TextEdit doesn't display UTF-8 characters corrrectly
I have a plain text file with some German umlauts, encoded in UTF-8. When I select this file in the Finder, the umlauts are displayed correctly in the Preview. However, if I double click on that file to have it loaded into the TextEdit program, the umlauts are displayed incorrectly.
The screenshot at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/etc/mac-osx-utf-8-bug.png shows the Finder's window in the background, and the TextEdit window in the foreground.
When I explicitly load the file into the TextEdit program, with "Plain Text Encoding" set to "Unicode (UTF-8)" the text is displayed correctly. Only with "Automatic" it doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is this an actual bug in TextEdit?

Well, the "Notepad" editor on Windows XP does it
correctly with both UTF-8 and ISO8859-1 umlauts.
I think Notepad identifies UTF-8 correctly because Windows (unlike other OS's) puts a BOM at the start of UTF-8 files. Normally you only see this at the start of UTF-16 files, which many text editors can identify correctly.
However, if the Mac user clicks on our German
README text file and has "Plain text file encoding"
set to "Automatic" (which apparently is the default),
he sees broken umlauts.
Yes I think Automatic means MacRoman. One possible solution is to use either rtf or html for the readme. I think the encoding for these will be recognized correctly. You could also try putting a BOM at the start of your UTF-8 plain text file.
I was unter the impression that "UTF-8" was the
plain text format on the Mac
No, OS X stores data internally as UTF-16. Anything using xml will be UTF-8, and that's now the default encoding in Mail for lots non-Roman scripts, but otherwise the other encodings seem to have pretty equal status.

Vim doesn't display correctly utf8 characters
Hi,
I don't use an utf8 locale, but some files (like latex sources of my reports) are in utf8 for compatibility with other pcs. Since a while, but i cannot recall exactly when (normally, I don't use vi for latex), it doesn't display correctly such files. Emacs does, kate does, but not vim. I tried to set encoding and file-encoding in vim, but it didn't fix the issue. Any clue? Is vim broken?
Related question. It is safe to switch to utf8 locale (I mean, in rc.conf) months after the installation?
domanovlang2 wrote::set enc=utf8
It didn't work (as i said in my previous post).
I changed from it_IT@EURO to it_IT.UTF8 in rc.conf, restarted and now vim is fine (the corresponding line in locale.gen was already uncommented and I rerun locale-gen just to be sure). Now man pages are really ugly, even worse if I erase the option -Tlatin1 from NROF line in man.conf (as suggested in the man.conf manual). Ok, let's deal with that, now.
Do I risk to broke anything more important? Shall i convert to utf-8 all the text files in /home, /etc and so on?? -
Hello all - I'm having a bit of trouble with my current project. I'm adding international support to it, I have an XML file with all the translated strings in UTF-8 format. I read it in using the following code:
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(name);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(in,"UTF8");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
String line = new String();
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null){
buf.append(line);
buf.append('\n');
return buf.toString();The string buffer is then sent off to be chopped up and parsed and displayed. However, for all non-latin characters, I get a question mark in a diamond. this code works in a very similar project, so I'm unsure why it is not working now, when almost all the program components are the same.
Any ideas?
thanks!
JakeSo the only thing that has changed is the operating system on which you are running this system?
If that's the case then it's possible that you were (accidentally or otherwise) converting between bytes and strings using the default charset on the non-Apple machine, and this happened to work for some reason. And on the Apple machine perhaps the default charset is different, and that applecart (sorry!) got upset.
And have you checked that you can actually display non-ASCII characters on your GUI setup from a simple program where you just hard-code those characters? -
[SOLVED] Urxvt + Inconsolata Displaying UTF-8 Characters Incorrectly
I use the Inconsolata font with urxvt and have noticed that some characters are displayed improperly. For example, an "en dash" (U+2013) appears as a capital N with a tilde over it. It appears that this is because Inconsolata doesn't support anything other than the basic latin characters. Is there any way to allow urxvt to "fall back" on another font for rendering those specific characters?
Last edited by aclindsa (2012-03-16 16:42:35)Unfortunately, the "-fn" switch (or *font: in .Xresources) does not seem to work properly with Inconsolata. For example, if I do the following:
urxvt -fn "xft:Terminus"
The characters display properly, but if I add Inconsolata ahead of that, like so:
urxvt -fn "xft:Inconsolata,xft:Terminus"
I get the garbage characters. I have experimented with different "fallback" fonts in all different orders, sizes, etc. and whenever Inconsolata is first, I see the garbage chars. The more I look into it, the more it looks like the wrong characters are being reported to urxvt for Inconsolata. -
X11 won't display UTF-8 characters (using Kbabel)
Hello everyone
Boy, the discussion lists have changed! Forums are a good idea, though.
I'm a volunteer open-source translator, and the most effective translation editor for us is Kbabel. (LocFactoryEditor [1] for OSX is very good, though. I use it continually, and BBEdit [2] for CVS/SVN management of translation files.)
When I installed Kbabel, everything went OK, but when I tried to open a PO (Portable Object, translation file format, basically a text file) file, the translations in my language (Vietnamese) were just gibberish. None of the accented characters displayed correctly. Since my language is pretty much all accented characters, this was a critical problem. Characters entered had the same problem. No readable data in, no readable data out, no translation possible.
I had set my X11 prefs to inherit my keyboard choice, and had chosen the right keyboard. I have Lucida Grande set as my default font, and it handles Vietnamese very well.
This was months ago. I reported it as a bug against Kbabel, but with investigation, we found it was an X11 problem. I was told at the time (sorry, I can't remember the reference) that this was a known X11 bug, which Apple had not yet fixed. Judging by the continuing mess when I try to use Kbabel now, it hasn't been fixed.
How do we track bugs reported to Apple, or continuing problems of this type? Do you think this is really the problem, or is there another way to solve it?
Any help very much appreciated.

