Special characters pop-in

i have to do my homework in latin. i have the special characters pop-up available, but have to insert each character individually. is there any way i can assign these characters to my keyboard so i can just continue typing everything? it works in MS office, but i don't want to use that machine.

i apologize for my error. what i am trying to do is add the macrons for vowels into my normal typing. the special characters set you've shown does not include the latin characters that i have specified in the favorites section of the the pop-in. i can type as usual, but when i need a vowel with a macron (long mark over the letter) i have to use my mouse/track pad to select it and then hit insert to put it into my document. i'm trying to figure out how to assign a keyboard shortcut to do this. in MS word, i can by assigning "alt+ some other key" then when i am typing i just hit those two keys and it pops into my document. iWork makes me have to use 2 screens, and switch between typing and mousing, which is very time consuming. hope i have explained this well enough for you to see my problem. and thank you very much for attempting to help me.

Special Characters Pop Up doesnt work

Hey,
I realized I cannot insert any special characters since when i hit edit - special characters in any program, no pop-up is showing up...
What can I do except re-installing since the macbook is only 4 weeks or so old

Hello,
Did you ever find a solution for this? Mine is doing it as well. Once day I noticed an American flag on the top left bar next to the power indicator. After clicking on it and trying to make it go away, this pop up window keep appearing.
It is Weird....

I have a MacBook purchased in 2009 with Snow Leopard. I tried to access "special characters" from the Finder menu and an intermittent blank pop ups and will not stop. It also happens when I run Word or Pages.

The blank pop up began as I tried to access "special characters" from the finder menu. I restarted, turned off and restarted and it did not work. It interferes with any application because I cannot work fast. Every new step takes a few seconds longer such as saving, finding text, check spelling and many more. I am desperate to solve this. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

HT1338 My special characters screen for pages is running in the background no matter what I do. It randomly pops up and then goes away. I can't close it even though I have closed pages and restarted my computer. How can I stop this.

Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences. To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

Hi,
I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
1. The data source for 0VENDOR does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
3. The text for 0VENDOR provides time-dependent, but how to map the valid from and valid to fields?
Handling Special Characters:
We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
Thanks in advance.

Sudhakar.

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 in Web Services

I have developed a Web Service in Java using JBuilder 2005 and deployed it on BEA Weblogic 8.1 SP5. Weblogic is configured to use the ISO-8859-1 encoding as well as JBuilder. I am living in South Africa and we need to cater for special characters. A typical test string is "MOK�ENA��A".
I have also developed a little test class to test this Web Service. The only parameter is a String type and it returns a String type. This String type must be able to handle special characters.
I understand that the String in Java is unicode with no encoding. How do I pass a string containing special characters to this web service. I am getting the error "SOAP Fault:javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: Internal Error: unable to process your request: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? - with nested exception:
[weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? - with nested exception:
[java.io.CharConversionException: Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing?]]" .
Currently I am converting the string to a byte[] array and encode it with the .getBytes("ISO-8859-1") method of the String class and replace the String parameter in the Web Service with a byte[] type. This results in a longer than needed parameter that needs to go over the wire.
I want to do it the wright way using string type if possible.
What is the correct way of dealing with this special characters.
Regards

In theory you should be able to enter them via a special small pop up window. In System Preferences -> Keyboard -> and you can switch to show keyboard layout and such in the menu bar (assuming you're running SL).
Then you can open a glyphs window accessing all possible unicode characters:

Using accents/special characters in keyboard WAY TOO SLOW!

I'm often using french, and thus many words have many accents (just a short phrase exemple : l'été passé j'ai dû boire l'amère potion de la déception... A short sentence, 5 accents. Can be worse).
I'm typing pretty fast, and already getting frustrated because the french keyboard doesn't have the ' included, which would save so much time in contractions. (Would probably be added automatically if I could use the corrector, but I can't, cause switching from french to english all the time, I just get stupid jumble all the time).
But the worst of the worst is each time I need to type an accented letter, I lose 2.5 seconds! Because that's how long it takes for the accents options to pop-up after I hold my finger on the letter...
It's completely ridiculous!
Typing a short 3 letter word like "été" takes over 6 seconds!
It makes me so mad!
I almost completely stopped writing my french emails or Facebook updates and such from my iPod Touch and prefer to wait until I'm on my MBP! Is that normal when you have the chance to own the Touch?!
I've contacted Apple about this many months ago, but like any complaint I've had in the past, never heard of them.
Has anyone else have such a delay with the accents/special characters keyboard (popups)?
Is there something I can do?

