Some characters not displaying :/

I have a text box in wich I import an external txt file.
Everything seemed to be working fine including url encoding
things like &, @, % etc.
But when I want to use something like an ö, ï,
é or something like that the character turns up as a diamond
with a '?' in it :/
In particular I need the ë atm wich should be coded as
%EB but you guessed it, it doesn't show.
I've tried a few different encodings but all with the same
(Or worse^^) result.
Anyone any idea of what's going on?

I'm sorry to say I don't have an answer to your question but
I do have a
question for you. I am having difficulty getting an ampersand
to display
correctly. I have used the html "&" but that doesn't
work. Since you
have it listed as one of the characters that you have
successfully encoded,
would you mind please telling me how you did it. I tried
embedding the
glyphs but it broke my txt file.
Thanks in advance.

Problems with Turkish characters not displaying correctly

A user is having problems with certain Turkish characters in particular fonts not displaying correctly (as shown below).
The two fonts (Gill Sans and Helvetica LT CondensedLight) are used for English language marketing material. Ideally, for continuity, the same font would be preferred for our Turkish language marketing material rather than changing it to a similar font.
Helvetica LT CondensedLight
Turkish character “ İ ” does not display correctly in either Word or InDesign.
Gill Sans
Turkish characters “ ş ” and “ ğ ” display correctly in Word but not InDesign.
My questions are:
1. For Gill Sans, why are the characters not displaying in InDesign but are in Word?
2. I've noticed here: http://www.webtype.com/font/gill-sans-family/#glyphs-tab that the required characters are available within the Gill Sans font. Is this because the font is newer and includes the additional characters? Would this work in InDesign?

One of the big differences between InDesign and Word is that Word will happily substitute glyphs without telling you. So, unless your installs of Word and of InDesign are using different versions of Gill Sans (which is possible, BTW) then your s-with-cedilla and your g-with-macron are actually not in Gill Sans but in some other font. I'm guessing Arial.
It's possible that you have more than one Gill Sans installed (e.g. one in your Document Fonts folder and another in your system fonts folder) that have different glyph complements. Gill Sans has been around a long time, and the version I have from the 90s has no Turkish support whatsoever.
As far as the capital-I-with-dot, you can check your glyph coverage in a variety of ways. In both InDesign and Word, you can open up a window that shows you all of the glyphs in a font. In InDesign, find it in Type -> Glyphs. In Word, it's called "Insert Symbol" and you can find it in Word 2010 by going to Insert -> Symbol -> More Symbols. I am guessing that the answer to this question is simply that your cut of Helvetica LT has no cap-I-with-dot. You'd need to pick a font that actually has support for Turkish. On WIndows, I use a very full-featured freebie called BabelMap to check font coverage. They have a Web version here:
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/babelmap.html
but I personally prefer the downloadable .exe file.

Chinese and Korean characters not displaying in navigation pane

I have an issue with Chinese and Korean characters not displaying on the tabs in the navigation pane:
I have 2 RoboHelp projects (using RoboHelp 8 with the updates installed) to generate WebHelp, one in Simplified Chinese, the other Korean. The HTML files, .HHC and .HHK were sent out for translations. I have set the appropriate language in the project settings, everything almost works, except for the text on the Contents, Index, and Search tabs. (I'm not using a skin.) I have read in various threads that the lng file should be edited using the RoboHelp interface, and this seems to be the crux of the problem. The characters do not display correctly through the RoboHelp UI.
The computer on which I generate the WebHelp is Windows Server 2003, and I do not have the language packs installed. (And am having problems getting hold of the language packs to install to see if this fixes the problem.)
Aside from installing the language packs, is there anything else I can try to help resolve the problem? (The characters in the content are displaying as expected.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Perhaps something in the Translation Info section of this page might help? (The specifics are for Japanese, but I believe the issue would apply to all double-byte languages).

