Writing unicode characters on JSwing components

I'm new to computers in general, but how can I write text onto a JTextarea - i need to type into one TextArea in Spanish and in English in the other - can I set up a textarea to be able to write words that include Spanish characters - I've read through most of the forums, but most don't mention this!! please help!!

Hi all,
If we're talking input (as in entering different languages into textfields), it's pretty much down to your operating system if you don't want to spend any money. Windows 2000 is about the only OS I'm aware of that will let you enter non-English languages into textfields off the bat. And even then, you need a foreign version. For instance, the Chinese version of Win2K will let you enter Chinese directly into Java textfields (albeit dodgily due to some pretty bad bugs in the JDK!)
If you're trying to switch input languages between textfields, I doubt the OS could handle it. It sounds to me like it could only be handled by an input method (for those yet to discover this, there is a page or two in the JDK documentation on the Java Input Method Framework). Java supplies the framework only to allow you to enter text in different languages for text components. The problem is that Sun has never supplied its own input methods (I imagine it could blow the JDK's size out quite nicely if they ever tried!). The only input methods out there are sold by third-party developers, but as much as they cost, they are good and reliable. SlangSoft make an excellent one called Spirus which really covers all bases. You can get a thirty-day trial of it at www.slangsoft.com.
Hope that covers it!

Writing Unicode characters to scripting parameters on Windows

I am trying to read/write a file path that supports Unicode characters to/from scripting parameters (PIDescriptorParameters) with an Export plug-in. This works fine on OS X by using AliasHandle together with the "typeAlias" resource type in the "aete" section of the plugin resource file.
On Windows I am having trouble to make Photoshop correctly display paths with Unicode characters. I have tried:
- Writing null-terminated char* (Windows-1252) in a "typePath" parameter -- this works but obviously does not support Unicode.
- Writing null-terminated wchar* (UTF-16) in a "typePath" parameter -- this causes the saved path in the Action palette to be truncated to the first character, caused by null bytes in UTF-16. It appears PS does not understand UTF-16 in this case?
- Creating an alias record with sPSAlias->WinNewAliasFromWidePath and storing in a "typePath" or "typeAlias" parameter -- this causes the Action palette to show "txtu&", which does not make sense to me at all.
The question is: what is the correct scripting parameter resource type (typePath, typeAlias, ... ?) for file paths on Windows, and how do I write to it in such way that Photoshop will correctly display Unicode characters in the Actions palette?

Hi
Skip the first (4 or 6 characters) and you'll get the Unicode value.

Problems displaying Thai characters in FTE components on Mac

I had originally posted a question here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4027591, but was told that this is more of a flash runtime issue.
I am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:
<flex-config>
        <target-player>10.2.0</target-player>
        
        <swf-version>11</swf-version>
        <compiler>
          
          <locale>
              <locale-element>en_US</locale-element>
          </locale>
          <fonts>
              
              
              <managers>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.JREFontManager</manager-class>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.BatikFontManager</manager-class>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.AFEFontManager</manager-class>
                  <manager-class>flash.fonts.CFFFontManager</manager-class>
              </managers>
                
            </fonts>
        </compiler>
    </flex-config>
...and another from flash-unicode-table.xml:
<language-range>
    <lang>Thai</lang>
    <range>U+0E01-0E5B</range>
</language-range>
My flex application originally had the following defined in its stylesheet:
    Application {
        fontSize: 12px;
        fontFamily: Arial;
        font-sharpness:0;
        font-anti-alias-type:advanced;
Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far. However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution. My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters. So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List. Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya. Still was seeing the boxes of evil.
Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character. So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font. So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.
Here's my question - is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font? I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.
Oh and I'm using flash player 10.3 right now.

OK, I asked the FTE team and got this reply: "Lucida Grande is CTS's fallback font for Thai. This font on OS 10.7 and 10.6 are not supporting Thai anymore. The version on 10.5 was supporting it." This means that it's our bug that we keep using Lucida Grande as fallback font even Apple dropped support Thai script with that font after 10.6. Unfortunately this bug was deferred from current development release (11.2) because of time constraint. If this support is critical for your business, can you open a bug in our public bugbase and ask as many vote as possible? In this way I may be able to convince internal team to fix this bug in next release.
Thank you for your feedback!

