I'm currently working on a Java project that is emitting the following warning when I compile: /src/com/myco/apps/AppDBCore.java:439: warning: unmappable character for encoding UTF8 [javac] String copyright = "� 2003-2008 My Company.

I've downloaded an HttpHandler class that concatenates JS files into one file and it keeps appending the  characters at the start of each file it concatenates. Any ideas on what is causing this? Could it be that onces the files processed they are written to the cache and that's how the cache is storing/rendering it? Any inputs would...

I have to import some UTF-8 encoded text-file into my C++Builder 5 program. Are there any components or code samples to accomplish that? ...
Encoding issues are among the one topic that have bitten me most often during development. Every platform insists on its own encoding, most likely some non-UTF-8 defaults are in the game. (I'm usually working on Linux, defaulting to UTF-8, my colleagues mostly work on german Windows, defaulting to ISO-8859-1 or some similar windows codep...
I'm trying to run an XSLT transformation, but characters like ëöï are replaced by a literal '?' in the output (I checked with an hex editor). The source file has the correct characters, and the stylesheet has: <xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" method="xml"/> What else am I missing? I'm using saxon as the transformer, if that ...

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to handle this problem: I'm developing a web tool for an Italian university, and I have to display words with accents (such as è, ù, ...); sometimes I get these words from a PostgreSql table (UTF8-encoded), but mostly I have to read long passages from a file. These files are encoded as utf-8 xml, ...
When piping the output of a python program, the python interpreter gets confused about encoding and sets it to None. This means a program like this: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- print "åäö" will work fine when run normally, but fail with: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 0: ordinal not in range(...
I am trying to parse some RTF, that i get back from the server. For most text i get back this works fine (and using a RichTextBox control will do the job), however some of the RTF seems to contain an additional "encoding" and some of the characters get corrupted. The original string is as follows (and contains some of the characters u...
I have a web service load driver that's a Windows Script File (WSF), that includes some VBScript and JavaScript files. My web service requires that the incoming message is base64 encoded. I currently have a VBScript function that does this, but it's very inefficient (memory intensive, mostly due to VBScripts awful string concatenation) ...
Quite often one has to encode an big (e.g. 128 or 160 bits) number in an url. For example many web applications use md5(random()) for UUIDs. If you need to put that value in an URL the common approach is to just encode it as an hexadecimal string. But obviously hex encoding is not a very tight encoding. What other approaches are there...

May I ask someone to bring some light to this simple task, that is hunting my afternoon. EDIT 1: What...
Are URIs (specifically HTTP URLs) allowed to have a space in them? If they must be encoded, is '+' just a commonly followed convention, or a legitimate alternative? Thanks! EDIT: Can someone point to an RFC indicating that a URL with a space must be encoded? joe ...
