I want to encode a UTF-8 string to a ISO 8859- string in Java I have this: String title = new String(item.getTitle().getText().getBytes("ISO-8859-1")); But it isn't working, the output is Sørensen for example ...
Hi guys, I'm not able to correctly show this char on my web pages. I'm using UTF-8 charset for this page, have I to use ISO-8859-2? I'm getting this a string with this char from a db and on it, it's saved as ě. My Browser show only html tag. It's the only char (at this moment) that I can't show on my webpage. I've take a look to t...
I need to produce my own DecoderFallback and DecoderFallbackBuffer classes to implement some custom stream decoding. I have found that the stream reader making use of it is calling GetNextChar() repeatedly even when my specilizaed DecoderFallbackBuffer.Remaining property returns 0 to indicate that there no more characters to return. Th...
I´m trying to take a string from a GET or POST parameter in JSP with some accents in UTF-8: <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> <% request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); String value = request.getParameter("q"); out.print(value+" | aáa"); %> The codification of the hardcoded string is co...
I have a large mysql table that I think might be using the wrong character set. If so I'll need to change it using ALTER TABLE mytable CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 But since this is a very large table, I'd rather not run this command unless I have to. So my question is, how can I ask mysql what the character set is on a particular t...
Hi, I have a function that finds any ISO 8859-1 symbol within a given string, and tries converting it to its proper meaning. However, I get question marks instead where I'd like actual values like : ÿ é æ etc. Can you please point me in the right direction on how to properly handle foreign/unique symbols? ...
What's the most efficient way to calculate the byte length of a character, taking the character encoding into account? The encoding would be only known during runtime. In UTF-8 for example the characters have a variable byte length, so each character needs to be determined individually. As far now I've come up with this: char c = getCha...
I am using libxml2 in my iPhone app. I have an NSString that holds the pathname to an XML file. The pathname may include non-ASCII characters. I want to get a C string representation of the NSString for to pass to xmlReadFile(). It appears that cStringUsingEncoding gives me the representation I seek. I am not clear on which encoding to u...
We're using jQuery to get a JSON-string from our server (UTF-8 response, also UTF-8 request through jQuery) and put this JSON into a Google Gears WorkerPool. This workerpool processes the JSON and stores it into a Gears database (SQLite). It turns out that, apparently, SQLite stores data using iso-8859-1 rather than UTF-8. Since we're t...
I cannot read and write extended characters (French accented characters, for example) to a text file using the standard InputStreamReader methods shown in the Android API examples. When I read back the file using: InputStreamReader tmp = new InputStreamReader(in); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(tmp); String str; while ((st...
We are building an app that accesses the Twitter search over JSONP. It mostly works fine, but occasionally the request returns a JSONP callback that consists of weird unparseable characters. Here is an example: http://search.twitter.com/search.json?result_type=recent&rpp=100&geocode=51.4375857,-0.1658648,1km&page=5&call...
We're implementing a blog for a site which supports six different languages and five of them have non-Latin characters in their alphabets.

I'm writing a stream to a file and stdout, but I'm getting some kind of encoding like this: \u05ea\u05e7\u05dc\u05d9\u05d8 \u05e9\u05e1\u05d9\u05de\u05dc \u05e9\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05d9 \u05d1\u05e1\u05d2\u05e0\u05d5\u05df \u05dc\u05d3\u05e2\u05ea\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dd \u05d0\u05e0\u05d9 \u05d6\u05d5\u05db\u05e8 \u05e0\u05d...
Hello, I would like to convert a raw string to an array of big-endian words. As example, here is a JavaScript function that do it well (by Paul Johnston): /* * Convert a raw string to an array of big-endian words * Characters >255 have their high-byte silently ignored. */ function rstr2binb(input) { var output = Array(input.lengt...
Hi, i would like to generate strict alphanumeric character logins from users' first and lastname. Since many of them are foreigners, their names have special characters (é, è, ï, ...). I would like to remove the accents (e,e,i,...) in the logins. Here is my query. Is there a character set that does not contain accents? UPDATE contacts...
Hi (Ive looked at the other questions - none seemed to quite fit my problem.) I have some file-names under Windows 7 that need to be translated in to MySQL database (UTF-8) with Ruby on Rails. An example file-name includes "íéó" in some kind of Windows 7 file-system encoding. Ive tried many combinations of gsub and ActiveSupport::Mul...
Hi everyone, I've always found character sets and encodings complicated to understand and here I'm faced with another problem. My apologies for any inaccuracies. I'll do my best. I'm requesting data from a server which returns JSON. In the HTTP headers it also returns the character set like so: Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 ...
Hey folks, I'm currently developing a site in Joomla, and one of the components I'm using makes use of a PHP file to administer the language. (english.php, spanish.php) The problem I'm having is that if I use the plain text version of eg. "á", it will show up in the browser tab title ok, but as a � in the body of the page. But if I use...
