Special unicode character

I have been trying to get a line over the lower case o so it looks like this, ō, or the macron as it is known. I am using InDesign CS2 and want to have this character in Helvetica condensed.
I can't get it to work using the Unicode key combination. This is not a font issue, the unicode combination worked in this text box. It also works in Word using the font I want - Helvetica condensed. Trying to paste from the system's character palette comes up with a wrong-sized, inappropriate character.
Is there anything I can do to get this character in Helvetica condensed? I've heard that CS3 has the same font/unicode issues.
I'm running a dual 2GB G5 PowerPc in OS 10.4.11.

I'm not so familiar with Mac Word, but WinWord automatically substitutes fonts when it encounters a character missing from the current font and does not tell you. Not many fonts contain macron-o, so I would not be surprised if that was happening here. ID differs in highlighting missing characters with the "dreaded pink boxes," so sometimes the easiest way to check is, as, as J suggests, to select the character in ID and see how it is identified in the glyph palette.
Good luck!

  • How to process special unicode character

    I just want to know how to process special entity
    such as &auml,&uuml,&yuml,etc.
    I use System.out.println() to print these characters, but I can see nothing.
    I write this characters into text file,but there are question mark instead.

    What OS you are using? If you are using WinNT/2K, they should be printed. If you are using others, you could try to change the font used by the console to see if those characters are printable.

  • Special Unicode characters in RSS XML

    Hi,
    I'm using an adapted version of Husnu Sensoy's solution (http://husnusensoy.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/o-rss-11010-on-sourceforgenet/ - thanks, Husnu) to consume RSS feeds in an Apex app.
    It works a treat, except in cases where the source feeds contain special unicode characters such as [right double quotation mark  - 0x92  0x2019] (thankyou, http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml)
    These cases fail with
    ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LPX-00217: invalid character 8217 (U+2019) Error at line 19
    Any ideas on how to translate these characters, or replace them with something innocuous (UNISTR?), so that the XML transformation succeeds?

  • Unicode character not displaying when PDF is created using PDFMaker

    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
    Our company letterhead contains a special character (Unicode 25AA "Black Small Square"). When a PDF is created of a Microsoft Word document (2003 or 2007) using the PDFMaker, that character is not displayed in Acrobat (shows as whitespace). Strangely enough, if I search for the character in that PDF file using the Acrobat search function (query "u/25AA"), the search finds the character, but again, it is displayed as whitespace.
    However, if I create a PDF from that same Word document by printing to Adobe PDF, the character displays correctly in Acrobat. Additionally, if I do a SaveAs to PDF (Using the Microsoft plugin), the character displays correctly in Acrobat. This leads me to believe that muy issue is related to the PDFMaker (as opposed to the PDF printing function) and how the character is embedded into the PDF file. I have tried opening the PDF in other versions of Acrobat, but I get the same result.
    Any suggestions? We would like to utilize the convenience of the PDFMaker for our letters and reports, and not have to use the print function. I can email a sample of all the PDF's I spoke of upon request, but the issue should be reproducable using the following steps:
    1. Open MS Word and type (or copy from the Character Map) unicode character 25AA in Arial font.
    2. Save Word file.
    3. Use PDFMaker to create PDF file.
    4. Open PDF file and view results.
    Any guidance or help is appreciated.
    Phil Hinton

    First, check the fonts in the PDF to be sure that they are not embedded (you are likely correct that there is a problem). What job settings are you using. Try the press or print. Also check the job settings to be sure that ALL fonts are to be embedded.
    Also, check the log file of Distiller (set it to not be deleted in the settings). If there is an issue with the license of the font then the font will not be embedded. In that case you need to find a licensed version of the font or change to a different font.

  • Unicode Character - getString - ResultSet - Java.

    Hello experts,
    I am trying to query some records, containing unicode character of fields. When i execute the query in Oracle 9i, i am able to see the unicode character in the query result.
    When sending the same sql from java, though i am getting same count of records, but the field name containing special characters, are not being visible in the rs.getString(1) method.
    Could you please help me, on getting the special character in the output.
    Your direction in this regard is highly appreciated...
    Regards,
    girig.

    Basically, i am using eclipse Ide, and seeing the
    output in the console window.Try printing the unicode hex value of the characters rather than the charcters. This way you will not be worried about whether or not the font used by the display actually has glyphs for the characters.

  • Essbase studio unicode character issue

    Hi all,
    We are facing issues in Essbase Studio when records with unicode character is encountered.
    E.g. We have a field like City BUCUREȘTI with a unicode character. So when the record with this filed comes, it concatenates the part of the filed (City BUCURE) before the special character to the next record and the next record gets rejected. So we are seeing the below error in the logs :
    \\Record #1060 - Incorrect Syntax For Member City BUCURECountry ZA     H668207     A676477
    We are deploying it as Unicode application
    Details : Source database : Teradata 13
    Essbase - 11.1.2.2
    We are using streaming mode and dynamic ODBC and deploying unicode application.
    Has anybody faced this issue and can help me?
    Many thanks.

