Supporting Special Language Characters

If you have had difficulty composing emails in languages other than English, please know that Verizon is working to quickly address the issue in both Message Center and the Rich Version of Classic Webmail.
Additionally, you may want to confirm that your Operating System is configured to support your preferred language. You can do so by following the steps below (for Windows based Operating Systems):
1. Start menu button
2. Control Panel
3. Regional & Language Options
4. Select the language of your choice
Thank you,

I figured out the problem, and I never would've guessed it. The problem seems to be with qingy. Whenever I start X from qingy with .xsession, special characters do no work in urxvt. If I launch it from normal agetty I can use all special characters in urxvt. I never would've thought qingy was the problem, but is there a way to fix this? Or should this be considered as some kind of bug? As I'd like to continue to use qingy, but only if I can fix this problem.
EDIT: I should mention that if I launch Console from qingy and then run startx everything works. The only difference I know of is that startx uses .xinitrc, while qingy starts X using .xsession. Both files are identical, so I don't know what's causing this.

  • Special language characters in Urxvt

    I can't make special characters for my language (norwegian characters, to be specific) display in urxvt terminal. Nothing happens when I try to type them. This works perfectly in xterm. Anyone got any advice? I went through the urxvt man, but I couldn't spot anything relevant.

  • Entering special language characters in JSF

    I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 to develop a JSF/ADF application. My database is using the AL32UTF8 character set. If the following is entered into an af:inputText field....
    Podmiotowi w 2 okresie leczenia proszę
    ... when the record is saved it changes ...
    proszę to prosz + (what I guess is the unicode representation of the last character "&#281")
    .... and this is what is being stored in the database. This would be ok, but when the record is displayed again in the browser, it is not resolving the unicode back to the correct character.
    How do I allow the entry of these special characters and have them correctly displayed on the web page after saving ? I also have a similar problem with Hungarian and Polish.
    Many thanks,
    Brent Harlow

    Hi Shay,
    Thanks for that. I had set the compiler project properties and the locale of the browser but I was missing the encoding within the JSF page.
    Once I changed
    <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"/>
    and
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
    to use "text/html;charset=UTF-8", it worked a treat.
    Many thanks for the help !
    Cheers,
    Brent

  • HTML Encoding of output with special language characters ie. Umlaut

    Greetings,
    Application: Crystal Reports XI RDC Runtime engine.

    Ludek,
    The following link http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crXI_rdc_merge_modules.zip would be the correct update pack link I am looking for.
    http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp
    As it is the runtime engine, not the crystal developer that is having the problem.
    For completeness I have upgraded my developer CR XI Release 1 to SP4.

    I will post again later today, once all the upgrading has been completed.

  • Problem inserting text with special Hungarian characters into MySQL database

    When I insert text into my MySQL db the special Hungarian
    characters (ő,ű) they change into "?".
    When I check the
    <cfoutput>#FORM.special_character#</cfoutput> it gives
    me the correct text, things go wrong just when writing it into the
    db. My hosting provider said the following: "please try to
    evidently specify "latin2" charset with "latin2_hungarian_ci"
    collation when performing any operations with tables. It is
    supported by the server but not used by default." At my former
    hosting provider I had no such problem. Anyway how could I do what
    my hosting provider has suggested. I read a PHP related article
    that said use "SET NAMES latin2". How could I do such thing in
    ColdFusion? Any suggestion? Besides I've tried to use UTF8 and
    Latin2 character encoding both on my pages and in the db but with
    not much success.
    I've also read a French language message here in this forum
    that suggested to use:
    <cfscript>
    setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
    setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
    </cfscript>
    <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    I' ve changed the utf-8 to latin2 and even to iso-8859-2 but
    didn't help.
    Thanks, Aron

