Unicode character can't display in smartforms.

Hi everybody!
When I type some unicode character (like ổ ữ...) into a text in smartforms, that character can't display it converted to "?". I don't know how to display it.
Thank!

Make sure you use Cyrillic fonts for displaying unicode characters.
Mostly, if you preview this character on non-unicode enable printer it may display as junk character.
Close the thread once your question is answered.

Unicode character doesn't display integral symbol

I tried using unicode character 222B in my program to get the integral symbol.
It works well in jdk1.2, but if i try to run the same program in jdk1.3 , it's returning delta symbol.
What is the possible solution, such that i get the integral symbol in jdk1.3 as well as both?

Hi Viru,
Have a look at this piece of code:
import java.awt.*;
public class CharacterTest
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Frame f = new ApplicationFrame("Character test")
               public void paint(Graphics g)
                    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
                    g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
                    Font font = new Font("Arial Unicode MS", Font.PLAIN, 32);
                    g2.setFont(font);
                    g2.drawString("Character \u222B", 40, 80);
          f.setVisible(true);
[\code]
I don't have any problems using 32.

Unicode character not displaying when PDF is created using PDFMaker

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Our company letterhead contains a special character (Unicode 25AA "Black Small Square"). When a PDF is created of a Microsoft Word document (2003 or 2007) using the PDFMaker, that character is not displayed in Acrobat (shows as whitespace). Strangely enough, if I search for the character in that PDF file using the Acrobat search function (query "u/25AA"), the search finds the character, but again, it is displayed as whitespace.
However, if I create a PDF from that same Word document by printing to Adobe PDF, the character displays correctly in Acrobat. Additionally, if I do a SaveAs to PDF (Using the Microsoft plugin), the character displays correctly in Acrobat. This leads me to believe that muy issue is related to the PDFMaker (as opposed to the PDF printing function) and how the character is embedded into the PDF file. I have tried opening the PDF in other versions of Acrobat, but I get the same result.
Any suggestions? We would like to utilize the convenience of the PDFMaker for our letters and reports, and not have to use the print function. I can email a sample of all the PDF's I spoke of upon request, but the issue should be reproducable using the following steps:
1. Open MS Word and type (or copy from the Character Map) unicode character 25AA in Arial font.
2. Save Word file.
3. Use PDFMaker to create PDF file.
4. Open PDF file and view results.
Any guidance or help is appreciated.
Phil Hinton

First, check the fonts in the PDF to be sure that they are not embedded (you are likely correct that there is a problem). What job settings are you using. Try the press or print. Also check the job settings to be sure that ALL fonts are to be embedded.
Also, check the log file of Distiller (set it to not be deleted in the settings). If there is an issue with the license of the font then the font will not be embedded. In that case you need to find a licensed version of the font or change to a different font.

Can't display non-unicode font

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Thanks for providing those valuable information. it does help to understand some international issue.
however, I am not sure if it apply to Symbol font such as Wingdings, webdings.
    Font fontPalatino = new Font( "Palatino LinoType", Font.PLAIN, 25); //unicode font
    Font fontMapInfo = new Font( "MapInfo Transportation", Font.PLAIN, 25); // non-unicode font
    Font fontWingdings = new Font( "Wingdings", Font.PLAIN, 25);
          // use integer number and convert into equivalent character
          // e.g. if i is 65 then c is A.
          // notes: 65 is a decimal value converted from hex 0041 value
          int i = 65;
          char c = (char)i;
          System.out.println( new Character(c).toString() );
          JLabel jlbl = new JLabel();
          jlbl.setFont(fontSymbol);
          jlbl.setText( new Character(c).toString() );1) I can't display any Wingdings font , any expert can help on this?
2) what is the difference between 0021(character code for Arial font) and 0x21(character code for Wingdings font) shown in character map?

When I try to use Symbol font and display it in
JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Much of that article is now incorrect or unnecessary for JDK 1.5. Because 1.5 knows how to find a font for the character you're trying to display, you should be able to set your label font to any logical font, and the JRE should find a substitute font if necessary that can display the character.
I'll give your code a try and will post results...is the code you've posted the code I should actually experiment with? It seems like you should want to display something different than 0x0065.
Your other questions:
0x0021 is the exclamation mark regardless of font. I see what you mean, however, since the wingdings font in charmap also says 0x0021. However, that mapping is obviously not a Unicode code point mapping.
I looked in the Misc. Symbols and Dingbats section of Uncode. A few characters might be a reasonable substitution for the pencil character you want:
0x270E (LOWER RIGHT PENCIL)
0x270F (PENCIL)
0x2710 (UPPER RIGHT PENCIL)
I didn't see any mirror images of these, ie LOWER LEFT PENCIL and UPPER LEFT PENCIL, although I admit that I didn't look closely.
Maybe one of these will work for you instead of the Wingdings 0x21 character you mentioned.

Display Unicode Character in Swing Objects

I am trying to display Chinese Characters using Swing GUI.
I created Unicode strings using escape character \uXXXX
I displayed \u4e00 successfully
However when I tried to display \ub8db i got a square box displayed instead.
I am using: Winnt ver 4 ,RichWin 97
private Object listData[] = {
new String("\ucfe3\ub8db"), // Two boxes displayed in list
new String("\u4e01\u4e00"), // Characters displayed correctly
new String("Third selection")
To hope to get some replies ASAP. Thanks!!!

