non-ascii-characters

This question already has an answer here: Replace multiple letters with accents with gsub 11 answers I have some strings in R in UTF-8 encoding that contain accents. E.g. string="Hølmer" or string="Elizalde-González" Is there any nice function in R to replace the accented characters in these strings by their unaccented counterpart? I saw some solutions in PHP here , but how do I do this in R? E.g. the PHP code $unwanted_array = array( 'Š'=>'S', 'š'=>'s', 'Ž'=>'Z', 'ž'=>'z', 'À'=>'A', 'Á'=>'A', 'Â'=>'A', 'Ã'=>'A', 'Ä'=>'A', 'Å'=>'A', 'Æ'=>'A', 'Ç'=>'C', 'È'=>'E', 'É'=>'E', 'Ê'=>'E', 'Ë'=>'E',

var str="INFO] :谷���新道, ひば���ヶ丘２丁���, ひばりヶ���, 東久留米市 (Higashikurume)"; and i need to remove all non-ascii character from string, means str only contain "INFO] (Higashikurume)"; ASCII is in range of 0 to 127, so: str.replace(/[^\x00-\x7F]/g, ""); It can also be done with a positive assertion of removal, like this: textContent = textContent.replace(/[\u{0080}-\u{FFFF}]/gu,""); This uses unicode. In Javascript, when expressing unicode for a regular expression, the characters are specified with the escape sequence \u{xxxx} but also the flag 'u' must present; note the regex has flags 'gu' . I

I need to decide whether to render geometric symbols in a web GUI (e.g. arrows and triangles for buttons, menus, etc.) as Unicode symbols (MUCH easier and color-independent) or GIF/PNG files (lots of hassle I would like to avoid). However, I have seen clients that have trouble displaying even advanced punctuation symbols declared as unicode characters ( Example ). Does anybody know from which version on, OSs / Service Packs / Applications ship with Unicode versions of the standard fonts? There is, for example, Microsoft's Arial unicode that ships with Office since 1999, however I do not have

I need a Regex in a C# program. I've to capture a name of a file with a specific structure. I used the \w char class, but the problem is that this class doesn't match any accented char. Then how to do this? I just don't want to put the most used accented letter in my pattern because we can theoretically put every accent on every letter. So I though there is maybe a syntax, to say we want a case insensitive(or a class which takes in account accent), or a "Regex" option which allows me to be case insensitive. Do you know something like this? Thank you very much Case-insensite works for me in

I have a schema in "utf8 -- UTF-8 Unicode" as charset and a collation of "utf8_spanish_ci". All the inside tables are InnoDB with same charset and collation as mentioned. Here comes the problem: with a query like SELECT * FROM people p WHERE p.NAME LIKE '%jose%'; I get 83 result rows. I should have 84 results, because I know it. Changing where for: WHERE p.NAME LIKE '%JOSE%'; I get the exact same 83 rows. With combinations like JoSe, Jose, JOSe, etc. All the same 83 rows are reported. The problem comes when accents play in game. If do: WHERE p.NAME LIKE '%josé%'; I get no results. 0 rows. But

How can rows with non-ASCII characters be returned using SQL Server? If you can show how to do it for one column would be great. I am doing something like this now, but it is not working select * from Staging.APARMRE1 as ar where ar.Line like '%[^!-~ ]%' For extra credit, if it can span all varchar columns in a table, that would be outstanding! In this solution, it would be nice to return three columns: The identity field for that record. (This will allow the whole record to be reviewed with another query.) The column name The text with the invalid character Id | FieldName | InvalidText | ----

I'm on US-English OS X 10.6.4 and try to store files with Asian characters in its name in a Git repository. OK, let's create such a file in a Git working tree: $ touch どうもありがとうミスターロボット.txt Git is showing it as octal-escaped UTF-8 form: $ git version git version 1.7.3.1 $ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # "\343\201\250\343\202\231\343\201\206\343\202\202\343\201\202\343\202\212\343\201\213\343\202\231\343\201\250\343\201\206\343\203\237\343\202\271\343\202\277\343\203\274\343\203\255\343\203

Is there a routine available in Delphi 2007 to convert the characters in the high range of the ANSI table (>127) to their equivalent ones in pure ASCII (<=127) according to a locale (codepage)? I know some chars cannot translate well but most can, esp. in the 192-255 range: À → A à → a Ë → E ë → e Ç → C ç → c – (en dash) → - (hyphen - that can be trickier) — (em dash) → - (hyphen) Zoë Peterson WideCharToMultiByte does best-fit mapping for any characters that aren't supported by the specified character set, including stripping diacritics. You can do exactly what you want by using that and
