Hello javaGurus!
<Please Help me regarding displaying unicode>
I am new to javaInternationalization,
Till now i studies. Java Internationalization tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html and understand basic Structure.
I have some problem displaying the unicode characters, such at, Arabic, and japneese.
- How to display unicodes in applet?
- How can we set the the Japneese, English, Arabic fonts in one application, which run on windows environment.
- From where i can get the font s?

If you specify a String object with the unicode sequences (of the form "\u####\u####"), you can simply display it with the method setText(String) of the class javax.text.JTextComponent (or javax.JTextArea), for example. If you specify a String object with your own encoding in your source code, you can compile it with the command:
javac -encoding <encodingName> fileName
On Windows OS, the font ArialUnicodeMS will display almost all characters you are to show.
You can find downloadable fonts in almost any search engine.

How to display unicode string in alv

Hi,guys, I came accross one problem on displaying unicode string in alv rows.
some string like this: \u591c\u9e23\u732a , They are displayed directly in alv. Actually, they are some chinese characters.
Any one could help me? Should I invoke any function module to convert it ?
Thanks.

Displaying Unicode in Sweden

Hi,
I'm trying to get a JTextPane to display Unicode (e.g. Chinese) characters. I'm situated in Sweden so my cup of Java (or something) doesn't seem too happy about it ;).
More specifically, I want to paste a, say, Chinese character into a JTextPane and have it displayed as one and not as a square. Then I want to send it to another JTextPane and have it displayed there.
I've looked at the String and the character is properly encoded there. I've tried to exchange the font.properties file with font.properties.zh_TW but to no good. I've also tried to edit the font.properties file, using the Arial Unicode MS font (which is pre installed on my Windows 2000 OS) and the SYMBOL_CHARSET (instead of simple Arial and ANSI_CHARSET), but that haven't helped me either.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Pelle

The remedy may depend on whether the problem is specific to JTextPane or to any other TextComponent's. Does the method setText(String) work?

Create HTML file that can display unicode (japanese) characters

Hi,
Product:           Java Web Application
Operating system:     Windows NT/2000 server, Linux, FreeBSD
Web Server:          IIS, Apache etc
Application server:     Tomcat 3.2.4, JRun, WebLogic etc
Database server:     MySQL 3.23.49, MS-SQL, Oracle etc
Java Architecture:     JSP (presentation) + Java Bean (Business logic)
Language:          English, Japanese, chinese, italian, arabic etc
Through our java application we need to create HTML files that have to display unicode text. Our present works well with English and most of the european character set. But when we tried to create HTML files that will display unidoce text, say japanese, only ???? is getting displayed. Following is the code we have used. The out on the browser displays the japanese characters correctly. But the created file displays only ??? in place of japanese chars. Can anybody tell how can we do it?
<%
String s = request.getParameter( "txt1" );
out.println("Orignial Text " + s);
//for html output
String f_str_content="";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<HTML><HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<META content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<BODY> ";
f_str_content = f_str_content +s;
f_str_content = f_str_content +"</BODY></HTML>";
f_str_content = new String(f_str_content.getBytes("8859_9"),"Shift_JIS");
out.println("file = " + f_str_content);
          byte f_arr_c_buffer1[] = new byte[f_str_content.length()];
f_str_content.getBytes(0,f_str_content.length(),f_arr_c_buffer1,0);
          f_arr_c_buffer1 = f_str_content.getBytes();
FileOutputStream l_obj_fout; //file object
//file object for html file
File l_obj_f5 = new File("jap127.html");
if(l_obj_f5.exists()) //for dir check
l_obj_f5.delete();
l_obj_f5.createNewFile();
l_obj_fout = new FileOutputStream(l_obj_f5); //file output stream for writing
for(int i = 0;i<f_arr_c_buffer1.length;i++ ) //for writing
l_obj_fout.write(f_arr_c_buffer1);
l_obj_fout.close();
%>
thanx.