Unicode characters a real challenge??????

Hello everybody
I cannot believe it that no one has been able to help me with displaying unicode characters (Arabic letters in particular) I have posted 2 threads no one has answered. I hope that someone out there knows how to handle unicode characters.
that includes reading and writing them to a file.
Hope you can help.
Rana

Hello Rana,
Please use this code as a sample. You have to use this code inside of your paint() method.
String myString = "\u0635\u0634\u0633\u0632\u0631\u0630\u0629\u0628\u0627";
g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_MEDIUM));
g.drawString(myString, (this.getWidth() - (Font.getFont(Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_MEDIUM).stringWidth(myString))), 0, Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);And you can find the full list of unicode table of Arabic letters at this document:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf
If you have some troubleshooting, please come back again, we can find a solution.

Ran

A portable interpretable object code expressed as Unicode characters

A portable interpretable object code expressed as Unicode characters
My idea of a portable interpretable object code suitable for encoding into Unicode is presently at a point somewhere on the line between abstract pure mathematics and practical, widely used information technology.
There is more information in the following thread.
http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2364
There has also been a thread in the Unicode Public Email List.
http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2009-m03/0168.html
http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2009-m03/
Encoding of the portable interpretable object code is currently into plane 15, which is one of the Unicode Private Use Areas. Maybe a portable interpretable object code will one-day be encoded into regular Unicode, perhaps in plane 12.
I am thinking that if an MHP application written in Java were produced which interprets the portable interpretable object code, then a sandbox environment could be produced that would enable lots of people to program content for the MHP platform by writing a program in the portable interpretable object code and that program be interpreted by the MHP application.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

Hi,
Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry
Best wishes

CRVS2010 Beta - Cannot export report to PDF with unicode characters

My report has some unicode data (Chinese), it can be previewed properly in the windows form report viewer. However, if I export the report document to PDF file, the unicode characters in exported file are all displayed as a square.
In the version of Crystal Report 2008 R2, it can export the Chinese characters to PDF when I select a Chinese font in report. But VS2010 beta cannot export the Chinese characters even a Chinese font is selected.

Barry, what is the specific font you are using?
The below is a reformatted response from Program Management:
Using non-Chinese font with Unicode characters (Chinese) the issue is reproducible when using Arial font in Unicode characters field. After changing the Unicode character to Simsun (A Chinese font named 宋体 in report), the problem is solved in Cortez and CR both.

How do I get unicode characters out of an oracle.xdb.XMLType in Java?

The subject says it all. Something that should be simple and error free. Here's the code...
String xml = new String("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<x>\u2026</x>\n");
XMLType xmlType = new XMLType(conn, xml);
conn is an oci8 connection.
How do I get the original string back out of xmlType? I've tried xmlType.getClobVal() and xmlType.getString() but these change my \u2026 to 191 (question mark). I've tried xmlType.getBlobVal(CharacterSet.UNICODE_2_CHARSET).getBytes() (and substituted CharacterSet.UNICODE_2_CHARSET with a number of different CharacterSet values), but while the unicode characters are encoded correctly the blob returned has two bytes cut off the end for every unicode character contained in the original string.
I just need one method that actually works.
I'm using Oracle release 11.1.0.7.0. I'd mention NLS_LANG and file.encoding, but I'm setting the PrintStream I'm using for output explicitly to UTF-8 so these shouldn't, I think, have any bearing on the question.
Thanks for your time.