Simply copy and paste. Just did it and it worked. Perhaps I'm not understanding something. What do you mean by "insert a font."

The special characters are not loading. ?

For some reason the special characters stopped appearing when I click "Special Characters" under the Edit tab. I don't understand, and unfortunately in my academic work practically a third of the characters I have to use are these. Is there another way to access them or a problem that might be responsible? I already closed and restarted.
Thanks

NEVERMIND.
The window was already open but at the VERY EDGE, barely perceived, at the bottom so I had to grab it real fast before the icons popped up. Lesson learned.

Unable to add special characters such as # and ( in headers of Report in Text format

Hi,
I am working on developing a report that will be exported to tab delimited text format from SSRS. The Report has been developed and it is getting exported to tab delimited text format. However, special characters in the heading are getting trimmed. I would
like to get these special characters in the heading of text file. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit,
Per my understanding that you have add an extension which export the report as .txt format, now the issue is the special characters"#" not display after exportted, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue , this is by default, when you type some special characters "#" as the textbox name in the properties window or as calculatted field name you will get error pop up window,
if you type the text in the textbox as "#" it will also not display in the CSV or tab delimited text format report.
But we have some alternative method to make them display some way, more details information below for your reference:
Display "#" in the table header
If we want to make them display in the table header, we need to create an new table an put all the table header as one record in the table, because the value in the table can display "#" correctly：
I assumed you have four columns as the table header(Test1#,Test2#,Test3#,Test4#) please create an new table (HeaderTable )to store these value:
Create two dataset2:
Dataset1: display the record from step1
DataSet2：display the record of the report
Create two Tablixs as below and both remove the header column, Tablix1(Dataset1) diplay the value comes from the step1 as the new header column:
Tablix1(Dataset2):Report Data
In this way, when export to tab delimited txt, you will got the table header display correctly.
Display "#" in the textbox outisde of the tablix
If you just want to display "#" outside the tablix, you can just add an calculatted field(Test) and use expression like below to specify the value which you want to display in the calculatted field:
="test######test"
Then you can use below expression in the textbox:
=first(Fields!Test.Value, "DataSetName")
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Special characters palate present on log-in

After my MacBook has been asleep and I log in (I have it set to ask for a password on wake/screensaver exit) I always see the "special Characters" palate. I can close the palate but from then on any time the system asks me for a password it pops up again. If I close it before entering my password (i.e. before the log-in prompt goes away) I don't have the problem again until the computer has been asleep (if it just goes to the screen saver the special characters palate doesn't come back on log-in).
Very weird problem - any suggestions?

It sounds like special characters is in your login items. Launch System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and choose it, then use the plus minus to delete it.

Adobe Interactive Forms ZCI with special characters

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me with the problem described below.
We are using Adobe Interactive Forms ZCI (IF). On our IF we placed a Enumerated DDL from the Webdynpro Native tab. In the Visual Admin the number of entries for the DDL is 50 (default). The problem is that when the DDL consists of more than 50 entries a webdynpro pop-up screen is shown. In our DDL we have entries with special characters for example the apostrophe (ie. s). When I select one of these entries its not displayed correctly in the form. It is displayed as 's.
We are using Adobe reader 7.08. I also tested it with reader 8.1.0 and there the problem still occurs.
We are using NW04s SP12.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Hello Saujanya,
This is not what i meant.
The problem isn't that not all entries are listed in the EVS, but that when the EVS is displayed and i select an entry with a "special" character like i.e.. a apostrophe (') the selected value isn't correctly displayed in the DDL as selected item. Say the i select from the EVS the value " 's " when the EVS is gone the value in the DDL is 's. This is not correct.
Hope this explanation will help.
Kind regards,
Maarten.
