I'm trying to find a workaround to display old and rare characters in unicode using character combining. Currently I'm converting some dictionaries from EPWING into text and there are 36 different characters which cannot be reproduced using normal UTF-8. Below is the problem section of the epwing gaiji to unicode mappings for one of the ...
In my VB.NET application I compare words that are recorded using IPA, many of which have many diacritic marks. In one of the comparisons, I compare the words character by character. But when I iterate over the characters, the diacritic marks come out as separate characters (as I would expect since this is unicode): o`ku`ku` However,...
I have a file, and some lines contain unicode characters with diacritical marks in them. I would like to delete all lines in the file that contain any unicode diacritical accent character (unicode 0x0300 - unicode 0x0362). I can blow away pretty much any other unicode in the file as range matches like the following function fine: :g/[{...
Hi, I have read few articles about different Windows C entry pooints, wmain and WinMain. So, if I am correct, these are added to C language compilers for Windows OS. But, how are implemented? For example, wmain gets Unicode as argv[], but its Os that sends these arguments to program, so is there any special field in the .exe file entry...
The title pretty much sums it up. I have a hebrew-containing String used in a NSUrl: NSString * urlS = @"http://irrelevanttoyourinterests/some.aspx?foo=bar&this=that&Text=תל אביב" I would like to convert in into: Text=%u05EA%u05DC%20%u05D0%u05d1%u05d9%u05d1 and then send it as a GET request. I have tried many encoding metho...
Hi, I'm struggling with print and unicode conversion. Here is some code executed in the 2.5 windows interpreter. >>> import sys >>> print sys.stdout.encoding cp850 >>> print u"é" é >>> print u"é".encode("cp850") é >>> print u"é".encode("utf8") ├® >>> print u"é".__repr__() u'\xe9' >>> class A(): ... def __unicode__(self): ... r...
Are there Unicode characters to represent bundles (and partial bundles) of 5 in the style of the tally/five-bar-gate? If not, what would be the most standard/semantic/accessible solution to this problem? Things I've tried but don't like: Using the numbers 1-5 - easily confusing (3 bundles of 5 looks like 555) 1-4 pipes with strike-th...
Can UTF-8 encode 5 or 6 byte sequences, allowing all Unicode characters to be encoded? I'm getting conflicting standards. I need to be able to support every Unicode character, not just those in the U+0000..U+10FFFF range. (All quotes are from RFC 3629) Section 3: In UTF-8, characters from the U+0000..U+10FFFF range (the UTF-16 ...
Hi. I'm trying to remove diacritic characters from a pangram in Polish. I'm using code from Michael Kaplan's blog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2007/05/14/2629747.aspx, however, with no success. Consider following pangram: "Pchnąć w tę łódź jeża lub ośm skrzyń fig.". Everything works fine but for letter "ł", I still get "ł". ...
I am trying to use unicode characters (Tibetan script, but similar issues must arise for Chinese, Devanagari, etc.) in MediaWiki software to create page names. However, after a certain number of Tibetan characters the system refuses to create a page because the settings in the underlying MySQL database allow for page titles to be only 25...
Hi, I am having a problem using Djajaxice with international characters...

What are the difficulties inherent in ASCII and Extended ASCII and how these difficulties are overcome by Unicode? Can some one explain me the unicode compatibility? And what does the terms associated with Unicode like Planes, Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), Suplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP), Suplementary Ideographic Plane (SIP), S...
Let's say I have a random Chinese character, 玩. I want to convert it to Unicode, which would be U+73A9. How could I do this in C#? ...
Currently our pages are being output with the Unicode BOM. I have found one way of removing this by adding the following to my masterpage's OnInit. Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.UTF8Encoding(false); Where the false being passed to the UTF8Encoding constructor disables the BOM. This works fine, but I'd prefer to set this in...
I have an application which uses MS SQL Server 2005 as the DBMS and jTDS as the JDBC driver. All the columns storing text are of type VARCHAR. A sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false parameter has been specified for the driver in order to prevent it sending all strings as unicode (which would cause an index scan instead of index seek for i...
I'm using ruby 1.9 and trying to find out which regex I need to make this true: Encoding.default_internal = Encoding.default_external = 'utf-8' "föö".match(/(\w+)/u)[1] == "föö" # => false ...
am wondering, that each char in unicode has a code point; what's the analogous term for a character in a font? i never understood the part of the process when a decoded file needs to be mapped to font (or fonts, by some modern font substitution techonolgy) for example, when a text editor has decoded a file from it's character encoding,...
How do you count unicode characters in a UTF-8 file in C++? Perhaps if someone would be so kind to show me a "stand alone" method, or alternatively, a short example using http://icu-project.org/index.html. EDIT: An important caveat is that I need to build counts of each character, so it's not like I'm counting the total number of charac...
Hi! I'm creating a browser-based form verification script that checks if the input doesn't have any uppercase characters according to Unicode Standards. My definition of an uppercase character is a character that has a lowercase mapping. If a certain character in the input string doesn't have a lowercase or uppercase mapping (like chine...
Sorry if this isn't the right overflow for this question. I need a unicode character that is as long as ⎢ (23A2, LEFT SQUARE BRACKET EXTENSION) but lines up horizontally with ⎮ (23AE, INTEGRAL EXTENSION). Is there such a character? ...
