Special Characters international character set viewing

Hi, I'm using iWeb under german language conditions and like to use the special characters of the international character set.If I enter these in iWeb it looks fine. When i publish it the viewing is not done correctly (using a third party web-server, not iCloud). Any suggestions to solve this issue?

You don't have to mention you use a 3 rd party webserver, since you cannot publish to iCloud in the first place.
Anyway, read this :

International Character Set Variable Assignment

I am fairly new to AppleScript, and would appreciate your help. I have an AppleScript that accepts numeric input from a user, e.g.:
display dialog "Please enter a number" default answer foo
if button returned of result is "OK" then
try
set interval to (text returned of result as string) as number
on error
display dialog "Whoops"
end try
This code works fine for EN-US users. However, for users with keyboards set to international character sets, the variable "interval" will not be defined. The problem is that these users are inputting in a character set that AppleScript is not recognizing as numeric, as far as I can tell.
I have been unable to find a solution for these international users, after much searching and trial.
I have tried the following:
- Casting as UTF8, e.g. "as «class utf8»"
- Casting as string, numeric, etc.
I would like to do this within AppleScript if possible (i.e. not use shell script). However, if shell script is necessary (e.g. iconv) that will be OK. Can anyone point me at a solution? Thank you in advance.

Two things... It sometimes helps to decompose complex statements into separate lines; break up the set interval ... line into one step that gets the text and and another that converts it to a number. Also, try using real rather than number. Number is intended as an abstract class, and applescript may be having a problem deciding whether to cast odd unicode to real or integer. A script with both changes looks like so:
set theResult to display dialog "Please enter a number" default answer foo
set interval to (text returned of theResult)
if button returned of theResult is "OK" then
          try
                    set interval to interval as real
          on error
                    display dialog "Whoops"
          end try
end if
Also (just to be sure) in your original script if you press a button other than "Ok" interval is never defined at all, so in your error block you either need to set interval to a default value or add a return command to exit the script.

Characters in character set

My 9i database character set is WE8DEC
Is there any documentation or a way where I can see all the characters supported by this character set ? I am more interested in special characters, as what is happening is that when we insert a specific special character(that cannot be typed by a keyboard), it is being inserted and stored as a different one.
Hence I am trying to find out what's there and the limitations
Thanks

insert into apxl_appl_xcptn_log (APXL_LOG_ID,APXL_SRVR_NM) values(12212,'a’a');
1 ROW INSERTED
select * from apxl_appl_xcptn_log where APXL_LOG_ID = '12212'
12212 a¿a
’ is not being inserted whereas ¿ is what is being inserted.
select ascii('’') from dual;
gives me
191
whereas
select chr(191) from dual ;
gives me
What can be done to insert ’ into the database ? (this is not the regular single-quote that you can find on the keyboard but something similar)

How to handle special characters in Stage web view with Load URL method?

Hi,
I have Latin special characters in my text. My HTML content contains the text as well as the image. If I use stage webview LoadString, images will not be displayed. But my latin characters are displayed correctly.
If I use LoadURL method, the images are displayed correctly but I have problem in displaying the latin special characters. How to solve this issue?

Don't pass data values in URLs. Whilst it is possible to escape values to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Create a surrogate primary key on the table that is an immutable discrete numeric identifier and only use this as a URL parameter. In target pages/regions, use this PK value to retrieve the required data from the table.

