UTF/Unicode support

Hi,
Does Oracle Berkeley DB support unicode/utf-8 charset?
Could you please let me know?
Thanks,
ananth

Hello,
From the Berkeley DB Reference Guide at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/intro/dbisnot.html
Notice that Berkeley DB never operates on the value part of a record.
Values are simply payload, to be stored with keys and reliably
delivered back to the application on demand.
Both keys and values can be arbitrary byte strings, either fixed-length
or variable-length. As a result, programmers can put native programming language data
structures into the database without converting them to a foreign record format first.
If that does not answer your question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Sandra

[SOLVED] Is full UTF-8 supported in unicode-rxvt?

Does urxvt have full UTF-8 support, or it only supports 16 bit unicode characters?
I have set inconsolata font for URXVT adding to .Xdefaults this line: URxvt*font: xft: Inconsolata:pixelsize=17:antialias=True:hinting=True
I can write most characters, like á, ñ, etc. But It looks like characters with codes greater than 16 bits are not printed. E.g.:
- If I open XFCE Terminal (also configured to use Inconsolata font) and input: [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+U,1F600, it outputs the smiling face.
- If I open urxvt ant while holding [CTRL]+[SHIFT] type 1F600, only an empty rectangle is shown.
The same happens for other characters I have tested with codes greater than 16 bit. It works flawlessly though with 16 bit codes. Is there a way to make these characters to work? I need the smileys because of the telegram CLI client...

But I don't think this is a locale problem, because as I already wrote, I can write most characters, including spanish (es_ES) ones like á, Á, ñ, etc.

UTF-16 support

I'd like to determine what non-Latin characters can be displayed on my handset. Using the encoding UTF-16BE does not throw an exception and I can create Latin characters and basic symbols. However when I try Greek, Hebrew, and such the generated strings are blank.
I understand that full UTF-16 support is the manufacturer's preference, however these characters are displayed elsewhere in the UI (e.g. if I change languages). What's more, I've been told the phone UI is written in Java, though I can't confirm.
I imagine the problem could be a one of several levels:
1. The extended characters are accessible through some other encoding, just not UTF-16.
2. My code uses LWUIT, perhaps it cannot render these characters.
3. Extended characters aren't supported on the phone's JVM even though the native UI uses them.

Dude,
UTF-8: I'm looking to represent Asian symbols so unless I'm horribly wrong those aren't in UTF-8.Please have a look at [this UTF8 table|http://www.atm.ox.ac.uk/user/iwi/charmap.html] At my work place we have software that uses Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Greek, Russian and few more and all are achieved using UTF8.
Source values: I've dumbed it down as much as possible, by creating hard coded strings with various byte values. I can be confident in the syntax, endianness, and signed byte issues because a the Latin portion of UTF-16BE works fine. Does it mean that your string has value similar to: u023f,u002d,... and you do parsing of that to a byte array and then creating the String object by using this byte array and correct encoding identifier? Or do you hardcode the string you want to display using the actual characters? In second approach you have to make absolutely sure that your code editor or IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans, ...) use exactly the encoding that you are trying to achieve. Even when the text is correctly displayed on the computer screen does not guarantee that it will be saved and read using the same encoding, which you can appreciate is essential here.
Again I urge to use the UTF8 encoding in order to be sure about the font support. It is the simplest to implement of all Unicodes and for that reason vendors would choose it over any UTF-16.
Java native UI: This is just hearsay I've picked up. If this is the case, it's plausible that Samsung is running a JVM for the UI and another for client games and apps. It certainly makes sense from a mfg cost standpoint. It's sorta immaterial, other than being definite proof that the extended encoding exists in the Java libraries.JVM is a quite sizeable thing to run in order to get the UI. What would be the scenario if your Java UI threw an exception? I am not native app/UI expert, but unless Java is a integral part of the core system (like in Android), UI stays native. Again, I might be wrong here at it really does not matter in the context of your problem.

How to make Solaris 8 UNICODE supported

My Solaris 8 doesn't support UNICODE. That's why, I can't write � in a file.
I think UNICODE support will remove this problem
How to make Solaris 8 UNICODE supported.

In the initial "dtlogin" screen, select a "UTF-8" locale when you login.
You may have to install additional locale files for UTF-8 support from the Solaris "Languages" CD.

Unicode support

It seems there is no way to display UTF-8 encoded ePub files in DE 1.5 correctly. If uncompressed, HTML content looks fine in a browser. In DE all common accented characters are substituted with ? character.
There are two similar topics on this forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6343e
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b60d2d
My ePub file was generated via DocBook XSL Stylesheets and there is no problem to display it in FBReader.
I suppose it is caused by default font, which contains probably very limited range of characters. Unfortunately there is no way to select the better one (as it is possible in FBReader).
Something about changing the default font was "discussed" here: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5e8b7
If I met this issue 10 years ago, I would understand. If anybody in these days offer software for reading text with no support for non-roman languages, it is hard to believe.
What I would suggest is to deliver DE with any very complete font, for example MinionPro (latin, cyrillic, CE, greek etc.). If this is impossible, please add a feature for selecting the default font.
If I am totally wrong, clarification of this issue is welcomed.