Displaying UTF chinese characters
Here's my code
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
DropWindow dw = new DropWindow() {
public void runFile(File f, Object[] extras) {
try {
String str = IOUtils.readFileAsString(f);
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
System.out.println("char[" + i + " ] = " + (int)str.charAt(i));
sb.append(str);
catch (IOException iox) {
iox.printStackTrace();
JPanel jp = new JPanel() {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawString(sb.toString(), getWidth() / 2, getHeight() / 2);
dw.add(jp);
WindowUtilities.visualize(dw);when I run this I get
char[0 ] = 20320
char[1 ] = 22909
char[2 ] = 13
char[3 ] = 10
in the command line. On the screen I get 2 squares where I'm hoping my chinese characters will be.
Is it just that I'm not using an international version of java? I just went to the download page and it seems like all java versions are international now. Could it be that my font can't represent the characters?
How can I paint chinese characters?I don't understand. 'Arial' will never display Chinese. In JRE1.6, the only font I know that displays Chinese is "AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni". In 1.5 there was a second one but that seems to have been removed.

Dear Sirs,
I have an issue in displaying UTF-8 characters in Internet explorer 6.

Any language characters(like chinese,tamil etc) perfectly dispaying in firebox browser.
But in internet explorer, the characters are not displaying.it displays like ?! ..
Could any body help me out?
Thanks
mulaimaranThanks Viravan,
But, I have added this line in my jsp before html tag.
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
After html tag,i added this meta tag.
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
So, the UTF-8 encoding is capable to show different language characters in firebox browser.
But In Internet Explorer 6 other language characters not displaying..

