What are Chinese characters seen

Sometimes when I open Firefox, I see Chinese characters strong all the way across the top of the area of the banner. I am concerned that maybe somebody is stealing my information. Not sure if somehow that was part of the hidden background that I s not supposed to be seen. But I need to know either how to get rid of them or to know that they're not going to be a problem for me.

Hi, this is a known problem with McAfee Site Adviser, so if you are using it, that could be the cause. Here's a link to [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/76071?tstart=0 their forum,] and [http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100162 here's instructions] for removing it - should you wish to.
It is said on their forum that updating McAfee will fix it, which might be an option.
Hope that helps.

  • Why are Chinese characters appearring on tabs?

    Hello,
    I seem to be having a problem. From time to time, what appears to be Chinese characters/radicals appear on my tabs - as shown in the image. I have 'refreshed' firefox a couple of times but I can't seem to narrow down where this is coming from or why it is happening.
    I'm not sure if my system or version of Firefox has been hijacked, or if it's an add-on that is allowing an intrusion. Well - really - I'm not sure what's happening.
    Any ideas?

    Nevermind.
    I see that it's the McAfee SiteAdvisor program that's creating the problem.
    I will contact McAfee about this, and disable or uninstall SiteAdvisor.

  • What are ASCII characters?

    Part of the WPA set-up says to *"Type a password of 8 to 63 ASCII characters"* am I correctly assuming this means characters like... ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + | } { And does that mean I cannot use "letters or numbers" Or am I just nuts and need you to assist me with a correct answer? Thanks

    ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort.
    ASCII can represent numbers, letters, or symbols.

  • A850+ with chinese characters on phone app despite UK English setting

    Have just received a new 850+ running Android  4.2.2 and firmware A850+_S118_140226
    Pretty much all the apps show English except the inbuilt phone app which is mixed English/Chinese.  For example, under an incoming number are Chinese characters.  I've no ide what these mean but presumably if it was in English it might be useful!
    Any tips as to how I can fix this?  
    Thanks

    Just found th esolution to this on XDA forum here:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a850/help/a850-unknown-city-chinese-characters-t2811907 
    Apparently it's a setting in the Contacts manager to do with location.  Solves a problem of Chinese characters in Contacts and Phone.  Bizarre.

  • Newbie: Simplified Chinese characters are displayed as square boxes

    Hi,
    I am using Windows XP Simplified Chinese Version SP3, Sun JDK5.0 Update 20. I want to run Apache Ofbiz POS; however, the Chinese characters (zh) in PosUiLabels.xml are all displayed as square boxes.
    I have tested run Ofbiz in Mac OS X and the Simplified Chinese are displayed normally, and other languages can also be displayed in Windows XP.
    What should I do?
    Regards,
    Terence

    When you say "displayed" I assume you mean displayed in some GUI component. In which case you should assign a font to that component which can render those characters properly.

  • What do the Chinese characters in top left of window fram signify?

    In the top left hand corner of the browser frame are a number of what appear to be Chinese characters- which change according to changing pages why are they there? What do they mean? Is it important? Has the program been corrupted? Is my security compromised?

  • Chinese characters disappeared after update - what can I do?

    My iTunes updated automatically, but now my Chinese songs and their artists are now labelled as boxes instead of in Chinese characters - what can I do?

    Did you try to update your iPhone 3G to iOS 6?  That's an impossible upgrade, as iOS 6 cannot run on the iPhone 3G (which came out in 2008).
    So I suggest resetting your iPhone.  Hold the power and home buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till you see the Apple logo.  Hopefully your iPhone will proceed doing something after that.

  • What are valid and invalid email address characters

    What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

    Hi
        The format of email addresses is
    local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
    domain name may have a
    maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.<sup id="cite_ref-0">[1]</sup>
    The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
    and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
    the informational RFC 3696<sup id="cite_ref-1">[2]</sup>
    and the associated errata.
    Local part
    The local-part of the email address may use any of these
    ASCII characters
    RFC 5322 Section
    3.2.3:
    Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
    Digits
    0 to
    9 (ASCII: 48-57)
    Characters
    !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
    Character
    . (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
    provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
    Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
    o   
    Space and
    "(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
    The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
    space, backslash \ and
    quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
    \ (e.g.
    A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
    (e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
    "abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
    abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
    abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
    RFC 5321 also
    warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
    The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
    are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
    (space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
    Windows Live Hotmail,
    for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
    and hyphen (-).<sup id="cite_ref-2">[3]</sup>
    Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
    legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
    !#$%*/?^`{|}~
    Domain part
    The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
    hostname,
    consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
    IP address
    literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
    in email spam.
    Examples
    Valid email addresses
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
    <tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
    Invalid email addresses
    <tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
    <tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
    is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
    up the local-part)
    <tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
    quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
    <tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
    and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

  • Arabic and Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF

    Hi
    I hava an application which calls BI publisher API to generate PDF file from rtf temlate and xml input. It is fine for English contents. But the Arabic or Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF. If I use BI publisher Desktop to load the xml and generate pdf file, it shows correct Arabic/Chinese Characters in PDF. I also copied ALBANWTJ.ttf file to my application JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts/ folder. But it still doesn't work. Anyone can help me with this?
    Thanks a lot!

    I created xdo.cfg and put it in my JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ folder. the file is configured as below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
    <properties>
    <property name="system-temp-dir">/tmp</property>
    </properties>
    <fonts>
    <font family="Default" style="normal" weight="normal">
    <truetype path="/fonts/ALBANWTJ.ttf"/>
    </font>
    </fonts>
    </config>
    But now I'm getting this error while generating pdf file:
    Adobe Reader could not open 'xxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    Is there anything wrong in my xdo.cfg?
    Thanks!

  • Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

    Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
    Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
    I googled and got some tips:
    1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
    Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
    - I did this.
    2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
    Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
    - It was already set to UTF-8.
    3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
    - This has been done when I installed Windows.
    I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

    No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
    Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
    Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

  • Fax output - Chinese characters are garbled

    Hello,
    We are using fax output for two forms ( One smartform and the othe sap script). Both the form outputs are thorugh  the same fax device. For the smartform output there are no issues and the output is as expected but for the sap script output the chinese characters are garbled. Instead of the chinese characters i get output like _____ _______>,<%,,<< etc.
    Interestingly, if i have a look at the print preview or take print out there is no issue and the characters are as expected. The issue arises only during fax.
    Can someone help pls?

    I don't understand the reason.
    By the way, TextFormat.font don't work, whatever I set any fonts, display are the same.
