Spotlight Characters: Apps display in Kanji or Chinese

Trying to find an application using Snow Leopard results in the right icon being displayed next to the name but the name is in Chinese (Or Kanji) or something like that. All other spotlight list items are in English!
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks
James

Same problem here: Spotlight functions correctly, however, when I search for a system application, it's name appears in Chinese characters. My friend, who has the same system as me, is experiencing the same anomaly.
In online forums I've scoured, users experiencing this issue seem to think it's font-conflict related, but nobody appears to be certain. I haven't heard of a single circumstance in which a user has taken specific action to remedy the problem.
I suspect this problem is very widespread, but only Spotlight users are noticing it; hence the low level of reports. Touch wood, it's not a major issue, but I like things to be right and it's going to drive me mad until I resolve it.

How do I set up my app to display its name in Chinese?

Within my app-descriptor.xml
<name>
        <text xml:lang="en">Appname</text>
        <text xml:lang="es">ESAppname</text>
        <text xml:lang="ch">背痛</text>
        <text xml:lang="zh_CN">背痛</text>
        <text xml:lang="zh_TW">背痛</text>
    </name>
When the iPhone language is set to English, or Spanish, the app name is displayed correctly, but for Chinese Simplifled it reverts back to displaying the English name.
Would anyone know how to achieve this?
Using AIR 16 as 17 currently has bug issues for me.

Thanks for replying Chris.
Unfortunately though that had no affect but when reading your post I did spot another post which seems to work.

Chinese and Korean characters not displaying in navigation pane

I have an issue with Chinese and Korean characters not displaying on the tabs in the navigation pane:
I have 2 RoboHelp projects (using RoboHelp 8 with the updates installed) to generate WebHelp, one in Simplified Chinese, the other Korean. The HTML files, .HHC and .HHK were sent out for translations. I have set the appropriate language in the project settings, everything almost works, except for the text on the Contents, Index, and Search tabs. (I'm not using a skin.) I have read in various threads that the lng file should be edited using the RoboHelp interface, and this seems to be the crux of the problem. The characters do not display correctly through the RoboHelp UI.
The computer on which I generate the WebHelp is Windows Server 2003, and I do not have the language packs installed. (And am having problems getting hold of the language packs to install to see if this fixes the problem.)
Aside from installing the language packs, is there anything else I can try to help resolve the problem? (The characters in the content are displaying as expected.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Perhaps something in the Translation Info section of this page might help? (The specifics are for Japanese, but I believe the issue would apply to all double-byte languages).

Thai characters not displaying correctly within App

Hi everyone,
I have a Adobe Flex Mobile app displays Thai text, however this is not displaying correctly. While developing the App on my Windows machine and testing using the Adobe Flash Builder mobile emulator, the font/characters look correct.
However when running the app on either the MAC Adobe Flash Builder emulator, the iPhone simulator or on an actual iPhone, the font/characters are incorrect.
First I thought that it was maybe an encoding issue (I am using locale properties files to replace text), so followed instructions at this website Flash Builder, Flex language bundles showing strange symbols. Not utf8 encoded.Sefol however this did not solve the issue.
Looking more closely at the text rendered, it looks as though all of the characters for each word are actually being rendered, but they are just being rendered in correctly. Where as if it was a encoding issue then it would be missing characters completely.
So if you look at the first character, in the correct version it is built up of 3 components. If you look at the second image, you can see that these three components are present but just not all appearing within one character.
Is this a font issue? or is it actually an encoding/rendering issue?
My code for testing this is just a simple label tag
<s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" />
Many thanks.

Ok so after doing a bit more of an investigation into the Font being the issue and not the encoding type, it seems as though if I use a specific font which I know has the Thai characters, then they are displayed correctly.
I have embedded the font into the App using the code:
[Embed(source="../assets/Kinnari.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", embedAsCFF="true", fontFamily="ThaiFont")]
private var ThaiFont:Class;
Then on my UI I have added the font:
<s:Label text="ชื่อผู้ใช้" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" fontFamily="ThaiFont" />
I was able to find this font at a Hawaiian Educational website! Thai fonts :: Thai Language Program, University of Hawai'i, Manoa
Thanks @tooMuchTrouble for your help.

Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc

Hi All,
I have typed in some Chinese Characters into a Print Layout Document.
I am able to print these documents with the Chinese characters. But I am not able to display these Chinese Characters when I click on PDF.
Please advise.

Hi Gordon,
I have applied the various asian language service pack for the Adobe Reader.
However, i am still not able to see the Chinese Characters in the PDF document when click on the PDF at SAP B1's Toolbar.
Step 1 : Update a PLD with Chinese Characters (as text or from database field). Eg. AR Invoice.
Step 2 : Set the PLD as Default Layout.
Step 3 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on Preview. Chinese Character is able to be previewed and printed.
Convert to PLD.
Step 4 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on PDF button at the Toolbar. Preview the PDF document. No Chinese Characters are displayed.
Is it due to Localisation? Localisation = Singapore
Please advise.
Regards

Chinese characters are displayed as blank box on the TextField in Taiwan Android 4.4.2/AIR4.0

I am in mainland China, my Nexus7 can display chinese characters, but my friend in Taiwan, his android4.4.2 display chinese characters as blank.
I don't understand the reason.
By the way, TextFormat.font don't work, whatever I set any fonts, display are the same.

Foreign characters not displaying

Hi... I am developing a web app that includes a database of world cities, many of which have foreign characters in their names. The MySQL database is displaying the characters correctly, but when it comes to displaying them in drop down menus, the foreign characters are displayed as blank boxes.
The application is a J2EE Java app.
In the index.jsp file, in the html section, I have specified various types of character sets, including the standard iso-8859-1 and utf-8, but none make a difference.
The home page with the drop-down menus is at www.your-astrology-report.com/index.jsp. From the pull-down menus, select "International", then "Greece", then "NON-ENGLISH FIRST LETTERS" and you'll see what I mean.
The database code that puts the city names into the drop down menu is as follows, although as a fragment, it's incomplete.
try{
     out.print("<select name='city'>");
     out.println("<option value='0'>Select Birth Town - Check Region!</option>");
     if(letter.equals("?")){
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city NOT RLIKE '^[A-Z]' order by city";
     } else {
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city LIKE '"+letter+"%' order by city";//city begins with letter
     ResultSet rst=execute_sql_query(q);
     int count=0;
     while(rst.next()){
          out.println("<option value='"+count+"'>"+rst.getString("city")+" - "+rst.getString("subdiv")+" "+SubDiv+"</option>");
          count++;
     out.println("</select>");
I am very new to Java.
Is there some basic way of telling either the query and/or the out.print statement to get, preserve, and display these foreign characters correctly?
Please keep it simple! Like I said, I'm new to all this, and most of the Google queries I've made to try to figure this out have been gobble-de-gook to me! LOL!
Thanks,
Fartian

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. So far, I'm sorry to say, none of your suggestions have helped, though.
I suspect, though, that the reply concerning character streams (PaulClapham) holds the answer. I just don't know how to implement this in my case, i.e. how to apply this to the out.println statements in the previously given code block. My experience with Java is limited. Any ideas?
I should probably tell you how all this is structured in terms of one file calling another:
First we have the index.jsp (www.your-astrology-report.com/index.htm), which has dynamic input fields, the one in question being this:
<td colspan="2"><div id="cities"><select name="city"><option value="">Select City</option></select></div></td>
      <td colspan="2">Select First Letter of City First!</td>div id="cities" refers to a function in a second file, xmlhttp.jsp, which is called by the dynamic input field located just above the "cities" field.
Here is the function:
function handleCityU(regid_letter_country){
     document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML="Loading cities...";
     url="internal_requestU2.jsp?regid_letter_country="+regid_letter_country.value;
     var xmlhttp=myXMLHttpRequest();
     xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
     xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
          if(xmlhttp.readyState!=4)return;
          document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
     xmlhttp.send(null);
}This function passes the variable "regid_letter_country.value" to yet another file that then parses the variable, requests the required database data, and creates the out.println statements that then populate the dynamic pull-down menu that displays the cities in the original index.jsp file.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED IT TO BE DISPLAYING INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS. The code for this part is what I originally posted.
Help!
Many thanks...