Display of Chinese Characters in Flash Video
'''Help needed to resolve issue with display of chinese fonts in Firefox.'''
I used to be able to run an html based chinese language learning program (with embedded Flash) in Firefox on my Galaxy Nexus mobile...that is until I installed the latest version of Firefox.
These are the instructions that came with the program to install/run it:
This site is best viewed with Mozilla FireFox 3.x+ (and above) with either Adobe Flash Player 8+ (and above) at a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768. We also recommend that you enable both JavaScript and Cookies in your chosen browser's settings. Obviously things have moved on since then and the version of Firefox I installed around May 2013 would have been around 22.0
While the above appear to be targeted at computer/tablet platforms the program ran successfully on my mobile and the embedded flash video worked well. The video clips and accompanying audio for each lesson were also accompanied by text that updated as each speaker began conversing. This text could be displayed (by selection) in English, Pinyin or Chinese characters.
With an upgrade to the latest version of Firefox the Chinese characters now no longer display although 'English' fonts do...why? Is this a character encoding issue? Can this be set? What has changed between version 22 or thereabouts that I installed in May 2013 and the current version. Someone must surely know ??? If this cant be fixed, how can I re-install an older version of Firefox on my mobile. As an aside
I was able to download firefox-22.0.bundle, some bundle.parts and .source files along with Firefox Setup 3.6.28.exe but cant install any of these. HELP needed please.Hello,
Can you please confirm that this is the summary of the issue you are facing
#On a site using Flash, and using Firefox 22.0, you were able to view English, Pinyin, Chinese characters on the flash video
#You upgraded Firefox to the latest version from the play store, and also have the latest Flash version, but the same Flash video doesn't display the Chinese characters now
#You are looking for the older version of Firefox for Android so that you can confirm that this issue has something to do with the latest version of Firefox
For the last point, you can download the Android APKs of the older versions from the following links
#[https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/22.0/android/en-US/ Android APK for Firefox 22.0 in English]
#[https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/22.0/android-armv6/en-US/ Android APK for Firefox 22.0 in English for Arm V6]
Please do note that you will need to enable the 'Install from unknown sources' option on the Android device to be able to install this APK. Suggest that you disable the setting after you finish your testing.
Please confirm the details above and we can help you resolve the issue.

[SOLVED] urxvt doesn't display correctly some special characters
Hello everyone,
I have a weird issue with urxvt. For some reason it doesn't display correctly some special character.
Here is a comparison between xfce4-terminal and rxvt-unicode (I used theses characters as exemple):
xfce4-terminal :
urxvt :
And here is my .XDefaults file (without the color and the plugin part, since it's unrelevant):
!Font
URxvt.font: xft:PragmataPro:pixelsize=11:antialias=false
!General
URxvt.scrollBar: false
URxvt*imLocale: fr_CH.UTF-8
URxvt.saveLines: 5000
URxvt.geometry: 95x26+50+50
Has someone an idea what the problem could be?
Thank's in advance.
Last edited by mwm (2013-11-13 13:15:48)This is what I think is happpening.
PragmataPro may not contain those glyphs. It appears to have a wide array of glyphs but it is not unicode complete.
Xfce-terminal is a vte terminal. When a glyph cannot be found in the desired font, it will find the glyph in the 'closest' font. Urxvt will only use the glyphs in the font or fonts specified. If PragmataPro does not contain the glyphs, urxvt will display boxes.
You can give urxvt a series of fonts to search. It will search for a glyph through the listed fonts in the order you specify. Here's an example from my urxvt configs:
urxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false:size=8, \
xft:WenQuanYi Bitmap Song:size=8, \
xft:FreeSerif:style=Regular, \
xft:unifont:style=Medium:antialias=false
I couldn't use FreeSerif or unifont as a main font, but for an occasional glyph, it works for me. This file, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/exam … 8-demo.txt, can be displayed in urxvt correctly, with only a few unknow glyphs showing as boxes in the Amharic section. -
ColdFusion won't display unicode (utf-8) characters
I have a very basic page with some unicode characters in it. ColdFusion won't properly display them. If I resave the page as .html (so the coldfusion server doesn't process it), the characters display fine.
Below is my page. Notice that the charset is set to utf-8.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5. Running IIS 7 and CF 9.
The text "why isn’t this working" has a smart apostrophe that DOES NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY when run through CF. I've searched around and all I see is that CF has unicode "turned on by default" but no where can I find where to make sure it is set.