Try changing the charset attribute within the META tag from 'utf-8' to 'SHIFT_JIS' or 'utf-16'. One of those two ought to do the trick for you.
Hope that helps,

Displaying unicode or HTML escaped characters from HTTPService in Flex components.

Here is a solution on the Flex Cookbook I developed for
displaying data in Flex components when the data comes back from
HTTPService as unicode of HTML escaped data:
Displaying
unicode or HTML escaped characters from HTTPService in Flex
components.

Hi again Greg,
I have just been adapting your idea for encountering
occasional escaped characters within a body of "normal" text, eg
something like
hellô sun&scaron;ine
Now, the handy String.fromCharCode(charCode) call works a
dream if instead of the above I have
hellô sunšine
Do you know if there is an equivalent call that takes the
named entities rather than the numeric ones? Clearly I can just do
some text substitution to get the mapping, but this means rather
more by-hand work than I had hoped. However, this is definitely a
step in a useful direction for me.
Thanks,
Richard
PS hoping that the web page won't simply outguess me and
replace all the above! Basically, the first line uses named
entities and the second the equivalent numbers...

Problems displaying unicode encodeded characters in components

I'm having problems getting Flash to display unicode that is
imported from XML. In the example below the unicode characters in
the name tag come through in Flash exactly as typed eg: \u00EA
The xml file is written by PHP.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Colortool><Siding><item><type>c</type><id>11</id><name>Rev\u00EAtement
Sp\u00E9cial</name>
etc..
However I've also tried re-saving the file manually in an
editor encoded as UTF-8. Same result.
Setting up a little test like:
temp = "Rev\u00EAtement de premi\u00E8re qualit\u00E9";
trace ("temp: " + temp);
Traces: Revêtement de première qualité as
expected.
Any ideas why it works when the variable is set in Flash, but
not when it's loaded from XML?
Thanks,
Anson

By experimenting and some searching through the net I figured out that you need to set the right font. Kannada can be displayed using Tunga font on windows. But neither HTMLEditor nor TextArea has a setFont() method. Instead I tried with Text.
text.setFont(Font.font("Tunga", 25.0));
This worked partially. For example, if I try printing the character 'ಲಿ' its two component characters 'ಲ ಿ' are getting printed. They are not joining to form one single character 'ಲಿ'. Kannada like other Indic scripts is a complex layout script and I figured out from this post that complex layouts are not yet supported.

I cannot display unicode

I am new to java programming and I have a sample program which display a unicode characrer as below
class checkCharacterLiterals{
     public void main static(String[] arguments){
          String testString;
          testString="Madura Makalandana\u2122";
          System.out.println(testString);
the \u2122 for displaying the TM character. But when the program runs, it display another unknown character. Please advice for me

You can't display unicode in a console/terminal/dos window unless the console/terminal/dos window supports it. You are using System.out.println... if you want to see the text, create a JTextArea or something to append the text to.

The latest J2RE 1.4.2_03 can display Unicode characters that are not necessarily supported by your host's ANSI character set. Set the font of the frame appropriately, and give it a try with a newer VM.