Hi Jim--
Thanks very much for the explanation on this...
You know, Adobe could save us all a lot of time if the default faux fonts would include more unicode support....
(I've spent probably a day overall trying to figure out what the issue is, and now I will spend the rest of the day learning/testing embedding a custom font in an epub, just for Digital Editions...)
Even Mobipocket and Kindle are getting these entities right in the three books I'm working on, with their default fonts. (We're not talking about super-obscure characters. Try "Milosevic" with the proper characters, and you get a ? in DE.)
Is there any chance Adobe can get the default fonts smarter in 1.8..?
Thanks for any help/thoughts on this front...I'm sure I don't understand all the issues...it just seems like such an obvious straightforward thing to fix.

Unicode support when round-tripping to XML

Hi all,
Last week, I posted a question on round-tripping the symbol font and got no replies...:-) I'm thinking the question was entirely too generic, so I'd like to now add a little detail of what it appears are my primary options as well as current issues.
We have a math product that requires the use of the Symbol font. I'll use the beta here for an example: b. I have tried several methods to get this to display in Frame properly, save to XML, and open back up into Frame, with no success, as follows:
o Trying to enter it directly somehow into the text, either directly or as the value of a user variable, discussed below.
o Creating an element called "symbol" that is set in the EDD to always display as a Symbol font.
This one doesn't make it to the XML -- which complains about the document containing unsupported characters.
You can explicitly apply this font in Frame and it displays properly, but it does not save to XML and then open back up in Frame. I thought it might, given Frame's supposed implicit Unicode support for XML (the dev and ref guides say you don't need to map anything in the rules or create any entities if you are working in XML as opposed to SGML). Further, I can see that it is defined already in the FrameMaker\Structure\isocents directory:
<!ENTITY beta "β"> 
and also as this:
entity "bgr" is fm char 0x62 in "FmSymbol";
I'm not sure which is being used, but I assume my DTD does not need to define it.
So now I have assumed that you need to enter it into Frame explicitly as a Unicode code point, but I cannot figure out how to do that. Here's what I've tried:
Entering it directly as:
\u03B2
...doesn't display a Greek beta in the regular text, although I can enter it this way into a user variable, and a Greek beta is displayed (temporary Eureka!), but only as the value of the variable in the dialog box -- not when I insert that variable into the text, which simply results in a "?".
Using the File | Utilities | Hex Input enters only a "b" -- not a beta glyph. Although the user guide says you should be able to enter a Unicode code point with this tool, I can't see how to do that. If you manually enter the code point for the Greek symbol beta (62 for UTF-8), all you get is just that: 62.
Using the standard Windows Character Map does enter the beta glyph in Symbol font -- but this does not round-trip.
Entering it as "/b" -- not sure where I read about this -- doesn't display the glyph, but DOES save to XML as an entity "/b". Not sure what this means, but this entity only opens back up in Frame as a "/b", not a beta glyph.
We need to have the beta (and other symbols of course) display properly in Frame so we can print to PDF, then save to XML and reopen in Frame. Is this possible? Searches across all the Frame documentation have revealed nothing about how to do this, and I feel as if I'm complicated it unnecessarily, but can't tell how.
Any ideas -- or reasonable workarounds -- would be very much appreciated.
thanks,
Shelley

Shelley,
Whether or not a unicode character displays properly is a function of the font that you are using. If you specifed the \u03B2 codepoint, then unless you're using a Pro type OTF font, chances are that the glyph simply isn't available in that font.
Try using the Files > Utilities > Character Palette to see what's available (and also enter it by clicking on the glyphs) for the specific font that you are using in FM9. The Hex Input isn't the way to go for unicode values.
You might also want to look at installing the Quick Unicode Input tool available at: http://www.cardbox.com/quick.htm
[Addendum: WGL TT fonts may also contain the required greek symbols.]

Unicode Supports, change encoding setting

hello
I want to know how can I use Unicode supports. when I type activities as local language (farsi) after scheduling i can't see the original characters. i see unknown characters (????? ???? ??? ????????).

Hi,
I don't know if this can help you, but I had a similar problem while invoking a web service. Eventually, I found out that the server was returning an html error page, and not the expected xml answer.
That's why the client code raises such an error... It means that the MIME type of the anser is text/html (for the html page) and not the text/xml type of the 'nominal' web service answer.
You can verify this by using a proxy to intercept the http request and answer involved in this web service invocation (use Fiddler for instance). Then, you will see that the server responds by sending an html page saying that something is wrong.
Hope this helps...

How to know whether my oracle 10g instalation in unicode supported or not

Hi
i am new to oracle. I have installed Oracle 10g client and server.
I want to know whether the database created can store unicode data/arabic data.