Major Problem - some pages not displaying correctly

All,
I have a problem with some pages not displaying correctly i.e.
SE80 navigation page
F1 help
I am using XP sp2 and we have the latest version of internet explorer 7 (which I cannot uninstall as it is company policy)
SAP version is 6.4c.
I am using SAP Gui 7.10 with the latest patch 710_7.
This is making the system completely unusable for me.
I have read a few forum posts mentioning that upgrading to the latest patch version will resolve this problem, but this clearly has not worked for me.
Can someone please help, how do I actually esculate this to SAP?
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
thanks
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 8, 2008 4:07 PM

what kind of useless answer was that? If you have no constructive comments to add please refrain.
I am a SAP developer in ABAP and its related to SE80 which I used to use primarily for editing code (i now have to use se38).
I often use F1 for hints on code etc to use and syntax so it does make it very difficult for me. If there is a more appropriate forum for this please direct me, instead of posting in gibberish english.
Max - I assume you have the same problem and it is also not resolved by the latest patch. I wonder is there a way this can be esculated with SAP?

The pdf chinese characters not display (11G WLS_PERORTS)

My Database:TRADITIONAL CHINESE_TAIWAN.AL32UTF8
Environment:xp
According to:http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24479/pbr_pdf002.htm#BABCCEAB

But the pdf chinese characters not display,Why??
http://ppt.cc/h-Tx

kindly, make sure that you add the font path into your FORMS_PATH in regestery (if you are using windows) also put your font mapping ubder [ PDF:Subset ]
for example:
[ PDF:Subset ]
times = "Barcd39.ttf"
Arial..italic.Bold.. = "arialbi.ttf"
Arial..italic... = "ariali.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "arialbd.ttf"
Arial = "arial.ttf"
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"Arabic Transparent"="artro.ttf"

Foreign characters not displaying

Hi... I am developing a web app that includes a database of world cities, many of which have foreign characters in their names. The MySQL database is displaying the characters correctly, but when it comes to displaying them in drop down menus, the foreign characters are displayed as blank boxes.
The application is a J2EE Java app.
In the index.jsp file, in the html section, I have specified various types of character sets, including the standard iso-8859-1 and utf-8, but none make a difference.
The home page with the drop-down menus is at www.your-astrology-report.com/index.jsp. From the pull-down menus, select "International", then "Greece", then "NON-ENGLISH FIRST LETTERS" and you'll see what I mean.
The database code that puts the city names into the drop down menu is as follows, although as a fragment, it's incomplete.
try{
     out.print("<select name='city'>");
     out.println("<option value='0'>Select Birth Town - Check Region!</option>");
     if(letter.equals("?")){
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city NOT RLIKE '^[A-Z]' order by city";
     } else {
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city LIKE '"+letter+"%' order by city";//city begins with letter
     ResultSet rst=execute_sql_query(q);
     int count=0;
     while(rst.next()){
          out.println("<option value='"+count+"'>"+rst.getString("city")+" - "+rst.getString("subdiv")+" "+SubDiv+"</option>");
          count++;
     out.println("</select>");
I am very new to Java.
Is there some basic way of telling either the query and/or the out.print statement to get, preserve, and display these foreign characters correctly?
Please keep it simple! Like I said, I'm new to all this, and most of the Google queries I've made to try to figure this out have been gobble-de-gook to me! LOL!
Thanks,
Fartian

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. So far, I'm sorry to say, none of your suggestions have helped, though.
I suspect, though, that the reply concerning character streams (PaulClapham) holds the answer. I just don't know how to implement this in my case, i.e. how to apply this to the out.println statements in the previously given code block. My experience with Java is limited. Any ideas?
I should probably tell you how all this is structured in terms of one file calling another:
First we have the index.jsp (www.your-astrology-report.com/index.htm), which has dynamic input fields, the one in question being this:
<td colspan="2"><div id="cities"><select name="city"><option value="">Select City</option></select></div></td>
      <td colspan="2">Select First Letter of City First!</td>div id="cities" refers to a function in a second file, xmlhttp.jsp, which is called by the dynamic input field located just above the "cities" field.
Here is the function:
function handleCityU(regid_letter_country){
     document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML="Loading cities...";
     url="internal_requestU2.jsp?regid_letter_country="+regid_letter_country.value;
     var xmlhttp=myXMLHttpRequest();
     xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
     xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
          if(xmlhttp.readyState!=4)return;
          document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
     xmlhttp.send(null);
}This function passes the variable "regid_letter_country.value" to yet another file that then parses the variable, requests the required database data, and creates the out.println statements that then populate the dynamic pull-down menu that displays the cities in the original index.jsp file.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED IT TO BE DISPLAYING INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS. The code for this part is what I originally posted.
Help!
Many thanks...

