Search on Chinese Characters

Hi,
I have problem with running a query where I search for records using the "like" clause. The data is in Chinese and search is inconsistent.
The records are sometimes displayed right with certain like criteria where as they fail with the others.
Any help?
Thanks.

The encoding used in <String>.getBytes(java.lang.String encodingName1) and that used in the constructor String(byte[], encodingName2) ought to be the same, i.e.,
"encodigName1.equals(encodingName2)" must be true.
And if you obtain a byte array through the getBytes("US-ASCII") the correct information of Unicode characters is lost there.

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?

How to configure my Firefox thus allowing me to input Chinese characters into the search box by using PenPower writing pad while this problem doesn't exist when I am using Internet Explorer?

I am using the electronic writing pad made by PENPOWER Inc. to input Chinese characters onto my PC programs (e.g. Winword, Internet Explorer, Excel, etc.) But I can not make it happened on Firefox, please advice what I have to do with the configuration of the Firefox or using any other method to make it work. Thanking you guys in advance for helping me to solve this problem.

cor-el,
Thank you very much for your advice. The new software of Penpower works rightaway after I installed it on my pc. Thanks again.

How to use a select statement with chinese characters?

I am currently developing a java servlet<using tomcat 4.x> which allows me to use select statement to retrieve results from the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database. I am using a simple form to get the parameter for querying. The main problem i'm facing is that there are chinese information in the SQL database, but i can't retrieve it through the sql statement with the chinese characters input<thru the form with the help of NJ STAR>in the WHERE condition. When i execute the statement, it returns me no results even though the rows are present in the database.
Does anyone have the solution to using chinese words in the WHERE clause of the select statement to retrieve results with columns which contains chinese characters? Please help me. Thanks everyone. :)
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in the sql database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excel 2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..
please heelppp~~

Greetings,
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in thesql
database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in
questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excelThis is why the SELECT is not returning any results.
You need to set the character encoding set on your
statement and parameters for the characters to be
properly translated. Refer to the charsetName
parameter in the String class constructor in your API
docs and also to
$JDK_DOCS/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html in your JDK
documentation.
2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..Because Office programs are performing the same kind
of character translation with the appropriate MS APIs.
please heelppp~~Regards,
Tony "Vee Schade" Cookis it possible for you to show me some coding examples? i don't really understand what is to be done in order to set the char set and what does it really do.. tried reading up but still dun understand.. :(
pardon my shallow knowledge of java..
ok..
The thing is when i used an insert statement with chinese characters of GBK format hardcoded into the java servlet and then i use the insert statement to insert the chars into the database, it cannot be seen as a chinese word when i off the NJStar. and then it can be searched out with my current form of servlet.. below is my coding of the servlet..
note: i've set my html file to charset = GBK

with the above servlet i created, i can search out the data in the database which i've inserted through the insert statement. I still can't search for things i've keyed into the database directly using NJStar..
thank you so much for helping.. really hope any one else who knows the answer to this will reply too... thank you all so much...

Printing chinese characters on a Zebra printer using Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with some words in English and another one in simplified chinese. We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD with the AZPL203 driver.
When we print the form in the zebra printer some of the chinese characters are printed and some of them no.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Thanks a lot
Miquel A. Vergara

Chinese Characters in Netlogon.log

Hello,
I have enabled netlogon logging, and am noticing a few things that I am unable to diagnose after further research. My main concern is with a critical error that seems to occur every ten minutes. Occasionally the Chinese characters change but always translate
to roughly the same message. Searching google for information about "I_NetlogonLdapLookup" has provided no helpful information either. Does anybody know what could cause this? We have 3 DCs (Server 2008R2, 2012) and this shows up in all three netlogon
logs.
08/26 17:55:40 [CRITICAL] I_NetlogonLdapLookup: unrecognized parameter 湄䡳獯乴浡ѥ䠗偙剅㍖渮
All client computers are Windows 7 Pro x64. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Alex Tester Information Technology Assistant National Automotive Experts