    I read that it would be the most straightforward way to do
    everything in UTF-8 because it handles well special characters so
    I've tried to set up a simple testing environment. Besides I use CF
    MX7 and my hosting provider creates the dsn for me so I think the
    db driver is JDBC but not sure.
    1.) In Dreamweaver I created a page with UTF-8 encoding set
    the Unicode Normalization Form to "C" and checked the include
    unicode signature (BOM) checkbox. This created a page with the meta
    tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
    charset=utf-8" />. I've checked the HTTP header with an online
    utility at delorie.com and it gave me the following info:
    HTTP/1.1, Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8, Server:
    Microsoft-IIS/6.0
    2.) Then I put the following codes into the top of my page
    before everything:
    <cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = "utf-8">
    <cfset setEncoding("URL", "utf-8")>
    <cfset setEncoding("FORM", "utf-8")>
    <cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    3.) I wrote some special Hungarian chars
    (<p>őű</p>) into the page and they displayed
    well all the time.
    4.) I've created a simple MySQL db (MySQL Community Edition
    5.0.27-community-nt) on my shared hosting server with phpMyAdmin
    with default charset of UTF-8 and choosing utf8_hungarian_ci as
    default collation. Then I creted a MyISAM table and the collation
    was automatically applied to my varchar field into wich I stored
    data with special chars. I've checked the properties of the MySQL
    server in MySQL-Front prog and found the following settings under
    the Variables tab: character_set_client: utf8,
    character_set_connection: utf8, character_set_database: latin1,
    character_set_results: utf8, character_set_server: latin1,
    character_set_system: utf8, collation_connection: utf8_general_ci,
    collation_database: latin1_swedish_ci, collation_server:
    latin1_swedish_ci.
    5.) I wrote a simple insert form into my page and tried it
    using both the content of the form field and a hardcoded string
    value and even tried to read back the value of the
    #FORM.special_char# variable. In each cases the special Hungarian
    chars changed to "q" or "p" letters.
    Can anybody see something wrong in the above mentioned or
    have an idea to test something else?
    I am thinking about to try this same page against a db on my
    other hosting providers MySQL server.
    Here is the to the form:

  • Language Characters in File Name

    Hi All,
    Need your help to solve a problem which I face in my current interfac. I am currently working on SFTP to File scenario where we use Advantco SFTP Adapter. The problem is SFTP sender adapter doesn't process the files which have Language characters in the File Name. No errors are thrown and no processing of the file happens in Message Monitoring. One probable option which I already tried was to use the text encoding but that works on the content and not the file name. Just wanted to check if any body can help in suggesting some solution. Also, even for content is there a need to change the encoding for Language characters or they should be left as Binary Type. PI  is SAP PI 7.11.
    How does the standard SAP PI File Adapter handle scenario with File Name having language characters. Is it correctly processed or how do we handle that for correct processing, may be the same can be applied for SFTP adapter.
    Best Regards,
    Pratik

    Hi Pratik,
    Under certain operating system platforms, such as Solaris, the
    APIs used by the Java Runtime (JRE) are not Unicode-aware.       
    Consequently, the JRE needs to be configured to correctly        
    interpret the character set it receives from the operating       
    system.                                                          
    This is configured through the "file.encoding" system property as
    well as the "LANG" environment variable.                         
    Make sure you set "file.encoding" to a character set (such as    
    ISO-8859-1) that supports the special characters you would like  
    to process. This system property can be configured by appending  
    "-Dfile.encoding=adm user: setenv LANG de.ISO8859-1. For additional details  
    on 'How to Work with Character Encodings in PI' the following    
    guide can also be followed:

    .cm.docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42       
    I hope this helps.

  • Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

    Hi all,
    I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
    The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
    Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
    This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
    Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
    We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
    When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
    Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
    Thanks.
    Florian

    Hi!
    No, it's not a Unicode system.
    It is maintained as:
    Tar.          Lang.        Lang.        Output Format                           Dev. type
    Format
    PDF     EN     English                                                     PDF1
    Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
    All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.
    Thanks,
    Florian

  • Importing WORD document with special regional characters in RoboHelp X5

    Hello,
    i have a problem, when im importing a *.doc document. The
    document is written in slovene and it contains special regional
    characters. Here is the deal:
    I was using RoboHelp 4.0 before and i had this same problem.
    What i did was, when i added a new topic (imported *.doc file) into
    existing project and the WebHelp was generated, in the web browser
    i clicked the last added topic and opened a source code, where i
    changed the charset from 1252 to 1250. That enabled the special
    characters to be viewed correctly. When i imported some additional
    topics and generated the WebHelp again, the program somehow "saved"
    the 1250 setting in the previous topics and the characters were
    correctly shown. I had to adjust 1250 only in the new topics, that
    were added before the last generate.
    When i try to do the same in RoboHelp X5, this doesnt work.
    Program doesnt "remember" the 1250 setting and it always generates
    with 1252 character setting. Which is a problem, because there are
    a lot of topics and i would have to change the character setting
    for every topic/doc document i added.
    What can i do ?
    Thanks in advance

  • FDM - Errors with Foreign Language Characters in Load Files

    For our Netherlands data import file, our source account decriptions contain the character "ë". The account decription is not loaded to HFM, but we are receiving error messages when importing. Is there a way to ignore foreign language characters? Another post suggested "Administration", "Configuation Settings", "File Encoding Type" then set to "Unicode", but the version I am using does not have this option. Version is 11.1.1.3.
    Thank you!
    Melody

    Hello Melody,
    If you are using FDM v11.1.1.3.00 the file-encoding is defaulted to Unicode. It might be helpful to contact support.
    It could be your DB isn't setup to handle unicode characters (in this event the information would be stored in the SQL*Loader or MSSQL Logs). It could also be the file you are trying to import actually isn't "unicode" but more of a local ANSI/ASCII format.
    Most 'European' characters were supported in that release; and I know several clients that use it as expected.
    Thank you,

  • Junk symbols for asian language characters in PO PDF

    Hi,
    We have a custom program to generate the PO output and I have changed it to send the PO output to multiple emails/users using the steps given in the below link.
    The issue I'm facing is that when the PDF is generated and emailed,if I open the PDF in the email,for asian language characters in the PO data,I see wierd symbols.
    Has anyone faced this issue?
    This is happening for even the standard PO output/email which is sent out which indicates that this is something with the WINDOWS/ADOBE settings .
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    You have to make sure that the spool was created by the correct device type which does support
    the language, you can change to the cascading device type SWINCF in SPAD, all unicode characters
    can be handled by this device type, note 812821.
    Secondly, goto SCOT-> Settings-> Device Types for Format Converstion, here you must set the
    correct device type too, you can change the device type to also SWINCF here for the used form language.

  • Does Oracle 9i Lite supports Thai language?

    We are developing mobile application[residing in a laptop] using java and Oracle 9i lite version [Release 5.0.2]. The application has English and Thai version. After we upload all the data[thai and english phrases] to Oracle lite from server [residing in Sun Solaris, Oracle 91] we were able to see the Thai characters in mobile, but for some phrases there is an extra English character amended to the phrase. We are not doing any char conversion here, just collecting the data from server and inserting to lite version DB.
    Entries in polite.ini are,
    [All Databases]
    DatabaseID=501
    DataDirectory=C:\oracle\ora90\Mobile\Sdk\OLDB40
    NLS_LOCALE=ENGLISH
    MessageFile=C:\oracle\ora90\Mobile\Sdk\BIN\OLITE40.MSB
    DBCharEncoding=Native
    When i ran through the release document for Oracle9i Lite Release 5.0.2, i can relalize that it is not supporting Thai language. Correct me if i am wrong.
    Did any of the latest Lite version supports Thai language. How about 10g? Or any alternatives is there in Release 5.0.2 itself.
    Thanks and looking forward for your reply.
    Best Regards,
    Muthu

    Hello,
    I am not sure to understand your question.
    Oracle Lite is a SQL Database , and you can access it from Oracle Application Server using the correct JDBC driver and then use the JSP Tag libs to access the data (JSTL SQL) or any JDBC API in J2EE.
    If I am not answering your question please add more details about what you are trying to achieve...
