I am trying to print unicode in a JTextArea. I have gotten it to print fine to the console but when I try to print it to the textarea, I get boxes for all of the two byte unicode characters. Any help would be much appreciated. package edu.afit.jieddo; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class JTe...
I am trying to get unicode working on windows in a visual studio 2k8 project, and I am not sure why I can't get my project to work. My machine has all the Eastern language support installed. I went to properties->project defaults->character set: and it is set to "Use Unicode Character Set". Here is my test code: #include <stdio.h> #incl...
I have a scraper that is collecting some data from elsewhere that I have no control over. The source data does all sorts of interesting Unicode characters but it converts them to a pretty unhelpful format, so \u00e4 for a small 'a' with umlaut (sans the double quotes that I think are supposed to be there)*. of course this gets render...
I'm slightly confused and hoping for enlightenment. I'm using Delphi 2010 for this project and I'm trying to compare 2 strings. Using the code below fails if AnsiStrIComp(PAnsiChar(sCatName), PAnsiChar(CatNode.CatName)) = 0 then... because according to the debugger only the first character of each string is being compared. I.E. if s...

I tried exporting the data via PHPMyAdmin and even just doing something from the command line like mysql -user -p db < query.sql > export.tsv and I get...

I'm working with unicode/wide characters and I'm trying to create a toString method (Java ::toString equiv). Will ostream handle wide characters, if so is there a way to warn the consumer of the stream that it is unicode coming out of it? ...
I am developing an NSIS installer for a product that has a superscript in its name. Is it possible to encode superscript text in the installer script? In particular, I'd like to get the Name, BrandingText and Caption to display the superscript. I would be willing to switch to the NSIS Unicode build if that would definitively solve t...

I'm working with an SQL Server 2005 Express instance. Any attempt (both programatically or by using a table editor (for example VS Server Explorer --> Edit Table Data)) to enter a unicode string results in a sequence of question marks (????). I guess that either SQL Server 2005 Express doesn't support unicode at all or it requires some e...
Consider this program: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("%s\n", __FILE__); return 0; } Depending on the name of the file, this program works - or not. The issue I'm facing is that I'd like to print the name of the current file in an encoding-safe way. However, in case the file has funny characters which cannot be represe...
I wanted to url encode a python string and got exceptions with hebrew strings. I couldn't fix it and started doing some guess oriented programming. Finally, doing mystr = mystr.encode("utf8") before sending it to the url encoder saved the day. Can somebody explain what happened? What does .encode("utf8") do? My original string was a un...

What is the difference between them ? What I am not getting is how UTF-8 is conceptually different from a MBCS encoding ? Also, I found the following quote in MSDN: Uni...
My application needs to be I18N compliant. One of the requirements is that the initial password I generate should be in the User's chosen language. What API in Java can I use to achieve this? I have the user's language and will need to get a few random characters from the unicode set of that language. Edit: Thank you for the answers so ...