    Are you definitely sure that is not an issue with the syntax of the deploy command, are you saying the Maxl works when running it from the Essbase Studio Server?

  • Engraving with a unicode character

    didn't know where the best place to ask this question was...
    i'm about to replace my 5th gen ipod with an 80GB ipod classic. i want to get it engraved with a unicode character (ॐ), but when i type it into the "Line 1" field it doesn't show up. It shows up as a question mark (?). Is this just on the website, or will it actually engrave as a question mark. I really want to make sure it engraves with what i want since i can't return engraved items.
    Please and thank you

    Hi Mexigerm,
    Accented and other special characters, including "~*\, cannot be used in your iPod engraving or gift message.
    Unfortunately your character is also included on the list.
    If you proceed with the engraving, a question mark will appear... Sorry!
    Hope this helps!

    Use the default parser.
    By default, WebLogic Server is configured to use the default parser and transformer to parse and transform XML documents. The default parser and transformer are those included in the JDK 5.0.
    The built-in WebLogic Server DOM factory implementation class is com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.
    The DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance method returns the built-in parser.
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

  • Unicode Character sets (e.g UTF-8)

    Hi,
    We are using some third party software which will connect to the oracle database.
    One of the requiremebnts it states is that both the databse client and server must use the Unicode character set e.g UTF-8.
    How do we ensure this when installing the oracle client software.
    Also, why when install orcale client software and select language as English does it put NLS_LANG as American by default.
    Is there an English U.K language option - couldn't see it.

    Hello Steve,
    Firstly, you cannot install Outlook with Exchange because they share certain dll files.
    About the EMS question, I suggest we try rebuilding the powershell virtual directory. If it still does not work, check the application log for more referernce.

  • Unicode Literal to Unicode Character

    I have a list of all the unicode characters (00C1, 00E1, 0103, etc.).
    I am displaying their data as \u00C1 (in a java string: System.out.println("\\u00C1");)
    How would I go about converting that literal string to the actual unicode character?
    I want \\u00C1 to become the actual \u00C1 character.
    All I'm really doing right now is letting the user enter in that data and then parsing their string for all unicode specifications and then turning them into the actual unicode characters.

    char c = (char)Integer.valueOf("00C1", 16).intValue();

    Regards,
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    Yeh, fonts are rather ubiquitous when it comes to internationalization. The fact that the font.properties files still exist confuses a lot of people. In reality, Sun doesn't support them any more, and they aren't all that useful if you're actually deploying your code onto other machines.
    So, to answer your questions... :D
    1) Each component will have a font set on it. To start with, each component will end up with the JDK default, usually the Dialog font in Java. From memory, I think this maps to Arial on Windows systems, though I'm not sure if RichWin alters this in anyway, as I haven't used it myself.
    You can check the available fonts on your machine by calling:
    GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
    This returns an array of strings. You can basically create a new font from any of the names that appear in here. For instance, if one of the strings was "Arial Bold", you could create the following font:
    Font myFont = new Font("Arial Bold", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    2) The best way is to simply create the font you want on startup. If you can't rely on the font
    you need being installed on every machine you plan to run your program on, the best solution is to either install it on startup, or carry it around with you.
    Have a look at Font.createFont(), as it allows you to create a new Font object from a *.TTF file (a TrueType font). In JDK1.3, this is buggy, leaving a large temp file behind every time you run it, but I've already tried this under Merlin Beta, and it's fixed and working fine.
    The reason this is handy is because the font we keep talking about on here, Arial Unicode MS, is a TrueType font. So you can carry the font around with you, and load it on startup using this call.
    Arial Unicode MS is a 23Mb font, but it's capable of displaying just about any character you could imagine.
    The trick from there, once you've loaded your font, is to make sure you call setFont() on just about any component you create. Menus are a cow - you've got to listen for events, as the dropdown menus don't always get the font straight away. But other than that, it's fairly simple.
    3) The short answer is to call the getAvailableFontFamilyNames() call above, and look for any familiar font names. If you can't find any, you know you're not going to be able to display anything.
    Windows seems to have standard fonts for the international languages. In Chinese, this is SimHei for Simplified (mainland) Chinese, and MingLiU for Traditional (Taiwanese) Chinese. Simplified covers about 30,000 Kanji, while Traditional covers around 80,000.
    So for Chinese, you would look for "SimHei" and "MingLiU", plus any of the fonts capable of displaying anything, like "Arial Unicode MS". If none of these strings are in the array, you may want to carry the Arial Unicode MS installer around with you and execute it. This file is about 11Mb, and is available as a download off the Microsoft website.
    4) Probably about the most useful thing I've come across is the Sun I18N tutorial on this very website. There isn't a heck of a lot out there, unfortunately. About the only other things I can recommend are http://www.unicode.org for the Unicode character codes, and http://www.njstar.com for NJStar Communicator, which you'll find useful if you're working with Chinese.
    Oh, and watch this forum, of course. ;D
    Hope that helps!
