Special character and symbol shortcuts

I am constantly needing to use special characters, but I can't find an easy way to use them. There are three that I use specifically, Section, Pi, and Delta.
How do I make shortcuts for these and why is it so difficult to find out? This is a common task in any other word processing program.

pakalolo421,
for any symbols that you can't do with an option + ... shortcut, you should use the system-wide character palette. I'm a teacher, and use the character palette to put checkmarks in my student's essays. But there's every conceivable symbol in there, and the best is that you can minimize it to a very small window containing your favorites, which you keep open next to (or above) any open Pages window.
The character palette can be invoked from the Input menu, which you can put into your Apple menu bar from System Preferences -> International.

I have several fonts with special glyphs and symbols- how do I access these under text?

In word I am able to go to "insert symbol" and look at the character map to pick what I'd like to use (beyond what's available as a letter on the keyboard) without the alt-shortcut how can I use these glyphs and symbols?

Unfortunately PSE isn't very good with unicode fonts, and you're pretty much limited to the basic 256 character set. If it's a special symbol font (and a true type or equivalent font), you may be able to use the symbols, but you'll need to find the keyboard stroke to create it. PSE doesn't have the same text capabilities that full photoshop has.

Special character and htp.p()

I am trying to use PL/SQL procedure to present my customized item.
If user type in secial character, e.g. single quote ', in the attribute, I got this error on the page:
Error 30584: DBMS_SQL has raised an unhandled exception. ORA-06550: line 1, column 327: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "03" when expecting one of the following: . ( ) , * @ % & = - + < / > at in is mod not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like between ||
Is there a procedure I can call to encode the special character?
thanks

Hi - thanks very much the reply. I will bear your suggestions in mind in future as they are very useful.
I got around the problem I was having by doing the following:
The line of JavaScript I wanted to output to the page was:
document.write('<img src=" '+ns_l+' " width="1" height="1" alt="*" />');}
And I achieved this by using the following PL/SQL:
htp.p('document.write('||'''<img src="'''||'+ns_l+'||'''" width="1" height="1" alt="*" />'''||');}');

How do I get Special character Euro symbol € to display ?

Hi,
How do I get the euro symbol € to display in Flash from
PHP file created in DW ?. It does not display it properly. I have
simplified the PHP code I have is:
<?php
$msgtoflash = "This is the Euro Symbol &#8364";
print ("&Databaseinfo=$msgtoflash");
?>
The &#8364 is a special character code for HTML.
If I use the $ or £ symbols it works perfectly but not
€ ?
Thanks,
Paul

The way to get the euro symbol to display in Flash is to use
XML. I have
tested this, and it works:
euro.php
<?php
header('Content-type: text/xml');
echo '<root>
<elem>This is the euro symbol:
€</elem>
</root>';
?>
ActionScript 2.0 to display the value of <elem> in a
dynamic text field
called myText:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = handleLoad;
myXML.load('
http://localhost/test/euro.php');
function handleLoad(success) {
if (success) {
var theRoot:XMLNode = this.firstChild;
myText.text = theRoot.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
} else {
myText.text = 'Not working :(';
Handling XML in ActionScript 2.0 is like poking needles in
your eyes,
but it's the only way I have been able to get the euro symbol
from an
external source into a Flash movie.

Danish character and Symbol are not displaying in crystal report 2008

I am developing a crystal report. The report displays data from database. The data is entered into database from a asp.net web form where a JavaScript Editor is used. Mainly data is saved in Danish character and also there are some emotion symbol. The web page is showing these data reading from database perfectly. But the Crystal Report is missing some Danish character as well as emotion symbol in some cases. The screen print both for web page and crystal report is shown bellow. The database field DataType is “CLOB” and using Crystal Report 2008.
Can anyone help me to get rid of this situation.
Thanks to you all.

Special character trademark symbol

hi,
Please suggest as to how we can handle 'Trademark' symbol in SAP uploads.
I have idea about RSKC ...I need further advice.
what is the hex value for 'trademark ' symbol ??
Point and praises waiting for all....

Hi,
Here are the values for trademark(TM) symbol:
ASCII hex       0099 -
ASCII decimal - 153    -
Unicode hex   2122 -
But please tell me how you can upload this values in SAP?
I am assuming that after uploading this in SAP, if we copy and paste trademark(TM) symbol from word to SAP, it will get recognised. Currently I am finding that after copy and paste it is getting converted to '#' character.
Please help.

Special Character And Extra Spaces

Hi All,
This may be a simple problem to fix (i hope) but my searching
has found nothing.
When i publish documents from word to contribute i get extra
gibberish in the place of extra spaces and special characters like
dash(–).
extra space = Â
dash = â€“
Hopefully theres a setting i'm missing that will fix the
problem.
I am working with big documents that contain garphics so
exporting to txt format isn't an option.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers
David

After further experimentation and a close fix i have found
the the pages look fine with a html extension but contain the
gibberish when they have a cfm extension.
Obviously when the files go through the coldfusion server
something happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Orchestration exception:Exception occurred when persisting state to the database because of special character ' ' in HL7 message.

In some scenarios HL7 message is coming with special character ‘’ and HL7 dis-assembler escaping this character with “”. But while sending out (pass thru pipeline but orchestration trying to persist here at last sendshape.) from orchestration
this message failing with the error “Exception occurred when persisting state to the database.”
As per the analysis , Orchestration is unable to convert to xml document from a
XLANGMessage because of this special character. We have tried to call custom .net class with following code and its failing here as well (I think orchestration also trying to do same way and failing with the message and failing with same error.).
public void ProcessRequest(XLANGMessage reqMessage)
XmlDocument xmlDocument = (XmlDocument)reqMessage[0].RetrieveAs(typeof(XmlDocument)); It is failing here with the error
“ ', hexadecimal value 0x10, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1865. “
Note : Please find the special character in the attachment circled in red color.