1. Yeh that is the thing I want. What are the other steps that i need to do with my Oracle Client/Server for unicode support.
Where i am getting trouble is the Oracle Client/Server unicode support.
And how to decide what character set will suite me best.1. If your application is going to be a "true" Unicode application, you can set the NLS_LANG registry/environment setting on your clients to ".UTF8" to enable true Unicode support.
2. Your database needs to support Unicode, too.
The recommended database character set for this in 10g is "AL32UTF8".
If you currently have a single-byte database character set (WE8MSWIN1252), you need to decide how to get this done.
If you can simply create a new database using the "AL32UTF8" character set, this would be the easiest way.
There are several documents available (e.g. on Oracle MetaLink) that describe in detail how to convert the character set of an existing database. Depending on your data this can be a tedious task involving several steps, so may be creating a new database and exporting/importing the data might be the simplest choice if you need to migrate some existing data.
The recommended national character set is "AL16UTF16", by the way, but that shouldn't matter that much once you have a Unicode enabled database using "AL32UTF8" as database character set.
2. How to set/retrive the "Database Character Set" and "National Character Set". This has already been answered partly. Retrieve:
Database Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';National Character Set:
SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE PARAMETER = 'NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET';In most of the cases you can't just simply set/alter the character sets, as outlined above.

UTF-8 Support

Hello,
I'm trying to send some queries to the dbxml 2.5.14 and I get the following error:
XmlInvalidValue: XmlException 14, Error: checkTrailingBytes: bad utf-8 encoding File: \dbxml-2.5.13\dbxml\src\dbxml\nodeStore\NsUtil.cpp Line: 198
Inside the Queries there are some special german letters [ä,ü,ö,Ä,Ü,Ö].
Importing xml-files with these letters works fine. But using Queries I get the above error.
I looked into the file NsUtil.cpp and for me the UTF-8 Support is well implemented.
I read something about missing UTF-8 Support in the used CommandLine/Shell.
I'm using Win XP and Python 2.5, and they both have UTF-8 Support.
So why do I get this Error??
Thanks for your help.

[SOLVED] Termite terminfo not reporting proper unicode support?

I've just switch from urxvt to termite due to the proper support for fontconfig. However, I'm noticing an issue in some ncurses programs that make use of the "Extended ASCII character set" printing functionality
According to this question ncurses determines what characters to print for a specific extended ascii character based on the current terminal type.
I suspect that termite isn't properly reporting unicode support since when a ncurses program wants to (for example) print arrows it will print (<, ^, v, >) instead of (←, ↑, ↓, →).
I've been trying to read terminfo(5) to understand what I might need to change in the terminfo file (xterm-termite) for it to properly report that it supports unicode, but it's fairly cryptic to me.
Last edited by EvanPurkhiser (2013-05-16 07:53:26)

I've made a little bit of progress on determining why Termite doesn't report support for _some_ extended ASCII characters.
Looking at Termites terminfo file there is an option in there named 'acsc', which describes the terminals support for extended ascii characters. There is some documentation on the options available for this, and I noticed that the arrow characters are not included in termites terminfo.
If I switch my $TERM to screen-256color (which DOES print the extended ASCII arrows properly) and run `infocmp` I see that it does include these characters
acsc=++\,\,--..00``aaffgghhiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,
I thought I might be able to simply add the proper characters to termites terminfo acsc option and it would fix it, but it didn't. Instead now when it trys to print arrows instead of printing the wedge (^, v) or the unicode characters (like I want), it just prints the corresponding extended ASCII mapping characters (-, .).
The next thing I tried was copying ALL of the screen-256color terminfo options into the source termite.terminfo file. This had the same effect as before.
I also tried completely replacing the (already compiled) xterm-termite terminfo file with the (already compiled) screen-256color terminfo file (`cp /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-termite`). This DID work, but obviously this is no different than just `export TERM=screen-256color `
What am I missing? is there some kind of character map that gets encoded into the terminfo file during compilation?

Enable unicode support

I have nokia 6500 slide model phone.
How I can enable unicode support for reading "jar" file in regional language, especilly in malayalam language

It is not just about enabling Unicode support (and for all that matters, the phone might already have full Unicode support).
It is a case of having the correct fonts as default/system fonts for displaying the characters.
On S40 based models, you cannot install your own font files to replace system/default fonts.
So, if you want to read/see malayalam language content, and the phone does not support it, you can try a Nokia repair center in case there is a firmware version with support for that language, or you can change to some other phone model which supports the language, or supports installable font files.

Unicode support for Nokia 5233 and the like device...

Hello. I'm just a lurker on the forums but i recently made a switch from my old 6500 slide (Series 40) to a 5233.
When i got my new device, i wasn't exactly happy due to they (The salesmen) didn't inform me about the lack of 3G compatibility but my bigger problem is lack of Unicode support.
I cannot browse my Japanese files on my mSD nor can i browse my Japanese forums and sites on my 5233. I've been using my 5600 slide at the moment and was wondering if there is an avaliable language pack, character set pack or font pack?
Thanks.
EDIT: Fixed a few typos. Hope anyone can help me.

You need to visit a Nokia care center for language packs,they may charge a small fee for it.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Hi, 
 
If I well understand, your source database is in non-unicode, right ? 
But it's not so easy to migrate in unicode database. 
I strongly advise you to read metalink note 260192.1 Changing WE8ISO8859P1/ WE8ISO8859P15 or WE8MSWIN1252 to UTF8 with ALTER DATABASE . 
You can find more info into Globalization Support
