Text encoding with non english characters

I'm trying to publish a site in Swedish, a language with 3 extra characters (Ö, Ä, Å). When I try to publish the site I keep getting a 404 error from my ftp server. I have check the site folder contents with webmeastro and it says that the characters are not MacRoman. What text encoding does iWeb 08 use, and how can I get around this problem?
thanks for your help.

Upload text files with non-english characters

I use an Apex page to upload text files. Then i retrieve the contents of files from wwv_flow_files.blob_content and convert them to varchar2 with utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2, but characters like ò, à, ù become garbage.
What could be the problem? Are characters lost when files are stored in wwv_flow_files or when i do the conversion?
Some other info:
* I see wwv_flow_files.DAD_CHARSET is set to "ascii", wwv_flow_files.FILE_CHARSET is null.
* Trying utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_raw.cast_to_raw('àòèù') ) returns 'àòèù' correctly;
* NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter is AL32UTF8 (not just english ASCII)

[AS] Problem with non English characters in file path

I wrote a script that exports a pdf file from ID, rasterizes it in PS, applies an action, saves it as another pdf file, and finally creates a Mail message, and attaches the file to it (the last part is written in AppleScript).
The problem is that it doesn't work when the path to this file contains non English characters.
This works:
make new attachment with properties {file name:"/Volumes/Macintosh HD/BackUp Tetard/Test.pdf"}
but this doesn't:
make new attachment with properties {file name:"/Volumes/Macintosh HD/BackUp Têtard /Test.pdf"}
I remember vaguely that I read somewhere that AppleScript can work with Unicode — in other words with such characters — starting from some version, don't remember which exactly, but it seems to me — Leopard.
I am on Mac OS X 10.4.11 right now. Will updating solve this problem? Does anybody know any solution to this problem: a scripting addition, some hidden setting, etc.
I made a little test: used a Russian character — ё and it works, but when I use — ê (Dutch) it doesn't. May it have something to do with the Region setting in International panel?
Thanks in advance,
Kasyan

Kasyan, as of Leopard AppleScript treats all text as Unicode pre this you can specify 'as Unicode text'. Try a test with these.
-- Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop)
-- Pre Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop as Unicode text)
-- Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (choose file without invisibles)
-- Pre Leopard
set x to POSIX path of ((choose file without invisibles) as Unicode text)

Text to speech non english characters

I like Alex a lot. And I like how I can high text, press a hotkey, and Alex will start reading away.
However, I read material that includes some non English characters. It's -very- annoying when Alex announces what language and alphabet he's reading before saying the sound. It would be so much better if he just said the sound. Or just skipped it. I could live with the latter just fine. Are there any options anywhere to adjust this?

Naming files with non English characters.

I'm using filemaker to creat PDF's through Acrobat 10.1.12. I need to use Polish, Hungarian, Czech and Slovakian characters in the file name but the characters are not recognised and so the file name will not create. This is for Windows, the problem does not occur on a mac.

Problems with non-English characters in iTunes 7.7

Since "upgrading" to iTunes 7.7 every file containing characters not normally found in English (e.g.: å, ß, ç, é, î, ñ, ø, ü, etc.) gets a mane change when iTunes plays the track. For example, a song called "Baião" suddenly becomes "Bai.o" and if the artist or album name contains accented characters, these get scrambled as well. The files themselves also get jettisoned from their folders in the iTunes Library, which causes big problems.

Kasyan, as of Leopard AppleScript treats all text as Unicode pre this you can specify 'as Unicode text'. Try a test with these.
-- Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop)
-- Pre Leopard
set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop as Unicode text)

Non English characters conversion issue in LSMW BAPI Inbound IDOCs

Hi Experts,
We have some fields in customer master LSMW data load program which can
contain non-English characters. We are facing issues in LSMW BAPI
method with non-English characters Conversion. LMSW steps read and
conversion are showing the non-English characters properly with out any
issue. While creating inbound IDOCs most of the non-English characters
replaced with '#' and its causing issues in creating customer master data in
system. In our scenario customer data with non-English characters in
the first name, last name and address details. Any specific setting
needs to be done from our side? Please suggest me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

If your language is a unicode tehn you need to change the options like IN SAP you need to change it to unicode in the initial screen Customize local layout(ALT F12) options 118 --> Encoding ....

