[solved] Get chinese character to display in urxvt

Hey guys,
I'm running urxvt (specifically, rxvt-unicode-256xresources from the AUR), and I'm having trouble getting about half of the chinese characters to display. For example, the character 刘 shows up as a box. In my .Xresources, I have
URxvt*.font: xft:dejavu sans mono:size=10:antialias=true,\
xft:sazamani mincho:size=10:antialias=true,\
xft:arphic ukai:size=10:antialias=true
which I know covers the character at least once, which leads me to believe urxvt isn't choosing fonts corrects. Anyone run into this problem before?

Well I'll be! I tried installing and using terminus, and it does indeed display it, but it was extremely ugly. After reinstalling vanilla urxvt, using my original config worked like a charm! I guess patches are patches for a reason.

Hi,
I have no problem with getting the chinese character in my localPC with the following code.
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
But when i upload it to linux server and access it in my local PC, i found the same problem occured. So, i added
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
As i need to pass this value to another page, so i encode it by using URLEncode like below before go to the other page :-
artistName = java.net.URLEncoder.encode(artistName,"UTF-8");
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks

Window 8.1 Chinese character cannot display properly in a game even though I have downloaded and install all chinese language packs

Hi,
The operation system for my computer is Window 8.1. I am currently trying to install a chinese game. Even though I have downloaded and install all the chinese language pack, I have even set the regional language locale to chinese (similified / traditional),
the chinese characters will not display properly in the game. Some people told me i need to set the locale to Chinese PRC, but I am not sure where to download this PRC language pack for window 8.1 (as I only have chinese simplified and chinese traditional).
I would greatly appreciate if someone can give me a hand in solving this problem. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Gurus!
I have searched in SDN before posting this thread, as i could not able to find solution for my problem.
In VL02n - Delivery note - my user gives the customer part number sometimes in English and sometimes in Chinese.
Now i am facing the problem - i could not able to see any chinese characters in print preview ( it shows some garbage characters sometimes and sometimes #### ) and in printout - i see ####.
The things i have done is:
i have activated the multibyte functionality in local layout (ALT + F12) - I18N.
Checked the printer output device - in SPAD - the device type is 'CNSAPWIN : MS WINDOWS DRIVER VIA SAPLPD'.
In control panel - regional and lang. options - install east asian languages has got tick mark
So what else i need to do to get the chinese characters in print preview as well as in print out.
Thanks,
Sakthi Sri.

Thanks.

Chinese Character display issue on Coldfusion 10

My Company using Coldfusion to built an report platform and recently I upgrade our Coldfusion 7MX with Windows Server 2003 to Coldfusion 10 Enterprise with Windosw Server 2008 R2.
I copy the Code from the Old server to the new one, but I met the problem I couldn’t solve.
We have a repost that can enter, modify and view our SRM that has Chinese Character display request. Chinese character was display without problem when the system in the old server. which look like following.
once I move the code into the new server, I got the problem with Chinese Character as following.
This report pulling the data from SQL2005 with Windows Server 2003 R2.
Coldfusion code code was same and both version is access to the same database.
I ran all of the update included to install the windows MUI for Chinese character into the new server, but I still can't get the character display correctly.
I can view the chinese character website without issue but only to display in the report.
I contact with Microsoft tech support but they don't have an solution for me. please help.

Install windows server language pack: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12250
Are you sure the Chinese is encoded in UTF-8? (It should be, but you should check the database field type encoding.) If it's simplified chinese it could be set to GB18030 and if it's traditional chinese it could be Big5.
You might want to leave off the encoding directive in CF and load the page in a browser then change encodings using tools > encodings to see what works.

Display chinese character

I have a java application with read string from IE browser through JNI interface.
The issue is the String i got, which is "\u963f\u5f1f\u4ed4" can't be display in Chinese directly.
I do following convetion, it doesn't work.
byte[] sb=link.getBytes();
String Zhongwen=new String(sb, "GB2312");
But if I define a this String in my application, it works.
String link = "\u963f\u5f1f\u4ed4";
I bet Java treats first case as a buch of seperate characters since if I build
a String as "\\u" + "963f", I can't get chinese character.
So it is looks I can only use the parseInt(..) method on the Integer class and casting the result to a char.
try
char p = (char)Integer.parseInt(x, 16);
System.out.println(p);
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
Does antbody have another solution?

The most probable source of error is character encoding conversion...most likely from the IE browser to the Java environment. Do you have a way to find out what encoding is used in the browser? IE will transfer form data back to the server in either UTF-8 or the encoding of the original form.
Transfer the data from IE correctly, and you will be able to display the characters without further problem.