</html>it seems that having cfprocessingdirective in every template is a documented best-practice in the CFWACK (Vol 2). I learned something new today.
God, really? Who came up with that?
One needs to put it in any file that has characters with "ASCII" codes higher than 127, so as to forewarn the compiler to expect them. I also dunno why one can't just tell the compiler "treat all files this way". It's daft not to.
Anyway, most CFM files - which ought to contain just code - shouldn't have a problem because code won't generally have anything outside the 0-127 range; just the odd hard-coded value. So to recommend to put it at the top of every file is just stupid. Put it in the files that need it. That's it.
As to why it needs to go in the file itself rather than somewhere "upstream" in the request - like OnRequestStart() or something is that this tag - unlike most - is a compile time directive (as opposed to runtime). And at compile time, CF is not running the code, it's just compiling it, so it doesn't know anything about the sequence in which files will be called (indeed it's not actually the CFM files themselves being called anyhow).

Onscreen keyboard doesn't display all characters in QWERTY mode in iOS7
Since installing iOS7, the onscreen keyboard has been sluggish. Tonight, all of a sudden, the onscreen keyboard doesn't display all characters on the keys in QWERTY mode - only the B, N, comma, and period keys show their characters on their key face. All of the other white keys are blank. When you press one of the blank keys, the character does display on the key face momentarily and does show in the text box that you are typing in. This only seems to occur in QWERTY mode. If you switch to QWERTZ or AZERTY software keyboard layouts, the keys do display their characters on their key face. If you split the keyboard in QWERTY mode the all keys display normally. This occurs in any application.

Running app doesn't display unicode chars
So far, i didn't care about character encodings. When i setup a string in java i just used my special characters, like e.g. the german umlauts:
String text = "�usserlich �berhaupt nicht sch�n."; //html: Äusserlich überhaupt nicht schön Then i changed the file encoding in my IDE (eclipse) to UTF-8. The first time i reloaded my source files, i had to replace my texts by retyping my special charaters in the source. I thought that would have been enough.
But now, such text doesn't display anymore in a Swing component like a JTextField - instead the special characters are replaced by weird (sometimes multiple) other characters.
The only workaround i've found so far is, to replace all special characters in my source code with the corresp�onding unicode code character "\uxxxx" (backslash + u + 4 chars). But then this would be a step back writing text in the source code. I thought it would be easier to use Unicode ...?This post should be under iCloud on the Mac, not icloud.com. If any moderator can move it, that would be great.

Crystal Report 9 - Can't Display UTF-8 Data
Dear Sir,
I am using PHP with Crystal Report 9.2 and has problem displaying UTF-8 data from MSSQL field. It shows weird characters instead. I am very sure the data stored in database is in UTF-8 because when I ouput it into the web browser with encoding as UTF-8, it shows correctly. Currently is using ADODB recordset to pass data into CR. I tried using ODBC to connect directly to database and preview the data - same issue.
Now I wonder whether are there any settings need to be done in CR in order to display unicode correctly? From what I read, CR 9 and above should be able to support unicode.
Thanks
ALTo be honest, I have no idea if TTX files supported UTF-8... I kinda doubt it. I'd check, but the only person I knwo of that may have a clue is not in until September 28...
Re. ODBC, see if adding the following option to your DSN entry in the odbc.ini file will help:
stmt = SET CHARACTER SET utf8
Also, if I remember right, MS SQL does not install UTF-8 support by default (at least at one time or another it did not...(?).
Oh - one more thing. I've attached a non CR app that I'd like you to use to see what the data it returns looks like. Please give that a try.

the built-in keyboard on my macbook is not functioning right, the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers,
the caps button doesn't work at all, the letter buttons display capitals when pushed whether the caps button is on or off, the shift keys are also out of whack!!
It seems it somehow got relocated to the "0" button because if you push and hold the zero button down the keyboard seems to operate normally, the number keys display numbers when pushed the letter keys display lower case when pushed but release the zero button and your back in the twilight zone!! Can anybody help me resolve this issue? one more thing im using an external usb keyboard right now and it seems to function properly if that helps any.You would do better in the actual macbook pro forums (this is not).