Oc4j and international character sets

Does anyone know if there is a problem in oc4j concerning international charactersets support?
My pages contain non-english characters and so i use utf-8 characterset. When the page is created by a servlet the characters are displayed correctly, but when it comes from a jsp this is not the case.
The problem is that the text is not displayed in utf-8 but in "western european (windows)" instead which is not the correct encoding. This does not happen in the servlet case above. Still if I change the borwser encoding setting
the information is displayed correctly. But I cannot do that for every page, they are to many...
If i try to instruct the page about the encoding the outcome is a real mess because no brwser characterset encoding configuration option seems to be suitable. I tried the following:
- the page directive: <%@page contentType=... pageEncoding...
- the request: request.setContentType
- oc4j configuration: default-charset configuration in the global-application.xml config file
- and the oracle extension <% serwriterEncoding(...) ; %>
all of the above had no result while servlets perform swell !
Am I missing something here?
Does any body knows something that I do not?
Does the jsp container mess with the encoding and sends to the browser incorrect page encoding?
Thank you in advance,
Joe

Regex for international character sets like [a-zA-Z] + �, Ł, �, etc.

Hi all!
Is there an internationalized equivalent for the pattern "[a-zA-Z]+" which would accept the French, German, Polish or other local characters like "Ł" or "�" or "�"?
It's a bad idea to add all of them to the standard regex like "[a-zA-Z��Ł��]+", since you never know what comes next.
I tried to use the "\\p{Alpha}+" to check the string "Łukasz", but the string didn't match. Is there any other possibility other than to exclude "=", ">", "+", "�", etc.?
Thanks for any help!
Lena

My application will get the UTF-8 encoded string and
has to ensure it represents a valid name.There is no such thing as a "utf-8 encoded string." In Java strings are internally encoded in one of the 16-bit tranformation formats but you don't need to know this most of the time.
The code you post works accidentally. It does not work in the general case. Just do what I said in my previous post.
Try this code for instance:System.out.println(Charset.forName("UTF-8").encode(">8<>")
.asCharBuffer().toString().matches("\\p{L}+"));It will print "true" because the resulting charbuffer does match the pattern even though the original string does not. To understand why this happens I recommend reading the API documentation of the relevant classes.

How does OBIEE render international character sets?

Hi.
Our OBIEE Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.5 application running on Linux x86 (64-bit) and a 11.2.0.2.0 database is using the AL32UTF8 Unicode character.
So our database will support languages such as Japanese, Spanish etc.
But how does OBIEE deal with these? How do the webpages know that the content is UTF8 also?
Thanks for any tips -

HOW can I enter text using Japanese character sets?

The "Text, Plates, Insets" section of the LOOKOUT(6.01) Help files states:
"Click the » button to the right of the Text field to expand the field for multiple line entries. You can enter text using international character sets such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese."
Can someone please explain HOW to do this? Note, I have NO problem inputting Hirigana, Katakana, and Kanji into MS WORD; the keyboard emulates the Japanese layout and characters (Romaji is default) and the IME works fine converting Romaji, and I can also select charcters directly from the IME Pad. I have tried several different fonts with success and am currently using MS UI Gothic.ttf as default. Again, everything is normal and working in a predictable manner within Word.
I cannot get these texts into Lookout. I can't cut/paste from HTML pages or from text editors, even though both display properly. Within Lookout with JP selected as language/keyboard, when trying to type directly into the text field, the IME CORRECTLY displays Hirigana until <enter> is pressed, at which point all text reverts to question marks (?? ???? ? ?????). If I use the IME Pad, it does pretty much the same. I managed to get the "Yen" symbol to display, though, if that's relevant. As I said, font selected (in text/plate font options) is MS UI Gothic with Japanese as the selected script. Oddly enough, at this point the "sample" window is showing me the exact Hirigana character I want displayed in Lookout, but it won't. I've also tried staying in English and copying unicode characters from the Windows Character Map. Same results (Yen sign works, Hirigana WON'T).
Help me!

JW_Tech,
Have you changed the regional setting to Japanese?

Polish character sets

Hi reader,
do you have a clue how to set character set or how to to switch between character sets? e.g. from cp1252 to 1250 and vice versa
I'd like to display polish characters within a swing GUI and do not know how to switch....
internationalization works fine (based upon Messages_iso.properties) but the character set does not switch to something fitting.
thx

Java-internal character set is UTF-16, there should be no need for "switching". Property files, however, are restricted to ISO-8859-1 and may use Unicode escape sequences (\uxxxx). Maybe you should check the contents of your property file.