Non-Latin characters no displaying properly in Safari on iPhone

I am having an issue where non-English (Chinese, Japanese etc) characters are displaying as squares on the iPhone's Safari browser. I've seen this issue on Windows when you haven't installed support for Asian languages.
It would appear that the version of OS-X on the iPhones does not have support for non-Latin character sets.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I am having an issue where non-English (Chinese,
Japanese etc) characters are displaying as squares on
the iPhone's Safari browser.
Could you provide the urls? It may be the pages have bad coding. Correctly coded pages will display according to tests I've seen:
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iphonesafarilang.jpg
But unlike OS X the iPhone has no way yet to manually correct for miscoded pages via a View > Text Encoding menu.

Utf8 characters not displayed correctly

I have a database created with collation of latin1_swedish_ci
which contains big5. I realise that I have to create the db using
utf8 in order to display correctly. However, due to the db was
created long ago, I could not change it. Is it possible to do a
conversion before the characters are displayed?
default charset of apache is utf-8
connection string is added
"useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8"

if the columns holding your text datatypes aren't unicode
capable, then you'll
never get the data out except the same way it went in.
depending on the db, datatypes, app server, it's a good bet
that the data's not
big5 but some corruption of it.

Korean characters are displayed as blank box on the TextField in Galaxy Note 3/Android 4.4/AIR 4.0

The AIR SDK we used is 1/14/2014 Release - AIR 4.
The device we have tested on is Samsung Galaxy Note 3/Android 4.4.
We found that it's quite similar with Bug 3681788 which has been fixed in Beta version 4.0.0.1619.
We checked the issue again with this beta version, and the result is Chinese characters are shown correctly, but Korean's are still not.
Bug 3681788: The CCJ languages characters are displayed as blank box on the TextField.
Hope it can be fixed as soon as possible.

Japanese Characteres have same issue.
We tested on ASUS Nexus 7/Android 4.4.2/AIR 4.0 and Japanese characters are displayed as blank box in the TextField.
The AIR SDK we used is February 20th 2014 Release - AIR 4.
The device we have tested on is ASUS Nexus 7/Android 4.4.2.
AIR SDK 3.6 worked fine.
AIR SDK 3.9 has same issue.
We tested Chinese on ASUS Nexus 7/Android 4.4.2/AIR 4.0, and Chinese Characters are displayed as blank box in the TextField.
I doubt that Korean Characters will also displayed as blank box.( Sorry we cannot read or write Korean so we couldn't test it)
I am guessing GalaxyNote 3(4.4) may also have same issue with Japanese.
Hope this helps

Question concerning special characters (i.e. Kanji signs) within JavaMail

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to create and send E-Mails out of an struts-/JSP-application where users may enter some remarks.
These remarks can contain special characters like ampersand, German umlauts, Kanji signs etc.
Now what do I have to do/to encode or whatever in order to send these remarks as message contents using the JavaMail API in order to get them displayed correctly within Mozillas (and other) mail clients?
The best results I achieved so far was while using "text/html" when setting content into a MimeMessage object.
But unfortunately all CRLFs entered within the remark fields were missing (ok, I can adjust them when converting the CRLF into <BR> as long as using "text/html") and furthermore the Kanji signs were only displayed as question marks.
I converted every character/sign entered into the remarks field into Java-unicode chacracters (from their HTML entity representation). When doing so the Kanji characters are displayed correctly while shown within MS Excel in a sheet the has been created by JExcel API (Java) but they aren't displayed within mail clients!
What do I have to do in order to get them displayed correctly?
Will I have all the content to be wrapped into HTML body-tags (<head></head><body> --- content --- </body>) when sending mails using "text/html"?
Many thanks in advance
Best regards

Ok, found a solution for the Kanji Signs: setting the content using setText(string, "UTF-8"); does the job.
Now I'll only have to adjust the non-Kanji-HTML-Entities like &  and so on.
Tey can be mixed with Kanji signs in the same string.
Any Ideas?

Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue

My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
And of course better; has someone solved this?

I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?