Wrong sorting of non-English characters (iTunes 11.2)

Since version 11.2 of iTunes, there is a problem with sorting of names with non-English characters (such as ž, š, č, ř or other in Czech). It seems that iTunes completely omits these characters when sorting. As an example, I have Čajkovskij (which is the Czech spelling of Tchaikovsky) among artists in my library and it is currently sorted between Adele and Alan Parsons Project, i.e. it seems that the character Č has been completely omitted while sorting and thus the artist is sorted as Ajkovskij.
All my ID3 tags are of version 2.3 and in Unicode, thus this should not be any encoding problem. I even tried to change the ID3 tags to version 2.4, i.e. UTF-8, and it did not help.
I think that there must be many more people experiencing this problem. Not everyone has only English or ASCII names in the library and I am surprised that I could not find anything on this bug anywhere on the net yet.
Thanks for any help on this.

Looks like a bug in the latest build. See this recent thread.
You could report the problem via iTunes Feedback or sign up for a free Apple Developer Connection account and make use of Apple Bug Reporter.

Removing non-English characters from data.

Ours is global system with some data with non-English characters. We want to download file by removing this non-English characters.
Any suggestions how we can remove these non-English characters from file..?

The FM u said
     Replace non-standard characters with standard characters
   Functionality
     SCP_REPLACE_STRANGE_CHARS processes a text so that it only contains
     simple characters. Special characters and national characters are
     replaced in such a way that the text remains reasonably legible.
     The character set 1146 is used by default. In this case the following
     replacements are made, for example:
      Æ ==> AE        (AE)
      Â ==> A         (Acircumflex)
      Ä ==> Ae        (Adieresis)
      £ ==> L         (sterling)
     Note that the new text can be longer than the old.
So i dont think it ll be useful for eliminating the sp. chars.
U have to check each and every alphabet with std 26 alphabets
Thanks & Regards

Replace non-english characters function

Hi folks,
I have a text which includes non english characters. Is there any trick, how can I replace those characters with "closest" english character?
Examples:
"Hytölä" to become "Hytola"
"Säynatsälo" to become "Säynatsälo"
etc ...
I was thinking about usage of REGEXP
select regexp_replace('Hytölä Säynatsälo ', '[^0-9A-Za-z]', '') from dual
but a pattern is not correct.
Any suggesitons?

There is something that smells like a hack for me (source: replace characters with accent with their base letter)
However
with data as (
select 'Hytölä' str from dual
union all
select 'Säynatsälo' from dual
select
str
,utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(nlssort(str, 'NLS_SORT=BINARY_AI')) nstr
,length(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(nlssort(str, 'NLS_SORT=BINARY_AI'))) l
from data
STR
NSTR
L
Hytölä
hytola
7
Säynatsälo
saynatsalo
11
Notice that change in length through an extra null bit at the end of the strings.
And the loss of the uppercase.
For this kind of questions it's helpful to know about the requirements. Why there shuóuld be a baseletter conversion? For search purposes for example.
not to forget the db characterset.

Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

Hello guys,
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
"ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office).
The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.
Thank you very much for any help.
Tom

Hi Tom,
VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
character.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
Hex   Dec
ř 159   345
ů 016F 367
So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)

Customer Mss Upload with non ENGLISH language

Hi,
I have a BDC program which uploads customer Address data into the system.
Now I have some customer data with non english characters like chinese and Japanese. If I try to upload this data with english language LOGON then data doesnt updates correctly but if I use the corresponding language logon and upload the same data then it works fine.
Is there any ways I can upload these non english customer data with english system logon using BDCs or do I need to use any other approach?

Hi Benson,
Can you please elaborate on the issue. What characters are missing?

Encoding non english characters with utf 8 on jsp (Critical!!)

I am inserting hebrew characters from JSP into oracle db and everything is fine until this point. But when I try to retrieve the information from the database, the characters are not displayed properly (I get some garbage characters). I am sure that the data stored in the database is correct, but not sure why there is a problem in displaying the data in the JSP.
I came across a thread on TSS
http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28944
and followed the suggestions given there like having
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">and also this
<%
//Some JDBC and sql statement query UTF-8 data and then ...
String str = rs.getString("utf8_data");
str = new String(str.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
%>
<%= str %>Now, the data getting displayed is partly correct, I mean to say, some characters are still coming as squares.
Any ideas will be of great help.

even i doubt the database charset for this issue. But what I dont understand is how only certain hebrew characters are getting stored properly and why others are corrupted?
Also, can anyone let me know how i can view the Non-English characters present in the database directly, as TOAD is not able to display them
