Spanish extended characters

We have installed Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 on Solaris 8. We have noticed something peculiar. The uid attribute which is a part of the dn (uid=jsmith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org) is not accepting spanish characters (PE�A0783), but the attributes like cn and sn are accepting spanish characters.
Is there something we have missed during installation. Can someone please help.
Thanks.

Probably you need to set your LANG OS especific environment variable to spanish.
Try adding this line:
export LANG=es_ES
to your tomcat/bin/catalina.sh, and restart tomcat.
It should look like this:
# OS specific support. $var _must_ be set to either true or false.
cygwin=false
case "`uname`" in
CYGWIN*) cygwin=true;;
esac
export LANG=es_ES
# resolve links - $0 may be a softlink
PRG="$0"
.(BTW, keep using ISO-8859-1 encoding for your XSL)
HTH
Un Saludo!

Mail with French / Spanish accented characters appear as Question marks

Hi
I am facing issues in mails that have French / Spanish accented characters in mail subject.Accented characters appear as Question marks (?) when received in the inbox.Mail subject is read from properties file.
Please let me know the following
- Should I have the entries in properties file in Unicode ? For example French accent character � is represented as á
- Should I replace msg.setSubject(subject); to msg.setSubject(subject,"UTF-8");
Please suggest.
Below is code snippet :
     Session session = getSession();
               // create a message
               Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
               // set the from and to address
               InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
               InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
               for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
                    addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
               msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
               msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
               msg.setSentDate(new Date());
*               msg.setSubject(subject);*
               MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("related");

String subject = "\u00C 9tat de l'inscription en ligne";You need 4 hex digits after \u. You only included 3.
mailSubject = new String(subject.getBytes(), "UTF-8");
message.setSubject(MimeUtility.encodeText(mailSubject,"UTF-8", "B"), "UTF-8");Remove the above two lines. You're trying to make
this much too hard. All you need is:
message.setSubject(subject, "utf-8");
Should I use ISO8859_1 as Charset or UTF-8 ?I think the characters you're included are
representable in iso-8859-1 so you can use
that.
I am using Outlook express as my mail client. Do we have to decode it ?No.

Working with Extended Characters

I have CS3 on XP SP2
In InDesign, both upper and lower case Pi show up amongst the other letters of the Greek Alphabet in fonts with extended character sets (Times or Arial). However, in Illustrator, the lower case pi is missing... it goes straight from omnicron to rho, skipping pi. I searched and finally found pi clustered with a select few "math" Greek symbols like sigma and mu. InDesign has glyph sorting options, but apparently not Illustrator. Is it possible to sort the glyphs by unicode in Illustrator to make it easier to locate certain characters?
Also, the lower case pi I found in Illustrator had no unicode and it is not rendered in many of the fonts that do in fact contain a lower case pi, under Unicode U+03C0.
Another related annoyance is that when I create a line of text (say in Times New Roman), I sometimes like to highlight the text and rapidly step through the fonts with the up and down arrows until I find one I like. This works fine in In-design and will show pink squares wherever a glyph is not supported by a font, but in Illustrator if the selected text contains certain extended characters, when I step to the next font in the list, the results can be unpredictable.

In Illustrator CS3, I found that both Arial and Times New Roman have TWO lowercase pi characters in the glyphs panel. The first one, in the math chars near the top of the glyphs panel, says "No Unicode". The second one is lower down in the glyphs panel, after the Greek, after the Cyrillic, and before the Hebrew. It has the expected Unicode value U+03C0. I'm guessing this second pi with a Unicode value probably works better when changing to other fonts.

Java app is writing question marks instead of extended characters

People,
since I've installed an Sun E3000 with Solaris9 I'm having problems with accents (extended characters) in my java application: - it writes question marks instead of accents.
This machine used to be Solaris 2.6 and we formatted/installed Solaris9 and got the problem since then.
My application uses a thin driver to connect to Oracle9i database, and via unix I can call sqlplus and insert chr(199) and SELECT it (�) with no problems, but application writes ? in nohup.out.
If you can point me in any direction, please let me know.
Regards, Orlando.

I'm pretty sure that the default locale "C" corresponds to the 7-bit US-ASCII character set. Again, this is all the methaphorical shot in the dark, but it's the only time that I've seen this happen. Sun's own documentation says to use something other than C or US ASCII if international or special characters will be needed.
Here is my /etc/default/init for ISO 8859-15.
TZ=US/Eastern
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-15
If the system that you're using can be rebooted, try changing the /etc/default/init file to something like the above, but with the specific for your locale. Obviously, en_US is not your area, but I have no idea what Brazil's would be.