German Special Characters not displayed correctly in RTF using code

Hi ,
In my code we are using webdynpro method
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
byte[] data, String resourceName,WDWebResourceType
Type)
Here in our code we are implementing this as
ITemplateElement templateEl = wdContext.currentTemplateElement();
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
templateEl.getReportData(),
reportName.substring(0, reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
WDWebResourceType.RTF); reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
Here templateEl.getReportData() returns a set of bytes which has some
german special characters.
We are generating the Bytes using String.getByes(),Just before
String text = new String(in);
collector.putBusinessObject(boName, bo);
reportDocTemplateParser(collector, text);
collector.removeBusinessObject(boName);
String generatedText = collector.generateRTF();
out = (null != generatedText) ? generatedText.getBytes() : null;
The out put is the if i am giving a word with german special characters for eg:
Betriebsübersichten it first gets converted to bytes and then passes through method WDResouseFactory.createResourse(.....) which creates an RTF file and finally in the RTF file it appears as Betriebsbbersichten the special character is not displayed correctly.
i came to knw that while converting into bytes we have to make it RTF supported encoding.ie for eg generatedText.getBytes('cp1252').i even tried with other charactersets like ISO-8859,cp1253 and so on but none of them worked.
It would be really great if you could suggest the needful.
Thanks and Regards
Neeta

I soved this by using get_data function of response object. Then converting this into ISO-8859-1 charset.
See code below.
DATA : lv_encoding   TYPE abap_encoding,
          lv_conv       TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
          lv_x_string   type xstring.
lv_x_string = pv_http_client->response->get_data( ).
    lv_encoding = '1100'.
    lv_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(
                          encoding = lv_encoding
                             input = lv_x_string ).
    lv_conv->read( IMPORTING data = pv_result ).

Utf8 characters not displayed correctly

I have a database created with collation of latin1_swedish_ci
which contains big5. I realise that I have to create the db using
utf8 in order to display correctly. However, due to the db was
created long ago, I could not change it. Is it possible to do a
conversion before the characters are displayed?
default charset of apache is utf-8
connection string is added
"useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8"

if the columns holding your text datatypes aren't unicode
capable, then you'll
never get the data out except the same way it went in.
depending on the db, datatypes, app server, it's a good bet
that the data's not
big5 but some corruption of it.

Characters not displayed correctly

Hi,
After support package installation, chararcters are not displayed correctly when i use application server,
for example when i write internal table into a file in text mode and read it after into attachment in binary mode
but characters are not correct. And after mail sent, the half or file is sent, not all data available.
What could be the reason?
Char exp in debug of attachment: ㅔ䠰㘹㌲〰㤰㘰㌍ਲ䙈〶㤳㈰〹
I get above char after i read the file, code like following:
do.
clear attch.
read dataset filename into attch.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
append attch.
exit.
endif.
append attch.
enddo.
Thanks.

I think this problem is some what related to Unicode and you should use Encoding statements whith ur open dataset stetement as follows.
open dataset ....................Encoding UTF-8.
Encoding UTF-8 is for unicode environment.
Hope this will help u.

Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc

Hi All,
I have typed in some Chinese Characters into a Print Layout Document.
I am able to print these documents with the Chinese characters. But I am not able to display these Chinese Characters when I click on PDF.
Please advise.
Rdgs
Jessie

Hi Gordon,
I have applied the various asian language service pack for the Adobe Reader.
However, i am still not able to see the Chinese Characters in the PDF document when click on the PDF at SAP B1's Toolbar.
Step 1 : Update a PLD with Chinese Characters (as text or from database field). Eg. AR Invoice.
Step 2 : Set the PLD as Default Layout.
Step 3 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on Preview. Chinese Character is able to be previewed and printed.
Convert to PLD.
Step 4 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on PDF button at the Toolbar. Preview the PDF document. No Chinese Characters are displayed.
Is it due to Localisation? Localisation = Singapore
Please advise.
Regards
Jessie

Strange fonts, and some fonts not displaying at all

Hiya
I've recently been having problems with Firefox not displaying text correctly - instead it comes up with some jumbled weird characters.
Here are a few things I've already tried:
* I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (I am currently on v3.6.10)
* I've tried and reinstalled all the default font families in my Control Panel > Fonts
Here are some screenshots of what I mean:
http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/4277/personalbuissnescardbus.png
In this one, there should be some text on the left hand side in the menu and also some useful text where the jumbled characters are near the bottom of the page.
[http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/331/9gagchangesofthebatsymb.png external link]
http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/331/9gagchangesofthebatsymb.png
In this one, there should be some text in the top header, on the right hand side and also in the comments in the whitespace at the bottom
Its been like this for a while now, but its now starting to irritate as its making it difficult to read some pages.
Hugely appreciate any help on this.
Thanks

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.<br />
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.<br />
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue

My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
And of course better; has someone solved this?

I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?

Thai characters not displaying correctly within App

Hi everyone,
I have a Adobe Flex Mobile app displays Thai text, however this is not displaying correctly. While developing the App on my Windows machine and testing using the Adobe Flash Builder mobile emulator, the font/characters look correct.
However when running the app on either the MAC Adobe Flash Builder emulator, the iPhone simulator or on an actual iPhone, the font/characters are incorrect.
First I thought that it was maybe an encoding issue (I am using locale properties files to replace text), so followed instructions at this website Flash Builder, Flex language bundles showing strange symbols. Not utf8 encoded.Sefol however this did not solve the issue.
Looking more closely at the text rendered, it looks as though all of the characters for each word are actually being rendered, but they are just being rendered in correctly. Where as if it was a encoding issue then it would be missing characters completely.
So if you look at the first character, in the correct version it is built up of 3 components. If you look at the second image, you can see that these three components are present but just not all appearing within one character.
Is this a font issue? or is it actually an encoding/rendering issue?
My code for testing this is just a simple label tag
<s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" />
Many thanks.

Ok so after doing a bit more of an investigation into the Font being the issue and not the encoding type, it seems as though if I use a specific font which I know has the Thai characters, then they are displayed correctly.
I have embedded the font into the App using the code:
[Embed(source="../assets/Kinnari.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", embedAsCFF="true", fontFamily="ThaiFont")]
private var ThaiFont:Class;
Then on my UI I have added the font:
<s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" fontFamily="ThaiFont" />
I was able to find this font at a Hawaiian Educational website! Thai fonts :: Thai Language Program, University of Hawai'i, Manoa
Thanks @tooMuchTrouble for your help.

Some images not displaying in some browsers

Hi,
I'm creating a newsletter in Dreamweaver using the design view.
The finished thing works perfectly in Internet Explorer but when I view it in Firefox or Safari certain images are not displaying. There's no red cross or sign at all of why they're missing. They do however show as attachments at the bottom of the email.
The code appears to be fine and all the images were uploaded in the same way, so can't think why some won't appear while others will. The only thing the missing images have in common is that they're all left aligned so the text wraps around them.
I've been trying to fix this for ages and tearing my hair out. Any help greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

Um, I can't seem to find it on the server, which can't be a good sign ) - :
Have no idea why it's not appearing where it should but if I can get a link to work I'll send it to you.
Thanks for your help
