Special characters on iPhone, Is this character anywhere "ß"?

I need to be able to type "ß", but I can't find it. Am I not looking in the right place or does it not exist on the iPhone??

thank you, thank you, thank you! At first I didn't see it, but that is because I was trying to type it as the first letter where the default is set to CAPS and I guess you can't type it that way, but after I turned caps off there it was. Thank you very much!!

Special characters in iPhone.

Hello,
I'm trying to write a street address in a contact but, when it arrives at the door number + the floor number I need to write the 'º' character (e.g. nº 14/ 2º Direito) does anybody knows how can I do that?

Pushing and holding certain letters or symbols will bring up list of more options. Each keyboard is different and each language setting changes things so may be a bit hard to tell you...what language setting are you using. Have you tried others?

How to save Special Characters in oracle?

Is there any way to enter special characters such as ºC ? i am using J2EE and Oracle 9 i.
When i try to enter 2ºC after updating the datbase it is converted to 2ÂºC when it is displayed in HTML. All special characters are prefixed with Â. Pls suggest any way to use special characters with oracle ..

This has nothing do to with NLS_LANGUAGE. In general, character set processing depends on NLS_LANG setting (which is an OS setting and not a instance initialization parameter) and database character set. To understand NLS_LANG see OTN NLS_LANG FAQ http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm.
However, I think that JDBC is an exception and does not use the character set defined by NLS_LANG. See last answer in following discussion:
Re: When is NLS_LANG used ?

Special Characters in a Java Mapping

Hello everybody,
in our XI we have an Interface Mapping that uses a Java Mapping, this Mapping is doing a XSD-Validation of a XML-File.
In one XML-File there is more than one special Character (ó, O², ü..). The XI-Parser hat no problems with these characters except one, eventhough this character (ó) exists more than once in the document, the parser doesn't recognize it in only one position (While Parsing the "ó" turns to a "��").
I tested the Mapping in Eclipse and it works correctly. The question is, why the special character could not be interpreted in only one position in the document.
I guess it is a bug in the XI-Parser.
I will be thankful for your help.
Best regards
Adnane

This ó has the same Hex-code as all the others and it is in the same environment.
I definned in the source XML in the repository test the code Page in the XML-header as follows :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and that works. But when I test the Process at the runtime the problem above occurs.
I think that the interface Mapping is getting a source XML without a header, which defines the encoding as UTF-8, because when i test the Mapping in the repository with the XML-file without the Header information, the problem with the ó occurs.
My question is, where can i define the Encoding of the source-XML of this Interface Mapping?

Special characters in sender soap adapter provoke HTTP 500 error

Hi,
SAP R3 is sending a SOAP message to PI through SOAP adapter.
When the payload does NOT contain german characters like ü, it works fine.
However, when the payload DOES contain special characters, the SOAP adapter replies with an HTTP 500 code error.
If I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
- Make sure that SAP R3 sends the message in UTF-8 format (I think this is happening currently), as if SoapUI works, then probably R3 is not using UTF-8.
- Force the adapter to use UTF-8. Is this possible? In the sender SOAP adapter I've added AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean (type local EB), and then Transform.ContentType for parameter name and --> text/plain;charset=utf-8 for parameter value. The sender adapter will fail then for every message, with or without special characters.
Anyway, in this link (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/a4/f13341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) it seems to say that the sender soap adapter cannot be extended with modules, so maybe that's the reason why it fails when trying to add a module.
Thanks

If I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
Check the use of option 1 ..... the URL which SAP is using to send the data can containe the encoding information.
Check this SAP note: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/856597
From the above note:
Q: What character encoding is supported by the SOAP sender adapter?
+you can supply the encoding information with the xmlenc variable in the request URL as in+

