I'm chasing a problem where our database suddenly doesn't want to deal with unicode characters anymore ...

Had to reconfigure, convert and restart the database.

That's better ...

Is that 'K M A' in another language

Posted by: SirAndy Aug 10 2013, 03:46 PM

If you're on windows and the quote below

does *not* look like this image




You need to do the following:

- Go to your "Control Panel" and select "Fonts"
- On the left, click on "Font settings"
- Uncheck (!) "Hide fonts based on language settings"
- Click OK

This will enable full unicode support on your computer ...

looks ok to me but i'm drinking

Actually, that is your local computer switching left/right on those characters since they are in a language that is written right to left.

On mine, they look exactly like the picture posted.

So, i guess that laugh is on you ...

Try it an octave lower... ya... That might work.

It's refreshing to see that most people have no clue what unicode means ...

Posted by: mepstein Aug 10 2013, 10:09 PM

I'm pretty sure it's similar to a unibrow but lower down on your body.

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 10 2013, 10:48 PM

It's Greek to me.

Thanks for the work, whatever it is that your doing

Unicode is the ancient language of the unicorn. Long thought to be permanently forgotten but Andy found it. Has the Smithsonian called you yet?

Posted by: Joe Sharp Aug 11 2013, 06:29 AM

Thanks for the work Andy. I only took in about one third of the link on Unicode. Wow, very foward thinking. It leaves a lot of space for growth.

Posted by: 76-914 Aug 11 2013, 07:36 AM

I totally understand. There are several characters that I don't want to deal with anymore, either.

Posted by: euro911 Aug 11 2013, 11:42 AM

Is King George one of them?

Posted by: Joe Sharp Aug 11 2013, 12:32 PM

He does not even qualify as a Glyph.

Posted by: KELTY360 Aug 11 2013, 12:38 PM

Fixed it for you Billy. No need to thank me.

Posted by: euro911 Aug 11 2013, 02:43 PM

In researching this, did you also run across the history regarding an ancient language from the extinct dinosaur called the Thesaurus?

Apparently, they had a very large and intellectual vocabulary ...

Posted by: bulitt Aug 11 2013, 04:49 PM

I took fortran II in college with the card punch machine...older than the dinosaurs.

They tried to take down Jimmy Fallon too

Interesting Andy. The team I've been working on at work deals with databases/GIS data, a great majority of which contains a variety of languages. Previously if something contained Arabic or an Asiatic language, they were simply deleting that individual feature.

It took me two weeks of asking them "Why don't we just look at supporting Unicode?" before they finally listened. I guess that's what I'm destined to have to deal with as a young(er) guy.

Works fine for me, do you still have problems with the classifieds?

Yepp, welcome to the corporate world.