How to input extended characters in textfields.

Hi,
I wanted to know how java handles extended characters such as alt130 , alt137 etc... in textfields. Is the only way to input these by alt-codes or is there another way?
Much thanks,
Hugo Hendriks

See this site for full info on Chinese input:

There is no need for a special keyboard for any kind of input.

Hi,
On your install, have a look at:

Make sure you back up the original file, just in case.

Entering extended characters?

As a recentish switcher I'm completely stumped by how I can enter extended characters. I need to enter the character code 0239 to get a special character in a font I'm using. On a PC I'd simply type 0239 on the numeric pad while holding down the Alt key. But that doesn't work on the Mac.
Any help much appreciated. GeoffT.

Most apps have an item in the "Edit" menu called "Special Characters..." which brings up a palette with just about every conceivable character set you could want. That should do the trick, unless the app is so old that it doesn't enable this system-level item. Assuming it works, once you've found the character you want, just click the "Insert" button in the lower-right of the palette to insert it into the active text field.
Here's Apple's description of the same feature:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8164.html
There are also many longstanding tricks to enter the more common special characters such as curly quotes, emdashes, and accented characters. Here's a very old but still valid cheat sheet:

JTidy with extended characters?

Hi all,
I've been using JTidy to tidy up html to valid xml, and it works fine, except when I have extended characters in the HTML.
Has anybody else come across this problem? Is there any solution? JTidy doesn't look like its had any releases since 2001. Is there any other active projects that do the same thing?
thanks,
Justin

Just looking at the input, and all extended characters are entities.
So the input is:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
ýÿăĈ
</body>
</html>and the output is:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
��[][]
</body>
</html>where the "[]" characters represent a box. I.e. a character System.out.println can't render.
If I look at the integer value of them, they are 3 & 8.
So I guess I'm trying to turn off the entity replacement in the JTidy. Is this possible?
thanks,
Justin

Error with extended characters

hi i have a problem with extended characters and it only happens when i have an attachment with the mail
MimeBodyPart bp = new MimeBodyPart();
String content = "� � � � � � � � � � � � �� ";
bp.setContent( content, "text/plain; charset=UTF-8" );
mp.addBodyPart( bp );
//code for adding a attachment is added to the mp using MimeBodyPart
msg.setContent( mp ); // add Multipart
msg.saveChanges(); // generate appropriate headers
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
msg.writeTo( baos );msg is a MimeMessage.
Now this msg is stored in a cache and later retrieved using
String s = "";
            java.lang.Object o = msg.getContent();
            if ( o instanceof String )
                s = (String) o;
            else if ( o instanceof Multipart )
                try
                    Multipart mp = (Multipart) o;
                    MimeBodyPart bp = (MimeBodyPart) mp.getBodyPart( 0 );
                    s = (String) bp.getContent();
                catch ( Exception e )
                    cLog.error(e.getMessage(),e);
            }now s contains "� ��  � � � � � � � � � � �� " which is wrong.
This has been bugging me for a couple of days now.
could anyone please give a solution.
Many Thanks in advance

Using these literal non-ASCII characters in the string constant might
look great in your editor but might not be giving the correct Unicode
values. Try replacing the special characters with Unicode escapes
(\u####).
If that doesn't work, step through the original string and print out
each character as an integer. Then do the same for the string you
fetch from the message. Compare the integer values. If they're
not the same, post the details. If they are the same, the problem
is most likely in how you're displaying the characters you read
from the message.

Extended characters

I previously used Dreamweaver 4 without CSS and then moved onto Dreamweaver 8, again without CSS. I am trialing Dreaweaver CS5 and have updated my site content to <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> from just <HTML>
Extended characters such as e acute which used to appear correctly in earlier versions of Dreamweaver, although they appear correctly in Dreamweaver Live View now appear rather differently in Internet Explorer 8 e.g an e acute appears as A with a tilda followed by a copyright symbol. How can I correct this please?