Waveburner special characters in CDText Problem

Hi all,
first post
Been trying to burn a CD (internal drive) with Spanish titles in CDText and the special characters get corrupted (ñ ó í ).
This doesn't happen in Toast8 and seems specific to Waveburner (using 1.2)
I normally use the English keyboard layout and tried using the Spanish and Spanish ISO layouts to see if there was a difference, but no.
I would upload a picture to show but I don't know how.
so I'll describe:
Song title burned with Toast8: 1. Muñeca
Song title burned with WBP: 1. Mu∆eca
This was checked re-inserting the burned disc and command+I on toast
Also checked on a PC using "Audio Label" program which reads CDText.
This might not seem like a big problem but I simply cannot send a Master disc with Spanish titles to a CD plant which is a bummer.
I'm updating Logic Pro 7.2 to 8 soon which has Waveburner 1.5
I wonder if this is fixed?
Cheers

CD Text is apparently supposed to be in the ISO 8859 character set. Consequently european characters are supposed to be allowed in CD-Text. Every single title on my two last projects contained åäö and the meaning of a word will become drastically different - "låt" and "lat" are completely unrelated words ("song" and "lazy"). So you can't just drop them. If you just "drop" dots and rings that would be like dropping the dot over the "i". Does that make the "i" an "l" (L)?
Barring a CD-player that shows CD-text, what program can inspect an audio CD and tell what's on it?

Hi,
I am developing a Smartform for Position Description. For that I have to display data from table HRT1002 as the data in this table is stored using Text Editor the data internally is stored in '#' when there is a enter, space or some special Characters. While displaying this data I have used class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES -->HORIZONTAL_TAB to make '#' to it original value in my internal table.
After using the Class the data has been converted into the correct format, but while printing few special characters like ", ' , .. etc are been printed as # where as in my internal table they are not in # format. How can I change the # to it original Character while printing.

How to handle special characters such as apostrophe, ampersant

Hello All,
Tools:
JSP, JSDK 2
Oracle 8
Issue:
If the user supplies a String value inside a text box which has special characters such as apostrophe, while we try to compare that string with some value in the database, the sql error comes up as the sql string will be broken.
Example:
input string--> ABC D'OLL
sql --> "select * from verndor where vendor_name ='ABC D'OLL' "
Present solution:
I am reading each input string & look for such special characters. if so, replaces that character with escape character + that character.
This solution works.
Problem:
If there any more efficient way to handle such character??
At java level or Database level
Thanks In advance :)

Use PreparedStatements

Special characters are not showing properly in FF.

I am developing an website where user can input special characters like '¥' or '╩' like this. I have to store these value to DB and wold display it from DB. When I try to fetch these value from DB, it looks like '�'. I am using <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in my jsp page. This is working fine in Chrome, problem occurs with FF only. Please help.

Are you serving the page fully formed, or inserting the characters into the page from an XMLHttpRequest? Could you post a link to a page demonstrating the problem?

Special characters in Unix

I have pdf document which contains special characters in it.
The character is rendering correctly in Window nt but in Solarix/Unix it is being rendered as ?. How do I correct the problem on Unix and not create a problem on nt?

What character set are you using? Perhaps the document is using Windows-specific character encoding. Try using Unicode/UTF-8 instead, if you can. Or maybe your Linux fonts just don't contain the character you're trying to use.
I've never had problems with viewing a PDF on Linux before though.

