String control not displaying special characters

In Microsoft Word, I can display special ASCII characters such as ASCII 29 'GS' by using the keypad and holding the alt key while typing the ASCII numerical equivalent alt+029. I want to enter these characters into a string from a string control but I can't figure out if that is possible or if so, what settings to use.

Hello,
CVI only uses certain character sets and fonts because at the time that CVI was created, unicode did not exist. You will have to choose the correct font and character set for the string control that will provide access to the character you are searching for. For example, if you wanted the character produced from holding ALT + 29 (↔), you could set the string control's character set and font to "symbol". Pressing ALT + 174 in CVI will then display the ↔ character.

I don't believe it's a font issue, as those characters display fine in a text editor using Terminus.

Read over it ten times. The only thing that looks remotely helpful is the section on "My terminal doesn't support UTF-8" ... it then tells me to use rxvt-unicode, which I am using. Feel free to point out something that may be obvious to you. I'm pretty oblivious at times.

Grid does not display special characters (as square boxes)

SQLD 1.5.1 (54.40):
We found out, special characters like newline will not shown in data grid in any way. But we need to know, if there are such characters. If there any way to get these characters visible?
Pls try following case
create table mytab (mycol varchar2(20));
insert into mytab(mycol) values('Test'||char(13));
commit;
select * from mytab;
You will not see the appended newline character within the grid, while toad is doing .

You're right that whitespace doesn't show as squares anymore (I think they did in the past), but everything else seems OK.
Why don't you try something like this and prove for yourself:
select '

How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
B) Are there another required step
s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
And recite the mantra
ActiveX is good
ActiveX is holy
All Hail Bill
Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

Display special characters

Hi,
i'm displaying usernames in our application, but i'm not sure
how to display
special characters correctly.
When using the labels htmltext property, it only recognized
html style tags, but
no html encoded special character like ü for the
german character ü.
The encode string is simply displayed literally: ü
Anyone knows how to display those special characters
correctly ?

Try one of the NSString "stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding" methods.

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Can Apple TV display special characters in movie chapter names?

I have an Apple TV 2.0.1. I have encoded my own movies with descriptive chapter names, imported them into iTunes 7.6.2.9, and synced them to my Apple TV. Does the Apple TV have the ability to display special characters (ó, û, etc.) in movie chapter names? The movies play fine and in iTunes the chapter names are all displayed correctly. I also have an iPod Touch 1.1.4 and it can display the chapter names with special characters fine as well. When playing the movies on Apple TV, only the chapters that have special characters in them display nothing at all for the chapter name. All the other chapters display fine.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I can't really confirm your observation one way or the other, I don't use chapter names. I suspect though that your observations are correct. Unusual characters can often cause issues in a variety of ways, illegal characters in your filenames for example can cause the video not to be found at all or in some cases simply not play. If you are using ie instead of safari for example the  in my welcome my well not display properly whereas others will clearly see it as an apple symbol.

[Solved] TTY doesn't display special characters correctly

Hello everyone.
I want to set my system language to german. I followed this tutorial: https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Arch_Li … .BCber_HAL
Everything works good except that my TTY can't display special characters. Example:
http://i.imgur.com/ZW6kbOS.png
The is " not showing correctly at the bottom. However, the german umlaut ä works (as you can see).
I have already searched the arch forum. The only thing i have found is setting DAEMON_LOCALE="yes" in rc.conf. However, these post are already quite old and don't solve the my problem (as öäü are working). Additionally, Arch has stopped using rc.conf.
So, what causes this problem and how can i solve it?
Here are my configs:
/etc/locale.conf
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC=
locale -a

en_US.utf8

I'm pretty sure you have to specify font and font map in vconsole.conf
like so:
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
FONT_MAP=8859-2
If that doesn't help it could be this.
If so try to load settings manually, I can't test German setup, but for Polish I could do this to get national characters:
loadkeys pl
setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
that requires to be root/sudo
note that -m 8859-2 part is quite important
edit:
actually got all German symbols to be displayed correctly, though I do not know if they are assigned for right keys for obvious reasons
loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys
setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
read read topic in then link to hopefuly fix why settings are not loaded on boot

Displaying special characters in ALV report.

Hi Experts,
Can we display special characters in ALV reports? Special characters such as tick mark.(Like in character map(Font Bookshelf Symbol 7) of windows ).
I tried with icons in ALV report, I was able to display tick icon in the ALV report, but when we export the report in to a excel, the icons comes in as Hexadecimal code.
Can any we display special characters like tick in ALV report or display the icons in excel aswell?

Display special characters in Workbook / BEx-Query

Hello,
Actually we have the problem to display special characters of the customer number-descriptions in workbooks / BEx-Queries. In the text-table of 0CUST_SALES (/BI0/TCUST_SALES) we can see the special characters in the descriptions for example for Polish names (here: OBI WROCŁAW). But in the reports the special character "Ł" is replaced by "#".
The InfoObjekt is marked as non-language dependent.
In the backend we are already working with BI 7.0. At the front-end-side we are still using the 3.x-toolkit.
Does anybody have an idea?
Kind regards
Daniel

I had this problem with Thai characters.
You need to have a Windows configured with polish chars to see them, I fear.

Is it possible to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In our RoboHelp project, there are figures with text labels such as Figure 1, Figure 3-2, etc.
When I search for "Figure 3" I get all pages containing "Figure" and "3", even if I surround it in quotes. Similarly, searching for "3-2" treats the '-' character as a space and searches for all pages containing '3' or '2'.
Is there a way to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

In that case I think the answer is no if you are using the standard search engine. However I believe that Zoom Search does allow this type of searching. Check out this link for further information.

'Do not encode special characters' preference not working

I have the preferences in Dreamweaver set to "Do not encode
special characters in url'. However, every time I paste a url in
the properties box, when I go to the source code, Dreamweaver has
encoded the special characters, especially the "&". Is there
another setting I have to change somewhere, or is there an update
that fixes this?
Thanks.

I have a Flash Sample to rotate images and text but I not find a way to display special characters

Hello everyone.
I bought a very nice Flash application that rotate images, and text of any color and size. It use an XML input file.
I've posted here, a complete copy, so any of you can download, view and use it freely.
I would appreciate if any of you know how to do, so that the text displayed, including the characters I use in my language (Spanish), such as á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, and other special characters.
In fact, I could not find a way to do it, because I'm not expert Flash, and less in ActionScript.
If any of you would help me on that, I thank you implement the appropriate adjustments and compressed into a. zip file, and let me know where to download it, or if you prefer you can send it to my email: [email protected]
After all compressed in .zip format is a very small file: 430K.
Click here to download the complete sample.
Thanks.

Hello Rinus,
If I understood your last post correctly, then problem 2 is resolved, right?
Regarding problem 3:
I'm not asking you to share exact VIs.
I just want to see a very simple VI that explains the concept of what you're trying to do, what should happen (this can be in words that refer to the front panel elements) and what you've tried.
The terminology you're using isn't clear to me without an extra explanation.
This could even be only a Front Panel with a few buttons on where you just describe what should happen with specific controls/indicators.
Based on the first post it is not clear to me what you mean with:
- A "button element":
Are you talking about a control, an indicator, a cluster that contains multiple control?
- The structure:
Is this an event structure, case structure, for loop, ...?
Is it seems like you want to programmatically control Front Panel objects, which on itself is no problem at all independent of how many objects you want to control.
Please share with me simple example of what goes wrong and explain which things should happen on that specific Front Panel.
This will allow me to help you and also allow me to guide you along the right path.