Thanks John,
Since reading your message I discovered that the error occured only where I had copied text with extended characters from another website and pasted it into mine.
Best wishes,

Extended characters not getting through VM properly in JDK1.4 versions

This is on WIndows platform with regular US keyboard.
When you type "ALT+0252" (it is �) from your regular (English) keyboard using it's numeric keypad, somewhere in the VM there is translation happening that is converting the numeric value of 252 to 242 and there by displaying the character mapped to ALT+0242 (which is �).
Similarly, every other extended character is getting translated somewhere thereby displaying the wrong character.
The way to look at Character Map on Windows platform is Start|Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Character Map.
Best way to compare what is getting through VM is by running
regular Notepad (Start | Programs | Accessories | Notepad) and typing
above character and then running the Notepad that comes with J2SDK install (java -JAR JDKInstallDir\demo\jfc\Notepad\Notepad.jar) and typing the same character.
You will notice that the regular Notepad displays � when you type ALT+0252 but the java Notepad displays � when you type the same ALT+0252 character.

Here is the sample code. You can first run it in jdk1.3 environment and enter the extended characters in the textfield. You will notice that they get rendered correctly (such as ALT+0252 gets rendered as �)
Then try running the same applet in jdk1.4 environment and enter the same extended characters in the textfield and you will notice the difference. ALT+0252 will now get rendered as � which is not correct.
JComponent class in JDK1.4 seems to be translating the string some how before rendering it.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions on this weird behavior in JDK1.4. Thanks.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class DemoApplet extends JApplet
public JTextField jtf = new JTextField ("Testing");
public String text = "";
public void init()
jtf.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
text = ((JTextField)e.getSource()).getText();
try {
System.out.println ("numeric value of text is : " + (int)(text.charAt (0)));

Extended Characters not showing up in DM Studio text.

Hello,
For some reason when I'm entering text into DM Studio (text area, label, etc) and my text contains a special character (® or ©, for instance), it shows up as a small box, indicating it can't represent that character. It used to show up just fine, with the only change I'm aware of being that the profile on my computer was corrupted a week or two ago, and a new one created and minimal profile attributes from the backup were restored. I'm working with a font that in any other application has no problem displaying these extended ASCII characters. Does anybody know why they all of the sudden aren't working?

Hi Gregg,
Can you check if your Codepage.ini is corrupted which comes as a part of installation in this particular folder \FAP\mstrres\fmres\deflib as it has something like below for every character which we use in documaker
<CODEPAGE>
Char = SP010000, space, , 32, 32, 32, 32, 64, 64, 64, 64, 32, 32
Char = SP020000, exclam, , 33, 33, 33, 33, 90, 90, 79, 79, 0, 0
Char = SP040000, quotedbl, , 34, 34, 34, 34,127,127,127,127, 0, 0
Char = SM010000, numbersign, , 35, 35, 35, 35,123,123,123,123, 0, 0
Char = SC030000, dollar, , 36, 36, 36, 36, 91, 91, 91, 91, 0, 0
Char = SM020000, percent, , 37, 37, 37, 37,108,108,108,108, 0, 0
Char = SM030000, ampersand, , 38, 38, 38, 38, 80, 80, 80, 80, 0, 0
Char = SP050000, quotesingle, , 39, 39, 39, 39,125,125,125,125, 0, 0
Hope it helps

Spanish accent characters are not displayed proper in excel file

Hi
I have written a program which displays one report file (.xls file ) on the browser.
This report file is in spanish language and contains few accent characters like
("� � � � � � �"). These characters are not displyed properly in that excel file which is opened in the browser. I have used utf-8 encoding method. I tried with some other encoding methods available. But still this problem continues.
Kindly provide me help as soon as possible.
Thanks and
Regards,
Deval

File is generated through a java bean at runtime and it is not stored pgysically.
If I copy these characters from somewhere to new xls file then it will be displayed properly.
Sample code which is used for setting headers is as below:
     protected void setContentType (
          HttpServletResponse     p_response
     ,     InstanceData          p_instancedata
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
          p_response.setHeader (
               "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="
          +      p_instancedata.userId
          +      "_"
          +      System.currentTimeMillis ()
          +     ".csv"
          System.out.println("Content generator = ");
          p_response.setHeader("charset","utf-8");
          p_response.setContentType (EXCEL_CONTENT_TYPE);
For generating this xls file, format of data is XML. Means both request and response data will be in XML format.
Hope this information help in suggesting any solution for this problem.
Regards,
Deval

Entering Spanish Language Characters

Hi,
I'm working on a Spanish language site. I do not speak spanish. There is a ton of copy that was scanned in and most of the diacriticals are wrong or missing. Is there a menu I can bring up that will quickly show me the spanish characters I need? I did a quick search and there was much talk about installing a spanish language -keyboard- in Windows. But isn't there a way to show the code #s for these chars without doing that?
TIA,
---JC

The text options in the insert panel, for instance. You can also use copy&paste from Windows' Charmap utility...