Hi Patrick,
Yeh, fonts are rather ubiquitous when it comes to internationalization. The fact that the font.properties files still exist confuses a lot of people. In reality, Sun doesn't support them any more, and they aren't all that useful if you're actually deploying your code onto other machines.
So, to answer your questions... :D
1) Each component will have a font set on it. To start with, each component will end up with the JDK default, usually the Dialog font in Java. From memory, I think this maps to Arial on Windows systems, though I'm not sure if RichWin alters this in anyway, as I haven't used it myself.
You can check the available fonts on your machine by calling:
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
This returns an array of strings. You can basically create a new font from any of the names that appear in here. For instance, if one of the strings was "Arial Bold", you could create the following font:
Font myFont = new Font("Arial Bold", Font.PLAIN, 12);
2) The best way is to simply create the font you want on startup. If you can't rely on the font
you need being installed on every machine you plan to run your program on, the best solution is to either install it on startup, or carry it around with you.
Have a look at Font.createFont(), as it allows you to create a new Font object from a *.TTF file (a TrueType font). In JDK1.3, this is buggy, leaving a large temp file behind every time you run it, but I've already tried this under Merlin Beta, and it's fixed and working fine.
The reason this is handy is because the font we keep talking about on here, Arial Unicode MS, is a TrueType font. So you can carry the font around with you, and load it on startup using this call.
Arial Unicode MS is a 23Mb font, but it's capable of displaying just about any character you could imagine.
The trick from there, once you've loaded your font, is to make sure you call setFont() on just about any component you create. Menus are a cow - you've got to listen for events, as the dropdown menus don't always get the font straight away. But other than that, it's fairly simple.
3) The short answer is to call the getAvailableFontFamilyNames() call above, and look for any familiar font names. If you can't find any, you know you're not going to be able to display anything.
Windows seems to have standard fonts for the international languages. In Chinese, this is SimHei for Simplified (mainland) Chinese, and MingLiU for Traditional (Taiwanese) Chinese. Simplified covers about 30,000 Kanji, while Traditional covers around 80,000.
So for Chinese, you would look for "SimHei" and "MingLiU", plus any of the fonts capable of displaying anything, like "Arial Unicode MS". If none of these strings are in the array, you may want to carry the Arial Unicode MS installer around with you and execute it. This file is about 11Mb, and is available as a download off the Microsoft website.
4) Probably about the most useful thing I've come across is the Sun I18N tutorial on this very website. There isn't a heck of a lot out there, unfortunately. About the only other things I can recommend are http://www.unicode.org for the Unicode character codes, and http://www.njstar.com for NJStar Communicator, which you'll find useful if you're working with Chinese.
Oh, and watch this forum, of course. ;D
Hope that helps!

** Plz help me in displaying unicode character **

Hi,
I hava a problem with the following code. Actually I want to display some arabic character with the help of unicode. Plz go through the following code.
import java.awt.*;
class Unicode extends Frame
public static void main(String args[])
Frame f = new Frame("Unicode");
f.setSize(200,200);
String str="\u0600";
TextField tf=new TextField(str);
f.add(tf);
f.setVisible(true);
I m trying to print that character on a textfield. However, this is not the requirement but for only testig purpose. I get the character '?' in the resulting textfield. plz tell me that how can I use unicode to print other languages character anywhere like on awt, swing or in html. plz reply soon . Thanks
Fahad Ahmed

\u0600 is an unassigned Unicode character, so there's no way to do that. However I assume you mean you want to display Arabic characters such as \u0627, Arabic Letter Alef (&#x0627). Then you need to find a font that can render those characters properly, and assign that font to the TextField using its setFont() method.
I notice you are using AWT, which probably means you are trying to do this in an applet. If that's the case then "find a font and use it" is going to be a big problem, because you don't know what fonts your clients' computers have available.

DSO content can't display Chinese character

Hello experts,
I extract data from non-sap system (non-unicode) to BW DSO (7.0 unicode).
The DTP, data extraction and the activation all work fine.
However, the content of the DSO can't display the Chinese character.
Is there any setting I miss?
How can it display Chinese character as the data in source system?
Any information is very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Make sure Chinese Language Patch applied on BW system. You can see Chinese does not mean Chinese Language Patch applied.
However, even if Language Patch is not applied, you still can see Chinese in reports via Portal.
Good luck

Hope this helps,

Ah, that explains why i see "European Set"....
One question, Doug: Obviously, you can select only the localization there. Is this PostScript Characters for all languages? Or is it possible to switch to something like true types, e.g. "Wingdings"? (I know, bad example, but i hope you get the point)

How can I display Chinese Character correctly in JSP

Dear Expert,Now I develop web application which using CR report, the development tool is IBM RAD(rational) and the database is DB2 UTF-8. Because need user to input something in JSP, so the programmer use "GB2312" to convert to insert into the database. But when I create the crystal report and view in the web, the Chinese character can't disply correctly, like "???????", even I formated the font in report, doesn't work too.And I set the report JSP charset to "GB2312" or "UTF-8", both of them failed. Following is my JSP seting:<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%%>or <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=GB2312" pageEncoding="GB2312"%%>And I think I must convert the data from database site firstly, then display, but I don't know where I can coding it and how to coding? Could any one tell me how to get it? I use RAD(Rational) as development tools.Thanks so much for your any comments. Many thanks!Steven

Hi Steven, It sounds like you are on the right track to get the Chinese data to appear up correctly in the report. Can you tell me if you are using the JSF viewer or the JSP viewer?From what the developers are telling me the following should work:For JSP viewers to set content type correctly you can either use <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %> Or response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8âu20AC) or simply call viewer.setOwnPage(true); if it not necessary to blend with other pages. For JSF viewer the third option is not available.What does your JSP page code look like? Also, what does the output look like?Finally, one last thing is to ensure that the font you are using in the report is available to the engine at runtime. This will mean that it wll need to be installed on the application server where your JSP page is running. Give this a try and let me know what you find.