I noticed having chinese characters in my netlogon.log as well:
10/23 02:27:14 [CRITICAL] I_NetlogonLdapLookup: unrecognized parameter
湄䡳獯乴浡ѥ嘓ⵓ䅒㉓挮
10/23 02:27:14 [MAILSLOT] Received ping from SERVERNAME DOMAINNAME.SUFFIX (null) on UDP LDAP
The [CRITICAL] error occurs with the [MAILSLOT] ping record at the exact same time. The server name in the [MAILSLOT] error is always a 2012 server.
Almost all of my 2012 servers are in different [MAILSLOT] ping records at different times coupled with the [CRITICAL] error.
I have a mixed domain with 2008 SP2 DCs at 2003 forest and domain functional levels.
I would contribute this problem to having 2012 servers in the domain. As to why this is occurring, I cannot figure out. I haven’t been able to find any logs on the 2012 servers displaying this information.

Chinese Characters in Netlogon.log -- re-asking

We have 822 occurrences of the following:
[CRITICAL] I_NetlogonLdapLookup: unrecognized character <Chinese characters>
in the last 2 days. The previous thread on this subject was marked "Answered" without being answered, so I'm re-asking:
1. Does anyone have any substantive information about what's sourcing this?
2. How can I associate a source IP with a single entry in the netlogon.log?
Here's what we know so far:
We have a Chinese linguist who has broken the character string down to 2 sections, the first being the same for all occurrences and the second being random-looking. He says the first section refers to "boats" or "water" and is looking
farther, but he says the string definitely looks like virus-like activity.
Second, I_NetlogonLdapLookup is a function inside netlogon.dll, so intuition says something is trying to do an LDAP lookup on the Chinese character string. We are looking into exactly how that function is supposed to be called (we're network guys, not
coders, so this may take longer than it should). Can someone help shorten this search?
C: There's no consistent contextual activity surrounding the actual log entries, so we're expecting to find out that there's more than one source, so it's extra important we figure out how to associate a source IP with these [CRITICAL] log entries,
especially since we may be looking for a root kit or something else that's able to hide from our multiple AV programs.
Assistance is appreciated, good analytical step-oriented result-generating assistance is GREATLY appreciated!
Robert
Oh yeah -- this is being logged on a DC in a 2008R2 domain with a small but growing number of 2012 member servers and almost no remaining servers lower than 2008R2. I can provide more details if anyone needs them

Hi all --
OK. It looks like we're all on the same page.
Here's a summary of the issue:
netlogon.log [CRITICAL] entry is reporting a failed attempt to execute an LDAP lookup on a Chinese character string (I_NetlogonLDAPLookup is a function inside netlogon.dll). There are no audit failures or other Event Log warnings or errors associated
with the log entries, so it's likely that the lookup is being performed after logging on to the domain with valid credentials. We don't think the character string is corrupted data because the first half of the string is identical in every
log entry and the total number of characters used across all occurrences is very small). Also, the variations in the 2nd half of the string are methodical and repetitive.
We hoped that translating the Chinese string would yield a clue pointing to the source of the attempted LDAP lookup. That didn't happen so we now must figure out how work back from the netlogon.log entry to the source platform.
The current situation:
The [CRITICAL] entries continue to be logged.
The distribution across 3 days of logs is making it look like we need to assume not one, but multiple sources.
I appreciate the standard advice re: 3rd-party AV software, DC build practices, security scans, power erasers and the like, but we are a QA/Test lab for a very complex product; scientific method and the need for operational stability preempts
us taking any corrective actions on any of our DCs (8 machines, 4 domains, 2 forests), Exchange servers (4 versions, 2 clusters per version) , Lync (2 versions), OCS, PKI, WSUS, DNS, DHCP, DHCPv6, SQL, or member servers until we actually prove that the machine in
question is a source of the bogus lookup attempts.
Paul -- I REALLY appreciate your straightforward no-bs reply. I can work with "I don't know" . Try-this-article-I-just -Googled Whack-A-Mole easter egg hunts, however.... <grin>
I'm going to close with one last (hopefully ) simple question: Where do I start the search for the UberSME who knows how to read the netlogon.log - specifically how to connect an event with its legitimate predecessor. Somebody
wrote the service, somebody knows how to interpret its logging output. Where do I start looking for them?
Best Regards,
Robert

Full text search in Chinese Language not finding results

We are translating one of our Webhelp projects into
simplified chinese, and everything is working fine except full text
search. We can type chinese characters into the search box but no
results appear even though we have already translated a lot of the
webhelp into chinese. Note that we have breadcrumbs, TOC and Index
functioning correctly in chinese.
The FAQ for Robohelp claims that FTS is supported in other
languages but I am stuck - I can't figure out how to make it work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There was some language stuff in those patches that I hoped
would fix your problem, obviously not.
I am not familiar with working with languages. Have you tried
changing the language in Project Settings? Have you tried importing
a couple of topics into a new project?
Beyond that, hopefully someone with more relevant knowledge
can help you.