Read in xml special characters

Hi,
I have PL/SQL block to read in a xml file from a URL. I manage to store it perfectly fine. The problem is that I have problems reading in special characters when selecting the view. Any help please? Here is my code:
DECLARE
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
myvalue blob;
myclob blob;
feedtype number;
BEGIN
Select id into feedtype
from feednames
where name = 'EA';
req := utl_http.begin_request('http://cput-ep ap04.work.com:8852/test/gne.xml');
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
LOOP
utl_http.read_line(resp, myvalue, TRUE);
myclob := myclob || convert(myvalue, 'UTF8', 'WE8ISO8859P1');
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
commit;
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
utl_http.end_response(resp);
Delete from feeds where id = feedtype;
insert into feeds values (feedtype,xmltype(myclob));
commit;
END;
The view that I have created is:
create or replace view GM as
select
extractvalue(value(d), '/article/@article_id') id,
extract(value(d), '/article/@article_title').getclobval() title,
extractvalue(value(d), '/article/@article_descrip') description
from feeds x,
table(xmlsequence(extract(x.DATA_XML, '/article_elements/article'))) d where x.ID = 7

How about some sample data? The Url you gave has a space in it and is not public available. What's the error message you got?

International Character Support?

Hi
The message I sent out for a share invitation included
umlauts (Für das Meeting heute); it arrived as "F�r das
Meeting heute" in Entourage on a Mac.

The current version of the Share service does not yet support
international character sets. We are adding support for this in
Share currently and will provide more information about supported
languages and locales as we come closer to releasing a new
version.

Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
- Example 1:
[http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
- Example 2:
[http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
Thank you for reading! Please help!

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.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
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.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

Invalid Characters shown in UTF-8 character set

There is an XMLP report whose template output character set is ISO-8859-1. The character set ISO-8859-1 is required for this report as per Spanish Authorities. When the report is run, output gets generated in the output directory file of application server. This output file doesn't contain any invalid characters.
But when the output is opened from SRS window, which opens it in a browser, the invalid characters are shown for characters like Ñ , É etc.
Investigation done:
Found that the output generated on the server is having ISO encoding and hence doesn't contain any invalid characters. Whereas the output generated from SRS window, it is in UTF encoding, so it seems the invalid characters are displayed when conversion takes place from ISO to UTF-8 format.
Created the eText output using the data xml and template using BI publisher tool, the output is in ISO encoding. So if i go and change the encoding to UTF-8 by opening it in explorer or Notepad++, invalid charcters are shown for Ñ, É etc.
Is there any limitation, that output from SRS window will show only in UTF-8 encoding? If not then please suggest.
Thanks,
Saket

Hi Srini,
When customer is viewing output from the SRS window, then it contains invalid characters because it is in UTF-8 character set. Customer is on Oracle OnDemand so they cannot take the output generated on the server.Every time they have to raise a request to Oracle for the output file. So the concern here is, why don't the output from SRS window show output with valid characters ?
The reason could be conversion of ISO format to UTF-8. How could this be resolved ? Does SRS window output cannot generate in ISO format ?
A quick reply will be appreciated as customer is chasing for an update.
Thanks,
Saket

Handling Special characters in the data set

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in hadling special characters while writing data to a flat file.
The data fetched in toad query is *44CAÑADO* (with some specail character over N), but when this same data is written in textpad using UTL_FILE.put_line, the data written is converted to *44CAÃ‘ADO*.
Can anyone please help me how to handle these special charatcers so that the same data is written in text file as well.
Regards,
Shruti

To find the database characterset, please see (Character Sets & Conversion - Frequently Asked Questions [ID 227330.1] -- 2. What is the database character set used for and how is it set?)
For your issue, please see these MOS docs.