Displaying unicode characters

Dear all,
I am currently dealing with a character displaying problem on the MAM.
We will soon go live in China. Until now we only had European countries, with a Latin alphabet.
Now however this changes, so we need to use Unicode to display all characters correctly.
Therefor I have converted all our custom language files to language files with Unicode escape characters.
e.g.:
EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=设备材料号码
Now the strange thing is that when we login in Chinese, everything is displayed correctly, but when we login in German or Polish (countries which also have some special characters), we don't see everything displayed correctly.
This is the code how we display an entry from the language file on the screen:
<%@page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text-html; charset=UTF-8"
<jsp:useBean id="res" class="com.sap.ip.me.api.services.MEResourceBundle" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
<%=PageUtil.ConvertISO8859toUTF8(res.getString("CONFIRMATIONS_HEADER_DETAIL"))%>
For Chinese language, the characters are displayed correctly in this way.
e.g.: 最后一次同步时间
However Polish characters and German characters are not (always) displayed correctly.
e.g.: WskaÅºnik pierwszego usuniÄu2122cia usterki
The only 'difference' that I can see is that for China, every character in the language file has a special Unicode notation, while for Polish and German characters, only the special characters are displayed in special Unicode notation.
e.g.:
EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=Numer materia\u00c5‚u sprz\u00c4™tu
FYI, I've converted the files to Unicode escape characters with the java util native2ascii.exe.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve this issue?
Thanks already in advance!
Best regards,
Diederik
Edited by: Diederik Van Wassenhove on Jul 6, 2009 2:34 PM

Dear all,
I've found the reason for this problem.
Thanks anyway for your time!
The problem was that when converting the language files to Unicode escape characters, the source format was wrong. The files where saved as UTF-8, but the JAVA tool native2ascii is not taking UTF-8 as standard input format. So the resulting Unicode file was not containing the correct Unicode characters.
I've re-generated the language files with the parameter -encoding UTF-8, and now everything is displayed correctly!
Have a good day!

Display Unicode Character in Swing Objects

I am trying to display Chinese Characters using Swing GUI.
I created Unicode strings using escape character \uXXXX
I displayed \u4e00 successfully
However when I tried to display \ub8db i got a square box displayed instead.
I am using: Winnt ver 4 ,RichWin 97
private Object listData[] = {
new String("\ucfe3\ub8db"), // Two boxes displayed in list
new String("\u4e01\u4e00"), // Characters displayed correctly
new String("Third selection")
To hope to get some replies ASAP. Thanks!!!

Hi Patrick,
Yeh, fonts are rather ubiquitous when it comes to internationalization. The fact that the font.properties files still exist confuses a lot of people. In reality, Sun doesn't support them any more, and they aren't all that useful if you're actually deploying your code onto other machines.
So, to answer your questions... :D
1) Each component will have a font set on it. To start with, each component will end up with the JDK default, usually the Dialog font in Java. From memory, I think this maps to Arial on Windows systems, though I'm not sure if RichWin alters this in anyway, as I haven't used it myself.
You can check the available fonts on your machine by calling:
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
This returns an array of strings. You can basically create a new font from any of the names that appear in here. For instance, if one of the strings was "Arial Bold", you could create the following font:
Font myFont = new Font("Arial Bold", Font.PLAIN, 12);
2) The best way is to simply create the font you want on startup. If you can't rely on the font
you need being installed on every machine you plan to run your program on, the best solution is to either install it on startup, or carry it around with you.
Have a look at Font.createFont(), as it allows you to create a new Font object from a *.TTF file (a TrueType font). In JDK1.3, this is buggy, leaving a large temp file behind every time you run it, but I've already tried this under Merlin Beta, and it's fixed and working fine.
The reason this is handy is because the font we keep talking about on here, Arial Unicode MS, is a TrueType font. So you can carry the font around with you, and load it on startup using this call.
Arial Unicode MS is a 23Mb font, but it's capable of displaying just about any character you could imagine.
The trick from there, once you've loaded your font, is to make sure you call setFont() on just about any component you create. Menus are a cow - you've got to listen for events, as the dropdown menus don't always get the font straight away. But other than that, it's fairly simple.
3) The short answer is to call the getAvailableFontFamilyNames() call above, and look for any familiar font names. If you can't find any, you know you're not going to be able to display anything.
Windows seems to have standard fonts for the international languages. In Chinese, this is SimHei for Simplified (mainland) Chinese, and MingLiU for Traditional (Taiwanese) Chinese. Simplified covers about 30,000 Kanji, while Traditional covers around 80,000.
So for Chinese, you would look for "SimHei" and "MingLiU", plus any of the fonts capable of displaying anything, like "Arial Unicode MS". If none of these strings are in the array, you may want to carry the Arial Unicode MS installer around with you and execute it. This file is about 11Mb, and is available as a download off the Microsoft website.
4) Probably about the most useful thing I've come across is the Sun I18N tutorial on this very website. There isn't a heck of a lot out there, unfortunately. About the only other things I can recommend are http://www.unicode.org for the Unicode character codes, and http://www.njstar.com for NJStar Communicator, which you'll find useful if you're working with Chinese.
Oh, and watch this forum, of course. ;D
Hope that helps!