I created analogic test case, and executed it with DB 11.1.0.7 (Linux x86), which seems to work fine.
Please refer to the execution procedure below:
* I used AL32UTF8 database.
1. Create simple test case by executing the following SQL script from SQL*Plus:
connect / as sysdba
create user testxml identified by testxml;
grant connect, resource to testxml;
connect testxml/testxml
create table testtab (xml xmltype) ;
insert into testtab values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'||chr(10)||'<x>'||unistr('\2026')||'</x>'||chr(10)));
-- chr(10) is a linefeed code.
commit;
2. Create QueryXMLType.java as follows:
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.xdb.XMLType;
import java.util.*;
public class QueryXMLType
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception, SQLException
          DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
          OracleConnection conn = (OracleConnection) DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@localhost:1521:orcl", "testxml", "testxml");
          OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement("select xml from testtab");
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
          OracleResultSet orset = (OracleResultSet) rs;
          while (rs.next())
               XMLType xml = XMLType.createXML(orset.getOPAQUE(1));
               System.out.println(xml.getStringVal());
          rs.close();
          stmt.close();
3. Compile QueryXMLType.java and execute QueryXMLType.class as follows:
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export CLASSPATH=.:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc5.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/orai18n.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
javac QueryXMLType.java
java QueryXMLType
-> Then you will see U+2026 character (horizontal ellipsis) is properly output.
My Java code came from "Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) Part Number B28369-04" with some modification of:

Insert Unicode Characters Into Oracle 8.1.5

Hello,
First off, here are the specs:
Oracle 8.1.5
JDK 1.2.1
Oracle8i 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC Drivers for use with JDK 1.2.x for Solaris
I'm running into a problem with insert Unicode characters into Oracle via the JDBC driver. As you can see above, I am using the Oracle 8.1.6.2.0 JDBC driver because it is the first driver with supports the JDK 1.2.x. So I think I should be okay.
I can retrieve data with special characters from Oracle by calling the getBytes() method from the ResultSet with all special characters being intact. I am using getBytes because calling getString() would throw the following exception: "java.sql.SQLException(): Fail to convert between UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv". However, with that value that I just retrieved, or any other data with special characters (unicode) in which I try to insert into Oracle does not get converted properly.
What appears to be happening is that data with special characters (unicode), are not being treated as a single double byte character, but rather two single byte characters. Thus, R|ckschlagventil becomes RC<ckschlagventil once it is inserted. (Hopefully, my example will be rendered properly).
According to all documentation that I have found, the JDBC driver should not have any problem with converting UCS2 Java Strings to Oracle's UTF8 character set.
I have set Oracle's NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET to UTF8. I am also setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Perhaps there is some other environment setting in which I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated,
Christian

Scanning files for non-unicode characters.

Question: I have a web application that allows users to take data, enter it into a webapp, and generate an xml file on the servers filesystem containing the entered data. The code to this application cannot be altered (outside vendor). I have a second webapp, written by yours truly, that has to parse through these xml files to build a dataset used elsewhere.
Unfortunately I'm having a serious problem. Many of the web applications users are apparently cutting and pasting their information from other sources (frequently MS Word) and in the process are embedding non-unicode characters in the XML files. When my application attempts to open these files (using DocumentBuilder), I get a SAXParseException "Document root element is missing".
I'm sure others have run into this sort of thing, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to tackle this problem. Obviously I'm going to have to start pre-scanning the files for invalid characters, but finding an efficient method for doing so has proven to be a challenge. I can load the file into a String array and search it character per character, but that is both extremely slow (we're talking thousands of LONG XML files), and would require that I predefine the invalid characters (so anything new would slip through).
I'm hoping there's a faster, easier way to do this that I'm just not familiar with or have found elsewhere.

require that I predefine the invalid charactersThis isn't hard to do and it isn't subject to change. The XML recommendation tells you here exactly what characters are valid in XML documents.
However if your problems extend to the sort of case where users paste code including the "&" character into a text node without escaping it properly, or they drop in MS Word "smart quotes" in the incorrect encoding, then I think you'll just have to face up to the fact that allowing naive users to generate uncontrolled wannabe-XML documents is not really a viable idea.

The JSP WYSIWYG Editor can't display most Unicode characters

Eclipse supports display of Unicode characters very well since version 3. However, NitroX couldn't display most most of them. Well, besides characters from other non-Western European languages, NitroX can't even display characters that it's supposed to support. Well, that's what I think so. I mean, when we type the & character, we have the whole list of character entity references amongst which we could find &and; ∇ &or; → but which are not displayed correctly. And many more are in this case.
Is this a feature or a bug? By "feature", it means that we can't get them in free version.

