special-characters

I am new to C# and was experimenting with the ASP.Net GridView (framework 3.5), and I found out a big problem when the gridView text contains the following: ñ/Ñ/á/Á/é/É/í/Í/ó/Ó/ú/Ú or a â, ê, î, ô, û, ë, ï, ü or even a ç The results end up displaying something like this: &+#+237 I made a mixture of pain by doing a table,dataset etc... to get the data from the database clean as the letter itself. I also tried making a method that cleaned the variables but it was a terrible IF. I was wondering if there was a way to make the letters appear as themselves (ñ as ñ not as &+#+237) when extracting

As per the MSDN , the following characters cannot be part of the file name: Use any character in the current code page for a name, including Unicode characters and characters in the extended character set (128–255), except for the following: ◦The following reserved characters: < (less than) > (greater than) : (colon) " (double quote) / (forward slash) \ (backslash) | (vertical bar or pipe) ?

I'am trying to seperate a string with danish characters into a NSMutableArray. But something is not working. :( My code: NSString *danishString = @"æøå"; NSMutableArray *characters = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[danishString length]]; for (int i=0; i < [danishString length]; i++) { NSString *ichar = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c", [danishString characterAtIndex:i ]]; [characters addObject:ichar]; } If I do at NSLog on the danishString it works (returns æøå); But if I do a NSLog on the characters (the array) I get some very stange characters - What is wrong? /Morten First of all,

I recently changed my c2dm push aaplucation to GCM. A new problem appeared. Its now receiving '?' instead of 'ö','ï', ... My server logs correct Strings, but the application receives '?' insteads. Do you think it could have something to do with GCM? My code is the following: public static void displayMessage(Context context, Intent intent) { Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if (extras != null) { String message = (String) extras.get("message"); Log.v("extras", extras.toString()); Util.generateNotification(context, message, intent); } } and the log is then: 10-02 22:18:23.671: V/intent(29809)

In Javascript I can type '\u00A3' to get a character using its char code. I can do this programatically to with String.fromCharCode(parseInt('00A3', 16)) . But I can't find a way to do the same for a control character. I can type them in my source code but I want a way to generate them in code. Sounds to me like you could just use this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes and use the character points defined there to insert them with \u or String.fromCharCode as in your example? PS: instead of the parseInt , you could use a literal: 0x00A3 You can easily embed octal

I am trying to read a CSV file containing questionnaire data written in Norwegian. So this file contains the letters Æ Ø Å, however R does not seem to handle these letters well, they all appear as question marks. I use this to read the data: data <- read.csv2("Responser - Vasket - 20.06.2013.csv") Is there any options I should use to let R know I have special characters? and I am using Rstudio on Windows 7. You need to specify the fileEncoding argument to read.csv2 ( not as well as (?) the encoding ). Before you get to R, it is a good idea to check what the encoding of the file is using a text

In this page , Microsoft says that XML reserved characters (and their entity) are the following ones: > > < < & & % % But in this other page , I found that also ' is a reserved character (and its entity is &apos; ). Can someone indicate me some official reference in which are listed all and only the XML reserved characters? According to the XML spec , the only characters that must be escaped when used as character content rather than markup are & (as & , & or & ) and < (as < , < or < ), plus > when it is part of the sequence ]]> . In addition, single quotes must be escaped (typically as &apos;

How can I convert the HTML entities € ► ♠ to their actual characters € ► ♠ using JavaScript? An example would be: alert(String.fromCharCode(8364)); Where 8364 is the number of the HTML entity. To replace a full body of text automatically then you will need to use this regular expression replacement example: "The price of milk is now €100000.".replace(/&#(\d{0,4});/g, function(fullStr, str) { return String.fromCharCode(str); }); The magic happens here: replace(/&#(\d{1,4});/g, function(fullStr, code) { return String.fromCharCode(code); }); The first argument to replace, /&#(\d{1,4});/g ,

i want to use following symbols for buttons in my app: arrows http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3176/arrowso.jpg here my code: Button goToFirstButton = new Button("\uE318"); Button prevPageButton = new Button("\uE312"); Button nextPageButton = new Button("\uE313"); Button goToLastButton = new Button("\uE319"); and the result is result http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/9063/resultbu.jpg It seems, that \uE318 and \uE313 are wrong. What should i use instead? For goToLastButton and goToFirstButton i prefer to use this images alt text http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5724/singlearrow.jpg but i can
