I'm importing files in codepage 1252 encoding to a SQL Server 2008 database. Some data contains a comma that isn't the traditional comma (keycode 44) but instead 8218. The column that contains this value is encrypted via an algorithm in VB6. When I implement the same algorithm in C# I get value 130 which then will does not match 8218...
When I copy, for example, the word "Çamlık" from a web page into a rich text box (forms application) at runtime, it is displayed as "?aml?k". Is there a setting in the richtextbox control or form or application to fix this? If not, what is the "socially acceptable" method? (.Net 2008) ...
What is the character entity for the equal character in HTML? I have been looking and I cannot find the character entity reference for that one character. EDIT: I am building a JSLint style validator for HTML. I am not happy with current validators as they only validate syntax requirements and not best practice considerations. I am ...
An HTTP POST request is made to my servlet. There is a posted form parameter in the http request that my code in the servlet retrieves for further processing named "payload". When the value of the payload includes the windows-1252 character "’" (ascii value 146), HttpServletRequest instance method getParameter("payload") returns null. ...
Hello everyone. I am looking for a list of characters and symbols for use in HTML in PDF or image format. It could be some sort of cheat-sheet. Basically I want a reference list for use in HTML for replacing for example '&' with '&'. I have found the list in http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp but if anyone can point me to...

I'm using the PHP-Excel-Reader library to read some XLS files and immediately have hit this issue: PHP Notice: iconv() [function.iconv]: Detected an incomplete multibyte character in input string in C:\web\docs\housing\excel_reader2.php on line 1718 The line in question is this: $result = iconv('UTF-16LE', $this->_defaultEncoding...
Hi, I've built a webservice in php/soap, but I'm running into trouble when sending special characters through soap. Is there any way to specify what encoding to use with soap? Do you have to do it in the wsdl file or the client and server scripts? ...
When I update my database with this command: UPDATE myTable SET Name = 'Hermann Dönnhoff' WHERE ID = 123; SQL Server actually puts 'Hermann Do¨nnhoff' in the field instead. Instead of faithfully inserting the o-umlaut (char(246)), I'm getting two characters ( char(111) + char (168) ). This happens for all characters that have accent ma...
Is it possible to specify which character encoding should be used by OLEDB when querying a DBF file? A possible work-around would be to encode the query string before the OLEDB call to the DBF file's character encoding and then encode all the results when they are returned. This will work but it would be nice if OLEDB or possibly ADO.N...
Hi! I connect to a webservice that gives me a response something like this(This is not the whole string, but you get the idea): sResponse = "{\"Name\":\" Bod\u00f8\",\"homePage\":\"http:\/\/www.example.com\"}"; As you can see, the "Bod\u00f8" is not as it should be.

I am trying to find the best way of getting round a design flaw in a web app I'm helping to support. One part of the service passes a parameter ("myparam") to a .jsp page, which in turn calls a REST service including our myparam as a path parameter. The design flaw bit is that myparam should be passed as a form parameter, since it can be...
I have an HTML form, and some users are copy/pasting text from MS Word. When there are single quotes or double quotes, they get translated into funny characters like: '€™ and ’ The database column is collation utf8_general_ci. How do I get the appropriate characters to show up? Edit: Problem solved. Here's how I fixed it: Ran...

In linux terminal one would type locale charmap in order to see what kind of character-encoding your system uses, eg UTF-8. My question is how would you do this using c/c++. (I'm using linux) edit: I tried using nl_langinfo(CODESET) but I got ANSI_X3.4-1968 instead of UTF-8 (which is what I get when typing: locale charmap). Am I...
Problem When screen-scraping a webpage using python one has to know the character encoding of the page. If you get the character encoding wrong than your output will be messed up. People usually use some rudimentary technique to detect the encoding. They either use the charset from the header or the charset defined in the meta tag or t...
Hi there, I'm using a technique from another stackoverflow question here, to write a CSV file to the Response output for a User to Open/Save. This is working fine and the file looks good in Notepad, but when I open it in Excel the accented characters are garbage. I assumed this was something to do with the character encoding, so tried m...