Regarding updating unicode check flag to all z* programs at once

Hi all,
We are upgrading from 4.7 to ecc 6.0   ,
we have created one pilot server where we have installed ecc 6.0 and all prduction data is copied on it .
OUR basis team has done that process and it is done with unicode check active ,
But   all Z programs such as few customs programs are still non-unicode as they are old programs so want
to update unicode check flag which is pressent in attributes of program .
MANUALly you can do for each program and activate that i know ,but how to do it all at once .
Because when we Excecute UCCheck we get all programs   which are nonunicode   , in which it shows that programs The system found no Unicode syntax errors . whichneeds to be just do unicode check flag active and activate the program .
How that can be done at once all .
Regards
Deepak.

Hi ,
My problem is solved ....
i found that after executing UCCHECK transaction code ,in display you will find one button on rigth side
"set unicode attribute"   . after selecting no of programs at once we can press that butoon .
The Unicode flag is set for the selected programs. The programs are
written into interactively selectable transport requests and generated.
You must later release the transport requests.
I hope this will be helpfull to all.
Regards
Deepak.

Firefox will no longer display Unicode symbols after update?

I am using Firefox on Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Just about two Firefox updates ago (roughly Firefox 14), Unicode symbols suddenly stopped displaying that had been displaying fine—switching to boxes with numbers in them.
I have changed my Encoding options to include every single form of Unicode available to me; I am not sure if that has any effect. (Screenshot here: http://puu.sh/QcF6 ) The best part? After doing so, restarting the browser makes the Unicode symbols appear again! No more boxes with numbers! Fixed, right?
''Nope''! When I come back to that page a week later, they are numbers in a box again. In fact, in some cases, the symbol will display temporarily (say, if I had saved it into a blog page), then when I go to edit that blog page, the symbol immediately switches back to box-with-numbers.
This is driving me mad, and was not previously an issue. What can I do to fix this?

Sorry for the late reply, I was waiting for the issue to re-occur. I have cleared and checked for damaged fonts, to no avail; the problem still exists. :(
'''Edit:''' In addition, I've just checked in both Chrome and Safari, and the Unicode symbol that I'm attempting to display are working fine in both of those browsers.

Goods Issue in MB!A, regarding display of avaliable stock

Hi,
During Goods Issue from transaction MB1A, the user wants to know if sufficient stock is avaliable, to check that user has to go to menu and view the avaliable stock which is very time consuming.
So the user wants the avaliable stock to be displayed on the screen where he enters the issue values.
Can this requirment be achieved by writing a screen exit, if so how can i find the name of the exit.
Thanks,
Sai.

Go to SMOD Trxn code and In Enhancement Field Press F4 and in Next Window Click on Information System Tab and Give Package Field value MB and Enter. Then it will show the list of User Exists.
Identify the User Exit which is suiting your Requirement / Else Communicate your abaper.

Display Unicode Chars in text box

This seems like it should be simple enough, but apparently, I am dense...
I want to display a Unicode char in a text box based on its hex code input. For instance, given x2190, I want to display a Left Arrow in a text box (x2190 is the code for left arrow). I tried Flatten To String function then wiring the string to a text box with Force Unicode set, but that doesnt work.
Or is there a simpler way to get non-ascii chars like arrows and such to display? Next stop is little bmps in a picture ring...ack
TIA
