I'd like to add the Unicode skull and crossbones to my shell prompt (specifically the 'SKULL AND CROSSBONES' (U+2620)) but I can't figure out the magic incantation to make echo spit it, or any other, 4 digit Unicode character. 2 digit one's are easy echo -e "\x55", for example. In addition to the answers below it should be noted that, o...
I'm having troubles opening a Unicode file in C++ using fstreams instead of the older FILE-based file handling functions. When opening a file using _wfopen, I can specify a mode to tell it what character encoding to use. Eg: _wfopen_s(&file, fileName, unicode ? L"r+, ccs=UTF-16LE" : L"r+" ); This works fine. When using wifstream thoug...
I've been experimenting with various bits of Java code trying to come up with something that will encode a string containing quotes, spaces and "exotic" Unicode characters and produce output that's identical to JavaScript's encodeURIComponent function. My torture test string is: "A" B ± " If I enter the following JavaScript statement i...
Is there a rule when we must use the Unicode types? I have seen that most of the European languages (German, Italian, English, ...) are fine in the same database in VARCHAR columns. I am looking for something like: If you have Chinese --> use NVARCHAR If you have German and Arabic --> use NVARCHAR What about the collation of the...

I'm running into an issue where I'm processing unicode strings and I want to do some error reporting with standard exceptions. The error messages contained in standard exceptions are not unicode. Usually that hasn't been a problem for me because I can define the error message in non-unicode and have enough information, but in this case...
By default, Visual Studio 2008 puts the Unicode byte-order mark in front of any file you save. You can override this on a per-file basis by going to File > Advanced Save Options and picking a different encoding. How do I tell VS to use a default encoding for all files in a particular project or solution? This is drastically screwing up ...
I have a list of tuples of unicode objects: >>> t = [('亀',), ('犬',)] Printing this out, I get: >>> print t [('\xe4\xba\x80',), ('\xe7\x8a\xac',)] which I guess is a list of the utf-8 byte-code representation of those strings? but what I want to see printed out is, surprise: [('亀',), ('犬',)] but I'm having an inordinate amount o...

I have a requirement where a client will supply a file in encoding ANSI, but my system can only successfully read a file in UNICODE. So how do I tackle this issue? I know when I "save as" the file into as UNICODE encoded the file gets picked up. It's difficult to make the client comply with our request. So can I have any batch program f...
If I understand correctly, UTF-32 can handle every character in the universe. So can UTF-16, through the use of surrogate pairs. So is there any good reason to use UTF-32 instead of UTF-16? ...
In ASCII, validating a name isn't too difficult: just make sure all the characters are alphabetical. But what about in Unicode (utf-8) ? How can I make sure there are no commas or underscores (outside of ASCII scope) in a given string? (ideally in Python) ...

I am trying to write a Perl script using the "utf8" pragma, and I'm getting unexpected results. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), and I'm editing with TextMate. All of my settings for both my editor and operating system are defaulted to writing files in utf-8 format. However, when I enter the following into a text file, save it as a ...

I've an ASCII file that contains an EM Dash (— or — in HTML). The hex value is 0x97. When we pass this file through one application it arrives as UTF-8, and it converts the character to 0xC297, which is — in HTML. However, when we pass this file through a different application it converts the character to 0xE28094 or —. ...