I have exactly the same problem. I support web pages for 25 European countries. I've not seen Nitrox support any unicode characters. Until M7 answers this question or fixes the editor, you can use the Eclipse editor to see and edit the text.

Is there a list of Unicode characters that can be used in Acrobat bookmarks?

I can add Greek characters to Acrobat bookmarks using hexadecimal strings. For example, to print a lower case gamma symbol I use <FEFF03B3>. FEFF is the required Unicode flag and 03B3 is the Unicode code for gamma. This works fine. However, there are no Unicode entries for greek characters in the PDF 32000-1:2008 PDF Specification manual. Table D.2 - PDFDocEncoding Character Set on page 656 lists Unicode characters and these also work when added to bookmarks but no Greek codes are in this table. Since I can sucessfully use Greek Unicode characters in the range of 0x0391 - 0x03CE and these characters are not listed in the PDF manual I am assuming there are additional Unicode character that will work in bookmarks. Therefore, I am looking for a complete list of Unicode characters that can be used in Acrobat's bookmarks. Does such a list exist?

Thank you for the response.
I'm sorry to hear there is no list available. I'm building the Acrobat bookmarks automatically. The input data contains entity codings (for example, a lower case Greek gamma is coded as γ) and I was hoping to be able to just pass these through with an automatic conversion to a hexadecimal string (for example <FEFF03B3>). If I had a list of valid Unicode characters, that will display in an Acrobat bookmark, I could validate each entity before the conversion and catch the ones that won't display correctly. I know these types of characters are out there because I have already come across them. For example, a superscript 5 (0x2075) displays fine in MSWord but shows as a white box in a bookmark. Now I'll need to proof the output PDFs and look for white boxes in the bookmarks so that I can build my list of unicode characters that do not work in Acrobat bookmarks.
Again, thanks for your help.

Special Unicode characters in RSS XML

Hi,
I'm using an adapted version of Husnu Sensoy's solution (http://husnusensoy.wordpress.com/2007/11/17/o-rss-11010-on-sourceforgenet/ - thanks, Husnu) to consume RSS feeds in an Apex app.
It works a treat, except in cases where the source feeds contain special unicode characters such as [right double quotation mark - 0x92 0x2019] (thankyou, http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml)
These cases fail with
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00217: invalid character 8217 (U+2019) Error at line 19
Any ideas on how to translate these characters, or replace them with something innocuous (UNISTR?), so that the XML transformation succeeds?
Many thanks,
jd

I do not see much issue in the code... The process flow is quite valid...
But now i am not getting whether,
1) storing the string in CmdBuff is creating issue
2) SQLExecDirect si creating an issue(and some other function can be used here)...
3) Odbc Driver creating an issue and want some Client Setting to be done(though i have tried doing some permutation combination)...
Any kind of help would be appreciated,
Thanks & Regards,
Pratik

Hey Sergiusz,
You were bang on target...
Though it took some time for me to resolve the issue...
to use SQLExecDirectW I need my query in SQLWCHAR *, which is stored in char * in my case...
So i converted the incoming query using MultibyteToWideChar Conversion with CodePage as CP_UTF8 and
then passed it on to SQLExecDirectW...
It solved my problem
Thanks,
Pratik...

[SOLVED] Conky Not Displaying Unicode Characters Correctly

I have some music that requires unicode characters in order to be displayed properly. The artist name is Röyksopp, but it is displayed like this:
http://i.imgur.com/rRBDxZn.png
Does anyone know how to either make it display correctly (Röyksopp), or at least remove the umlauts to make it almost correct(Royksopp)? I've set the locale, so it displays correctly in both i3bar and urxvt, but it had no effect on conky.
EDIT: Here is my conkyrc.

I know that this font works because I tried it in urxvt and it displayed correctly.
Also, I tried "override_utf8_locale yes" and it still was incorrect.