I have Chinese Characters showing up on the top of my Firefox page.

The Chinese Characters have been showing up for a couple of months. I have tried using various Virus Detecting programs such as MalewareBites but they don't seem to fix the problem. These Chinese Characters show up on the initial Firefox Search Screen as well as my ANZ Bank and Ancestry.com.au webpages just to name a few. How can I get rid of them. These Chinese Characters don't appear on Google or Internet Explore. If this can't be fixed I may have to stop using Firefox and use Google or Internet Explorer. I have tried attaching an image of this problem but it appears I am unable to.

Hi, this is a known problem with McAfee Site Adviser, so if you are using it, that could be the cause. [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/76071?tstart=0 Here's a link to their forum], and [http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100162 here's instructions] for removing it - should you wish to.
Hope that helps.

Chinese Characters Displaying as Boxes

My iTunes used to display Chinese characters fine. But today, they all show up as boxes. I originally thought that it was something wrong with Windows, but I'm pretty sure it's an issue with iTunes. I tried to type in Chinese, and it works fine in other programs, but when I do it within iTunes (to change a song title), it becomes a box. And when I browse to the file within My Computer, the filename shows up in Chinese. But if I look at the properties of a song (Get Info), it will show the path with all the Chinese characters replaced by boxes. I believe this problem came up today, as I synced my iPhone last night, and it was fine then. I even tried to change the Language Preferences, but that only changed the menus and my songs are still boxes. Anyone else have this problem?

Anyone else have this problem?

However, I can't see the chinese characters displayed in the db. The charset and collation of my table are utf8 and utf8_bin respectively. Can anyone help me? Below is my source code

objConn.execQuery(conn, "insert into TBL_test

Command line e-mail with Chinese Characters

We are writing a script that tells users that their password will expire
in 2 weeks and how to change it in various places like network,
GroupWise, PDA, conferencing system...
Problem is that we have Many Chinese so we want the e-mail to be in both
Chinese and English. We are using nail to format the e-mail but it is
always coming through with boxes for the Chinese characters. Any idea
one where the problem is occurring?
Thanks,
John

Copy/Paste Bug (Chinese Characters Added)

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure what is going on but recently, when I copy/paste something on my MacBook Pro, running the latest Mavericks, it sometimes appends some weird Chinese characters at the end of it. It will only show up sometimes and only in certain programs (such as copying URLs).
This worries me very much for some obvious reasons. I don't have Chinese enabled, the characters are not always the same, and I have absolutely no idea why it is doing this.
Any suggestions? Is this some weird but known bug? Am I the victim of some sort of spyware? Any suggestions as to what I should use to try to track this down? A quick google search turned nothing up.
I would demonstrate the bug here but it isn't currently reproducing the problem. As I said earlier: It's rather intermittent.
Any help or suggestions would really help me out.
Thanks.

I doubt anyone can help without a screen shot of what you are seeing. Come back when you have one. In the meantime I would not worry, it is most likely some kind of encoding glitch. You don't have to "enable" a language to have it displayed on your screen, OS X automatically does that.

Firefox has a hidden tab with Chinese characters.

The Firefox block on the taskbar line had Chinese characters displaying the current location. I closed all of my tabs and then clicked to quit Firefox. I then got a dialog box stating that I had multiple tabs open with Save, Quite, Cancel as options. The Chinese site was some how operating on a hidden tab. I had visited only sites such as BBC, Google Search, some trusted weather sites and downloaded some PDF from sites the McAfee had flagged as Safe. Any ideas?

If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
The "RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin" extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
You can disable/remove the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

you are correct. Every single BlackBerry Playbook sold in the world lacks Chinese input.