Need to prevent special character in generated XML file

Hello,
I am using E-business Suite 12.1.3 and XML version 5.6.3.
My XML file is ending up with a special character (a Latin capital letter U with circumflex) at the end, after the final closing tag.
Due to this the concurrent program that needs to output the XML is ending with warning.
My XML file is produced using a PL/SQL procedure, as follows (I've simplified it):
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<DOCS>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<LETTER>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<EMP_NAME>Michaela Hart</EMP_NAME>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</LETTER>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</DOCS>');
But when I run the concurrent request that creates the output then try to view the output in Internet Explorer I get the following error:
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://servername.domain...
</DOCS>
If I view the source of the page in Internet Explorer it shows a square after </DOCS> indicating the special character that has been added.
I checked this by looking at the output file in unix (cat -v o7766582.req) and it showed up the Latin U character.
I realise it could be to do with the character set I am using. I checked what we had on the server:
> echo $NLS_LANG
American_America.UTF8
I would have thought that corresponded with the XML declaration character set but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any other ideas about why I have this special character, and how it could be removed?
Thanks in advance,
Hazel

Hi AlexAnd,
thanks very much for your reply.
I'm now unable to recreate the problem since dbms_xmlgen worked. If I switch back to my previous method it works fine!
I'm not sure your suggestion would help, as there were no special characters in the data, the special character was added after the last tag I output. I hard coded the data (as in my example) for testing purposes so there was no SQL in use and the special character was still added at the end of the XML output. But I will definitely give it a try if I get the problem again.
I had the idea that maybe I should have been using FND_FILE.PUT rather than FND_FILE.PUT_LINE but now the error is gone I can't tell if that would have solved the problem either.
I appreciate your input.
Regards
Hazel

Special character in interactive report using filter

Hi,
I created an interactive report and in this report there is a filter to search any row from specific value linked to a specific column.
As example this report displays a board with some columns like "SR number", "Status", "Description", ....
If I use this filter with standard character all works fine :
- in the filter's list of values I choose "Region" column
- in the search field I put "SE"
- click on go and the board is generated with all correct rows.
If I use this filter with special character (french character in my case), this filter changes this special character and the request doesn't return any row.
Example :
- in the filter's list of values I choose "Statut" column
- in the search field I put "Réception"
- the filter's expression is modified from "Réception" to "RÃ©ception" so no row is returned (filter - Statut contains 'RÃ©ception' - no data found)
I modified the character set used by the apex DAD changing the nls_lang parameter in the wdbsvr.app file from AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (database character set) to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
But when I check the apex DAD character set after the web server restart (about Application Express in my workspace) I get :
NLS_CHARACTERSET: WE8ISO8859P1
DAD CHARACTERSET: ISO-8859-1
No change.
I used the Application Express 3.2.0.00.27 with Oracle E-business Suite (11.5.10.2).
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Olivier

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
But I already installed french language on apex.
Unfortunately issue occurs yet.
To install the french language I followed these steps :
- I set the NLS_LANG to American_America.AL32UTF8
- sqlplus sys/**** as sysdba
- ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = APEX_030200;
- and I executed the load_fr.sql script
Thank you for your help.

Special character in XML causing the file to hit worng folder.

I am facing program, while sending a data to a repository using SOAP XML. The file path which is needed has a special character and this is not getting identified at the target.
here is the brief descriptio.
1) We generate the PDF using the XML report in ERP.
2) Using the same data, we generate SOAP XML file and send to a respoitory.
3) Here using this SOAP XML, the PDF is generated and stored in a location which is sent in the file.
we are sending the target path as "PO's from Customer" as below:
'<target_folder_path>'||'/Documents/'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY')||'/PO's from Customer'||'</target_folder_path>';
The path needed is '/Documents/2012/PO's from Customer' , but due the apostrophe, the file is hit /adadmin path.
I have tried replcaing the special character by ' , but still no luck. If i remove the special characters, then the file is hitting correct path.
But the requirement is to have '/Documents/2012/PO's from Customer' .
Is there is a way this can be achived. Please advice.

Is it as simple as using two single quotes between PO and s?
'/PO''s from Customer'I can't tell from what you wrote how you are generating the value in the first place so if not correct provide more details related to whatever builds the path.

Load special character £ in node name

I am importing the hierarchies with special character £ and once imported it shows as following before the node name:
small square box in place of £ with UTF8 as character encoding while importing and
? mark in place of £ with ASCII or ANSI as character encoding while importing.
Please let me know how to get the £ in the node name.
Thanks,

Got it,
Save the text file itself in UTF format and then import with UTF8 encoding in DRM.

How to check for black rectangle special character

hi ,
i have a field that contains the black rectangle special character and when i copy it to the pl/sql's screen it's showing the square bracket. -->
however when i saved the view it turns from to . and this has disrupted my check as follows
field1 = '2AAC1234.11some-other-words'
substring(field1 , instr(field1 , '')) -- i am expecting it to return 2AAC1234.11
instead it returns me 2AAC1234 because the has turned in "." once i save the query. pls advise
tks & rgds

Get the ascii values for using ASCII function.
SELECT ASCII('') FROM DUAL;--
and then INSTR function use CHR fucntion with the ASCII value you get fron above query.
SELECT CHR(n) FROM DUAL; it will return ''
here n is the ascii value for ''
