unicode-normalization

Need to extract the initial character from a Korean word in MS-Excel and MS-Access. When I use Left("한글",1) it will return the first syllable i.e 한, what I need is the initial character i.e ㅎ . Is there a function to do this? or at least an idiom? If you know how to get the Unicode value from the String I'd be able to work it out from there but I'm sure I'd be reinventing the wheel. (yet again) I think what you are looking for is a Byte Array Dim aByte() as byte aByte="한글" should give you the two unicode values for each character in the string Disclaimer: I know little about Access or VBA, but

Am wondering how to normalize strings (containing utf-8/utf-16) in C/C++. In .NET there is a function String.Normalize . I used UTF8-CPP in the past but it does not provide such a function. ICU and Qt provide string normalization but I prefer lightweight solutions. Is there any "lightweight" solution for this? Avi As I wrote in another question , utf8proc is a very nice, lightweight, library for basic Unicode functionality, including Unicode string normalization. For Windows, there is the NormalizeString() function (unfortunately for Vista and later only - as far as I see on MSDN): http://msdn

I tried s=Normalizer.normalize(s, Normalizer.Form.NFD).replaceAll("[^\\p{ASCII}]", ""); But it seems that GWT API doesn't provide such fonction. I tried also : s=s.replace("é",e); But it doesn't work either The scenario is I'am trying to générate token from the clicked Widget's text for the history management okrasz You can take ASCII folding filter from Lucene and add to your project. You can just take foldToASCII() method from ASCIIFoldingFilter (the method does not have any dependencies). There is also a patch in Jira that has a full class for that without any dependencies - see here . It

I have a UTF8 string with combining diacritics. I want to match it with the \w regex sequence. It matches characters that have accents, but not if there is a latin character with combining diacritics. >>> re.match("a\w\w\wz", u"aoooz", re.UNICODE) <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb7788f38> >>> print u"ao\u00F3oz" aoóoz >>> re.match("a\w\w\wz", u"ao\u00F3oz", re.UNICODE) <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb7788f38> >>> re.match("a\w\w\wz", u"aoo\u0301oz", re.UNICODE) >>> print u"aoo\u0301oz" aóooz (Looks like the SO markdown processer is having trouble with the combining diacritics in the above, but there

I have two strings in Javascript: "_strange_chars_µö¬é@zendesk.com.eml" ( f1 ) and "_strange_chars_µö¬é@zendesk.com.eml" ( f2 ). At first glance, they look identical (and, indeed, on StackOverflow, they may be; I'm not sure what happens when they are pasted into a form like this.) In my application, however, f1[16] // ö f2[16] // o f1[17] // ¬ f2[17] // ̈ That is, where f1 uses the ö character, f2 uses an o and a diacritic ¨ as a separate character. What comparison can I do that will show these two strings to be "equal"? f1 uses the ö character, f2 uses an o and a diacritic ¨ as a separate

I'm trying to download some content from a dictionary site like http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/apple?s=t The problem I'm having is that the original paragraph has all those squiggly lines, and reverse letters, and such, so when I read the local files I end up with those funny escape characters like \x85, \xa7, \x8d, etc. My question is, is there any way i can convert all those escape characters into their respective UTF-8 characters, eg if there is an 'à' how do i convert that into a standard 'a' ? Python calling code: import os word = 'apple' os.system(r'wget.lnk --directory-prefix=G:
