know exactly (because I am using JDK 1.4 with ojdbc14.jar where these problems seem to be rare...) but you may consider this:
1. Add nls_charset12.zip to your classpath to ensure that the encoders are present (may or may not help)
2. Swith to JDK 1.4, and do this:
Instead of String s = getString(column)
use
byte[] bytes = getBytes(column);
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes); // in package java.nio
CharBuffer cb = Charset.forname("ISO-8859-x").decode(bb);
String s = cb.toString();
The latter method allows you to perform the encoding/decoding manually.
3. Change the character encoding in the database to unicode upon database setup.
4. Try playing with NLS parameters (alter session ...)

Problems with Turkish special characters

Hello!
We are producing Oracle Help with WebWorks Publisher 2003 Professional for FrameMaker. There are some problems with the Turkish version of our online help: The Turkish special characters (for example the dotless i) aren´t displayed correctly in the navigation panes TOC and index. They are replaced by other characters (for example by a "y")
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Miriam Rassenhofer

Miriam,
What encoding are the TOC and index XML files being generated in? You should use UTF-8 for the minimum of problems. I presume WebWorks has an option for this. Other than that, make sure the top of those XML files has the proper XML declaration with the encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>You may want to try opening the XML files in an XML-aware text editor to ensure they look right there (JDeveloper is one such editor).
If all of that is working, post back and we can talk offline about getting a snippet of one of those XML files for us to look at.

Problems with using special characters in Interactive Report Search

Hi!
I am currently developing an Application on Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 including a page with an Interactive Report, facing the problem that I cannot use special german characters in the Searchbar.
So if i try to find a name like 'Schröder' the created Filter looks like this 'SchrÃ¶der' and i won't get any valid search results. By the way the rest of the application supports these special characters like using them in Buttons or any other Page elements.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this problem, because it's driving me nuts ;)
Thanks in advance
Philipp

Does noybody have a clue how to solve this problem. I tried to find out where the Problem occures. The Ajax Request looks like this
f01     contains
f01     SchrÃ¶der
f01     15
p_flow_id     100
p_flow_step_id     50

x01     14175446766823030
x02     14176526259823035
So I guess it has to be inside the Javascript file (apex_ns_3_1.js). I hope someone can help me.

Problem with german special characters in APEX

Hi,
we have a problem with all the special characters in german language in our Application.
APEX version 3.1.0.00.32 is installed on a oracle database 9.2.0.6.0
The nls_characterset of the database is: American_America.WE8ISO8859P1
We have modified the wdbsvr.app file on our HTTP-Server like it's shown in the installationguide for APEX and have set the nls_lang parameter to American_America.AL32UTF8.
If I look at the source code of the html-pages of our application, there are already the following settings in the header of every page:
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
With this settings all the german special characters like ä ö ü are not shown correctly in the browser.
What can I do that the pages are shown correctly?
Thanks for help!

Hi Petra,
ok, so my guess was correct. So the solution is to set the charset attribute in the HTML header to "charset=UTF-8". This is actually the way it should be. But I'm wondering why it is not in your case? Are you using a custom template for the page(s) in question where the charset attribute is set to a custom value? The meta tags in the HTML header are usually set by/through the #HEAD# substitution string in the header definition section of the page template, cp. one of the page templates in Shared Components --> Templates. And as far as I know you are not able to change this substitution string, you can only switch the inclusion on/off with the option "Include Standard CSS and JavaScript" in each page definition. (I might be mistaken, though, I'm quite new to APEX...)

Mysql problem with german special characters

hi,
I wrote a software and it worked quite good, but after I installed it on a new machine with j2se 1.4 I've problems with the german special characters.
this code works good on the old machine (jdk 1.3.1) and prints the wanted characters like �,�,�.
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
java.sql.Connection conn;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb?user=testuser&password=xxxx");
Statement s = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet r = s.executeQuery("select something from testtb where id='1'");
r.first();
System.out.println( r.getString(1) );
but on the new machine (j2se 1.4) I only receive the character ?.
I updated my org.gjt.mm.mysql to the current MySQL Connector/J 3.0.9 and added
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb?user=testuser&password=xxxx&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=ISO-8859-1");
but I've got still the same problem.
Thanks in advance
Markus

with "wanted characters like �,�,�"
I meant: like ä,ü,ö

Jar (or Zip) file with problems in accents, special characters

Hi! I've a servlet that creates a jar (or zip) file and then send it. My problem is that when I create an entry in which the filename has special characters such as accents, when I unjar or unzip de file, it brings a lot of garbage characters. For example, the nex entry:
Ex�menes.doc
when unzipped is:
Ex?�menes.doc
I've tried a lot of things:
-Setting the locale to ES, MX
-Replacing all the letters with special characters with its unicode (like s.replace('�','\u00E1')
-Trying to convert it to UTF8 (new String(path.getBytes(),"UTF8") )
-Replacing the file separator char (according to a workaround that I found in the bug database)
But nothing of this worked, alone or together. I've read that this is (or was) a bug in the API, but don't know if a solution has been found.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

It's not clear what you are asking. Maybe this will help
