I want to have Diacritical r in my wygwam editor's special character list. I have some special characters at the moment but not Řř. Can anyone tell me how to enable/add this please?
Current special character list
Thanks.
Code is
with open("test.csv", 'a') as csvfile:
writer = csv.writer(csvfile)
for row in pre_list1:
row.decode('utf-8')
print row
I want the question marks to show their true values, essentially. These boxes are supposed to be Korean letters. I am not sure if I have to download a language pack for my terminal. I don't know how though. Thanks!
Here is the locale:
I had to change the system locale from English to Korean.
I want to add TM symbol as a superscript to button text. Like "DemoTM" text and TM should be superscript of Demo text.
Any Solution would be great help.
Thanks
The Unicode superscript trademark is U2122 so
Button.Caption = "Demo" & ChrW$(&H2122)
You must obviously use a font that contains this glyph, for example MS Sans Serif does not, Segoe UI does.
No need to do this at run time.
Choose a Command button font that supports this symbol. Then in the Properties pane you can directly paste Demo™ for the Caption property's value.
If need be you can copy the character from the Character Map applet.
You can also paste this value into a source String literal if you want to do it at run time:
Command1.Caption = "Demo™"
No need for further gyrations.
I get some text string from service, which contains Unicode control characters
(i.e \u202B or \u202A and others for Arabic language support).
But while debugging I can't see them in default text visualizer. So I need to enable display for such characters to determine which of them my text consists of. There is checkbox in text visualizer "show all characters", but it doesn't work as I expect.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Those are codes for explicit RLE and LRE order, ie if in RLE something should be displayed in LRE order.

The code page on my Windows is set to ANSI (Latin1, Windows-1252).
I create a font with CreateFont and pass RUSSIAN_CHARSET in fdwCharSet
This is what I experience:
Windows controls (like a Static for example) using this font ignore the font's character set: the string passed to SetWindowTextA is displayed with Latin characters
After selecting this font on the DC, GDI text functions (Ext)TextOutA and DrawTextA use the character set of the font. Strings passed to them are displayed with cyrillic letters.
Why? When is the charset parameter of the font taken into account and when is it ignored? Can I force windows controls to use the font's character set?
You will have to convert the text to Unicode and call SetWindowTextW() instead of SetWindowTextA().
Make sure the window's class is registered with RegisterClassW() and not RegisterClassA(). This is what really determines if a window is Unicode. You can use IsWindowUnicode() to verify that the window is really Unicode.
Make sure you pass unhandled messages to DefWindowProcW() and not DefWindowProcA().
Or, if the window is a dialog, just make sure it is created with CreateDialogW() or DialogBoxParamW().
>Can I force windows controls to use the font's character set?
AFAIK no, you can't.
SetWindowTextA just converts the argument to Unicode, then calls SetWindowTextW: both windows kernel, shell, and GDI are unicode.
To convert the argument to Unicode, SetWindowTextA uses the setting from Window's regional options ("Language for non-Unicode programs").
Here is what is happening:
You call SetWindowText with something like "\xC4\xEE\xE1\xF0\xEE\xE5 xF3\xF2\xF0\xEE".
You're compiled as an ANSI application rather than Unicode, so that maps to a call to SetWindowTextA.
SetWindowTextA sees that the window was created in ANSI mode, so it sets the string directly. (If it had been a Unicode window, then it would converts the ANSI input string to Unicode and passes it onto SetWindowTextW.)
The ANSI window converts the ANSI string to Unicode so that it can display it. But it doesn't know the string is in a different code page than the default one for the system. It's this conversion that's changing everything back to Latin characters. It assumes that the input string is in the process's default code page (Windows 1252 in your case). So now you have a bunch of accented Latin characters instead of a string of Cyrillic ones.
The control tries to display this Unicode string using something like DrawTextW or TextOutW.
The lower level part of the system says, "Oh crap, this string is a bunch of Latin characters, but the user has chosen a Cyrillic font." To solve the problem, it uses font linking (or font fallback, I get those terms confused) to effectively select a font compatible with 1252.
You see Latin gobbledygook instead of proper Russian.
I tried coming up with a minimal way to do what you need, but I failed. My first idea was to do the conversion yourself and call SetWindowTextW directly:
void SetWindowTextRussian(HWND hwnd, char *pszCyrillic) {
const int cchCyrillic = ::lstrlen(pszCyrillic);
const int cchUnicode = 4 * cchCyrillic; // worst case
WCHAR *pszUnicode = new WCHAR[cchUnicode];
// See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317756(v=vs.85).aspx
const UINT CP_CYRILLIC = 1251;
if (::MultiByteToWideChar(CP_CYRILLIC, 0, pszCyrillic, -1,
pszUnicode, cchUnicode) > 0) {
::SetWindowTextW(hwnd, pszUnicode);
}
delete [] pszUnicode;
}
But this doesn't work. I suspect that since the window was created as an ANSI window, the Unicode string is converted back to ANSI (assuming the wrong code page again), and then you get question marks instead of Latin nonsense.
I think you're going to have to convert to a Unicode app, or only run with the default code page set to 1251.
Update: If you control the creation of the window (e.g., you call CreateWindow directly rather than having a dialog box instantiate the controls), then you can probably make the above work by calling CreateWindowW directly and creating a Unicode window for the controls that matter.
Consider hooking gdi32full.dll GetCodePage to select the code page that you need. CP_UTF8 for example. It has single pointer param, returns single DWORD (the code page) and stdcall calling convention.