ASA Iphone, Ipad VPN client pre-shared key (PSK) special characters bug

I ran into this in a deployment of IPSec clients with apple ipad and iphone native vpn client. Here are details:
Cisco ASA 8.2.5 OS
Ipad, running 5.0.1
Iphone i4S, running OS 5.0.1
Special characters make your pre-shared key more secure, so i used a password generator app to make one that coincidently included a " (quotation mark). After configuring this PSK on a Ipad, i was unable to connect. I saw nothing in the ASA logs, indicating the Ipad didnt even try to connect.
The Ipad generated the following error message:
VPN Connection
A configuration error occured
OK Button
After searching for quite some time, i found this somewhat obscure reference to the bug:
http://blogs.oreilly.com/iphone/2008/07/strong-passwords-can-hurt.html
Special thx to this guy!
So i started to test special characters to see what would work, adding in 1 character at a time. Here is where I stopped:
pre-shared-key !@#$%^&*()_-+=;:'<>,.
These characters worked in the PSK. If you are curious, and want to play, have fun. I assume the alphnumerics will work since those are pretty standard.
As a side note, here are a few more interesting items:
1) The " (quote mark) does work when you run the real cisco vpn client. This was successful on a Windows 7 laptop with 5.X VPN Client.
2) The ? (question mark) doesnt work as well, but that is a little easier to figure out because when you configure it on the ASA, context-sensitive help kicks in and knocks you off the config line.
3) Iphone I4S suffers from the same issue - doesnt like quotes.
4) Android is probably not affected by this bug, but I tested on an open source TUN driver- enabled adroid - not the bionic.
Hope that saves someone some time, sometime!

Thanks for the tip.

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.

Apple, please address this issue!!! Searching and special characters

I've found at least one other topic here regarding this issue, but Apple has yet to address it, or even confirm that it's in fact an issue.
A big portion of my library consists of international artists, many who have special/nonstandard characters in their names (e.g. "Tiësto"). In previous versions of iTunes, I could search for "Tiesto" (note the absence of the umlaut over the 'e') and all of those tracks would appear. However, after upgrading to iTunes 9, I'm forced to search for "Tiësto" in order to view those tracks.
Thinking about this issue, it would seem that this is normal behavior, as an artist named "Pàz" isn't necessarily the same as "Paz". But the reality is that NO ONE wants to take the time to search for the alt-code of a special character, and then type it in. Additionally, most people (including me) have a number of reasons for not renaming the artist to conform to standard characters.
Clearly, something has changed between iTunes 8 and 9. And it's incredibly frustrating. A big chunk of my library is virtually inaccessible to me now, unless I search for terms that don't contain special characters.
Apple, **PLEASE** address this issue. I'm not the only one with the problem and it's become a huge pain in my side to have to work around this.

I don't see how it's sloppy or why there should be any reason that it shouldn't have given you both.
Even putting aside that gracenote and others don't have consistent spelling in their databases, that when you download from the iTunes store, who knows what you're going to get, so that one's library could be all over the place and one might not even notice it, accents and other markings don't change the fact that a u is the same letter as ú.
Yes, it's pronounced different. Yes, the difference is very important. But it's the same base letter. And even if it's considered a different letter in another language, in English we have 26 letters and all the accents and tildes and umlauts don't make them a new letter, which is what we're talking about here.
It's a huge pain that looking for an album that has "Zürich" in the field and I type in "Zurich" I can't find it. I have to think about if I really do have that album, maybe I deleted it by accident, etc. And then I think to type "rich" and then it pops up.
That's way too many steps. I don't know keyboard shortcuts and I don't want to learn them. In English, it should be letters, not characters, that count.

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 :

Special Characters and the Character Palate

I am trying to type a composition for my Italian class. I need to insert a few accent marks. Common sense tells me that I should use the "special characters" option on the edit menu, and a little research explains that a character palate should pop up. However, when I click special characters, nothing happens! What do I do?
Thank you for your help!

Jennifer,
Do I understand correctly that you are calling up the Character Palette (using, e.g. Edit/Special Characters...) and nothing happens, i.e. no Palette pops up?
If yes, then Tom Genecke provided this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307354
which solved the problem for me right away.
As for international characters, I warmly recommend including the US-Extended Keyboard in your layout (System Preferences/International/Input Menu). This allows you to use shortcuts for characters such as à or ì (Alt-`/~ (top left hand corner of your US keyboard) followed by the letter a or i, respectively), or é, á, or í (Alt-e followed by e,a, or i). And a host of others.
Good luck on your composition!
Michael