Chinese Character

I am a new user of Blackberry 8300, actually the handheld was a gift from my colleague which she
bought in Europe, I have chosen the mobile/internet service from Hutchison 3 company for both
mobile phone and e-mail connection, everything is working properly except the e-mail description
cannot be displayed or shown in Chinese Character, I've been seeking for the help of the Hutchison
people as well as download the relevant softwear, follow the guideline of the installation process, the
situation remained the same, the Chinese Character still displayed in black square dots.
The question is, if the hand held was not from the local dealer, it cannot be changed to Chinese language?
Second is, where can I find the software installation or hand held modification for Chinese version.
Third, I found the new Blackberry 3G hend held on some websites and magazines, when you are going to
launch theses models?
Thanks!

How do we get Chinese keyboard support in Lion

How do we get Chinese character support in Lion using American keyboard?

As with any other language, you go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the boxes for the languages you want, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menubar. Then you select the language you want from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type away. There is Help available right on the machine plus a whole website here:

[SOLVED]Getting Conky to display Chinese

How do I get my conky to display Chinese? I have some Chinese songs and the mpd thing in conky just shows the artist's names as boxes. I have scim pinyin installed, by the way.
Also, on pypanel, it won't display the chinese fonts as well, though it displays the words correctly on the sonata program and title itself.

Acrobat Reader cannot display Traditional Chinese Character correctly in 64 bit Windows 7

Hi,
I get a pdf file cannot display chinese character properly in Windows 7 64 bit but Windows XP 32 bit. I did uninstall and re-install Reader 9.4.3 and 10.0.1 with and without Traditional Fonts patch in the 64 bit machine but no luck. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

I run Acrobat 9.3.3 on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system with no problems. Perhaps you should make sure you have all of Acrobat 9's maintenance installed.

Some of Chinese character is not displaying correctly in PDF output

Hi all
I'm involved in the 1st Peoplesoft project in Korea and having a difficulty with displaying Chinese character in PDF output.
Usually Koreans can translate their name in Chinese and that Chinese name is displayed in personal information in their company as well as Korean name.
With Oracle BI Publisher I made rtf template that includes employees' Chinese name and tried to export to PDF output.
Most of Chinese character was fine but '李' character that was ok in HTM output was crashed in PDF output.
So I researched and tested some solutions.
Here's what I did.
I downloaded and installed five fonts(ALBANWTS.ttf, ALBANWTT.ttf, ALBANWT.ttf, ALBANWTK.ttf, ALBANWTJ.ttf) in client machine(c:\windows\fonts\) and did mapping job with xdo.cfg configuration file.
After that I previewed PDF output in the rtf template and checked embeded fonts in the PDF file.
I can see the newly installed font was embeded but still '李' character is crashed.
My problem is little bit different from others becuase only one Chinese character is crashed by for now.
The Chinese character '李' is very common last name in Korea and I believe Simplified Chinese character font have in it.
Please let me know if you have any solutions or experiance.
Thanks and best regards
Kwangbock.

Hi James
Oh~ It perfectly works!!
I've been tried to solve this problem for a long time and
I really appreciate for your help~

Cannot display Chinese Character in ver 10.1.3

Hello,
I would like to ask one more question, when i run my program, it contain two jsp pages,
the first one is to ask the user to input some chinese character, then the second one is to display the input data in the second page. I found out that the second one cannot display the input chinese character, but other chinese character in the second one can be display.
Some of my code in the second one are as follow:
String firstName = request.getParameter("firstName");
中文 <%=firstName%>
The result are displayed are displayed as follow:
中文 ?T???\!
It seems to me that the text can display but the variable cannot display, does any one know the reason?
One of the replies from the JDeveloper forum are as follow:
I seem to recall there was a bug in the 10.1.3 OC4J with passing parameters on the URL in other languages. You might want to ask on the OC4J forum:

How can I display Chinese Character correctly in JSP

Dear Expert,Now I develop web application which using CR report, the development tool is IBM RAD(rational) and the database is DB2 UTF-8. Because need user to input something in JSP, so the programmer use "GB2312" to convert to insert into the database. But when I create the crystal report and view in the web, the Chinese character can't disply correctly, like "???????", even I formated the font in report, doesn't work too.And I set the report JSP charset to "GB2312" or "UTF-8", both of them failed. Following is my JSP seting:<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%%>or <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=GB2312" pageEncoding="GB2312"%%>And I think I must convert the data from database site firstly, then display, but I don't know where I can coding it and how to coding? Could any one tell me how to get it? I use RAD(Rational) as development tools.Thanks so much for your any comments. Many thanks!Steven

Hi Steven, It sounds like you are on the right track to get the Chinese data to appear up correctly in the report. Can you tell me if you are using the JSF viewer or the JSP viewer?From what the developers are telling me the following should work:For JSP viewers to set content type correctly you can either use <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %> Or response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8âu20AC) or simply call viewer.setOwnPage(true); if it not necessary to blend with other pages. For JSF viewer the third option is not available.What does your JSP page code look like? Also, what does the output look like?Finally, one last thing is to ensure that the font you are using in the report is available to the engine at runtime. This will mean that it wll need to be installed on the application server where your JSP page is running. Give this a try and let me know what you find.
