Hi, Before anyone recommends that I do a google search on this, I have. I just need a bit more clarity around what codepages and encodings. If I use UTF8 encoding, and use an italian code page and then a french code page, does this mean ill get different characters even though the bytes havent changed? ...
I have a php script which accesses a MSSQL2005 database, reads some data from it and sends the results in a mail. There are special characters in both some column names (I know, it's terrible) and in the fields itself. When I access the script through my browser (webserver iis), the query is executed correctly and the contents of the...
I have a device with some documentation on how to send it text. It uses 0x00-0x7F to send 'special' characters like accented characters, euro signs, ... I am guessing they copied an existing code page and made some changes, but I have no idea how to figure out what code page is closest to the one in my documentation. In theory, this s...

I'm using codepage 1252 and the russian comments aren't displayed correctly in Visual Studio Express 2008, not nice but anyway I can't read russian. Someone using codepage 950 (traditional chinese) tried to compile the pro...

Hi! I have some strings in Java (originally from an Excel sheet) that I presume are in Windows 1252 codepage. I want them converted to Javas own unicode format. The Excel file was parsed using the JXL package, in case that matter. I will clarify: apparently the strings gotten from the Excel file look pretty much like it already is some...

Hello. In python, strings may be unicode ( both utf-16 and utf-8 ) and single-byte with different encodings ( cp1251, cp1252 etc ). Is it possible to check what encoding string is? For example, time.strftime( "%b" ) will return a string with text name of a month. Under MacOS returned string will be utf-16, under Windows with English ...
I've come into an interesting problem (as is often the case in interacting with legacy systems). I'm working on an application (which currently runs on a x86 Linux or Windows system) that can receive requests from a variety of systems, one of them being an MVS system. I am attempting to determine which codepage/charset I should be us...
Hi there, I have been developing with some software for javscript that has a parser that reads in my JS and creates a compressed version, it kept failing as by default vs 2008 saves its files in UTF8 from what i see.. there was like a hidden couple of characters at the start of the file.. Forcing a save as 1252 sorted the issue, my que...
Hi, I have a decryption routine in VB6. I now want the same decryption in C#. The strings that need decryption are in unicode, so I use Encoding.Unicode.GetString to read the input in C#. The input now looks exactly the same as in VB6. The first few characters in the loop are decrypted ok! Then I encounter a difference... The program ...
Hello, I noticed that when reading MIDI port names from MME, the names are multi-byte strings encoded using the ANSI Codepage, which my app uses by default. When receiving those names from the DirectMusic driver, the names are wide-character strings encoded with the OEM Codepage. See this article by Raymond Chen for a quick refresher on...

My non-Unicode application needs to be able to process Unicode keyboard input (WM_CHAR/etc.), thus receive the 8-bit character code then internally convert it to Unicode. 9x-compatibility is required, so using most Unicode APIs is not an option. Currently it looks at the language returned by PRIMARYLANGID(GetKeyboardLayout(0)), and loo...
I have a URL stored in a Sharepoint 'Link to a document' that contains the Nordic Character 'Ø' as hex(%D8). Sharepoint is encoding the % symbol, (thus making it %25D8). If I enter the URL directly into an address bar, it works fine. If I don't URL encode it, I still get the same problem. Anybody got any ideas? ...
I have a Java application that receives data over a socket using an InputStreamReader.
