Hi, I'm trying to output unicode string into RTF format. (using c# and winforms) From wikipedia: If a Unicode escape is required, the control word \u is used, followed by a 16-bit signed decimal integer giving the Unicode codepoint number. For the benefit of programs without Unicode support, this must be followed by the nearest rep...
My App displays English, Japanese and Chinese characters on a TextBox and a LinkLabel. Currently, I check if there are unicode characters and change the font to MS Mincho or else leave it in Tahoma. Now MS Mincho displays Japanese properly, but for Chinese I have to use Sim Sun. How can I distinguish between the two? How can I ensure t...
I have a unicode string with accented latin chars e.g. n=unicode('Wikipédia, le projet d’encyclopédie','utf-8') I want to convert it to plain ascii i.e. 'Wikipedia, le projet dencyclopedie', so all acute/accent,cedilla etc should get removed What is the fastest way to do that, as it needed to be done for matching a long autocomplete ...
I am creating a web application framework, in which I am providing support for multilingual content. I mean a content, say a paragraph can have 2 sentences in English and other 2 sentences in Hindi (an indian language). Now I have several doubts about that. 1) User or admin will add that content to the website. They will be presented a ...
Unicode has a million icon-like glyphs, but they're not always easy to search by, since I don't always know what they look like. Is there a Unicode glyph that looks like a "key"? Or is there a symbol that's used in database circles to mean "primary key", which is in Unicode? ...
Hi, I have column named "summary" (tinytext, utf8_turkish_ci). I know it can store 255 byte also 255 chars. But if i use unicode chars like Ç, Ö, Ü storage capacitiy naturally decreasing. If my visitor enter 250 chars long unicode text then last chars are erasing. My summary column will be always 250 chars long. What can i do ? Thanks. ...

How do i configure my DB to allow unicode? and how do I use C# to read/write values as unicode from MySql? Upddate: 7 Sep. 09 OK, So my Schema, Table & columns are set to...
When one creates web content in languages different than English the problem of search engine optimized and user friendly URLs emerge. I'm wondering whether it is the best practice to use de-accented letters in URLs -- risking that some words have completely different meanings with and without certain accents -- or it is better to stick...
Hi, I'm developing in Delphi 7 (personal). I used to use JvSimpleXML for XML handling, but it doesn't seem to handle WideStrings (or does it?!). My whole project uses TntWide... & SpTBXLib for interface so it does handle Unicode very well, I need now to store some settings in files ... So I'm looking for solution or (free) replacement o...
My company's main application is mostly written in C++ (with some Delphi code and components). We are upgrading from RAD Studio 2007 to 2010 for the next release, starting in about a week. What do I need to know to ensure this upgrade goes smoothly? Points I have thought of so far are: Unicode. This one looks really complicated. O...
I have a Excel Spreadsheet with lab data which looks like this: µg/L (ppb) I want to test for the presence of the Greek letter "µ" and if found I need to do something special. Normally, I would write something like this: if ( cell.StartsWith(matchSequence) ) { //.. <-- universal symbol for "magic" :) } I know there is an Encoding...
In PHP < 6, what is the best way to split a string into an array of Unicode characters? If the input is not necessarily UTF-8? I want to know whether the set of Unicode characters in an input string is a subset of another set of Unicode characters. Why not run straight for the mb_ family of functions, as the first couple of answers did...
I have to convert a large legacy application to Delphi 2009 which uses strings, AnsiStrings, WideStrings and UTF8 data all over the place and I have a hard time to understand how the new string types work and how they should be used. The application fully supported Unicode using TntUnicodeControls and there are 3rd party DLLs which requ...
According to the documentation of java.util.Pattern, the POSIX character class \p{Graph} ([:graph:] in POSIX notation) matches "a visible character: [\p{Alnum}\p{Punct}]". However, this is limited to ASCII characters only. Is there an equivalent class or expression for matching (visible) Unicode characters? ...
In my Java application I have been passed in a string that looks like this: "\u00a5123" When printing that string into the console, I get the same string as the output (as expected). However, I want to print that out by having the unicode converted into the actual yen symbol (\u00a5 -> yen symbol) - how would I go about doing this? i...
This is a C++ SDL OpenGL question. Hello, I have a game that requires me to allow players to chat with each other via network. All is well, except the part where players can type in Unicode input. So, the question can be split into two parts: When players type, how do I capture input? I have done this before via the game input handl...
My database (10gR2) is single-byte (NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8DEC). I have a Unicode XML file that I would like to parse. If I read the file into a CLOB and try to convert it to an XMLType, Oracle chokes when the XML contains special characters (in this case Norwegian characters such as "øæå"). ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Erro...
I asked this question a day ago regarding Greek Unicode characters, and now I have a question which builds upon that one. After extracting all my data, I have attempted to prepare it for import into Excel. I had to chose a tab delimited file because some of my data contains commas (lucky me!). The issue I'm running into is a very weir...
I have an application implementing incremental search. I have a catalog of unicode strings to be matched and match them to a given "key" string; a catalog string is a "hit" if it contains all of the characters in the key, in order, and it is ranked better if the key characters cluster in the catalog string. Anyway, this works fine and m...
Should I write my own or is there a library function that already does that? I need this for a pidgin plugin, so if there is something in the pidgin/purple/gnome libraries, that would be ideal. But other sources are fine, too. ...
