While I was using Burp I noticed that it has problem to show Hebrew characters.
Reproduce:
Open Burp Professional, go to Dashboard and start a "New scan".
Enter the following URL (as an example):
https://blog.ravmilim.co.il
After couple of seconds it will show you the results in the Target tab:
In the "User options" tab I changed the Font and the "Character Sets" to UTF-8 but it still the same.
Any idea how it can be solved?
simply change the font to Courier new.

In Rundeck section "Log Output" I see question symbols instead of Russian letters in the text of log.
Where can I configure the correct display of Russian characters in the Log Output.
It seems that you need to set UTF-8 as default encoding at the moment of start Rundeck, try adding RDECK_JVM_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" on the rundeckd file, take a look at this (please do no edit the profile file directly). Here you can see the same issue on GitHub, especially this comment.
I have a manifest.json according to the MDN spec and while it works correctly when browsing the website from a mobile device (add to homescreen popup shows up, theme color and icons load...etc) Chrome Dev Tools is unable to parse it. The same problem persists on Lighthouse (chrome extension).
Has anyone seen a similar issue? I would think that the JSON is invalid however copy-pasting into Web App Validator it is marked correct, but when inputting the URL it giving a parse error:
File isn't valid JSON: SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 0
It is probably a BOM character issue in the manifest.json file.
If you have Notepad++ on your machine, try open the file, click menu "Encoding" -> "Encode in UTF8 without BOM" and then save the file.
If you don't have Notepad++, search Google for "Remove BOM character" for your favorite IDE/editor.
On my FF browser, the encoding is set to UTF-8. The french accents are displayed properly on all pages except one page. On the trouble page, they show up as '?' marks. When I change the encoding to western, the trouble page displays french accents properly, while the other pages now do not display french accents properly.
On IE, the setting is UTF-8 and all pages show proper french accents
I know it's an old post. But, I was facing the same issue and I used htmlentities() in php, when nothing else worked out. This solved the purpose for me, so thought of mentioning it here so that someone else can benefit from it.
What's the web page?
Most likely the page's own encoding is ISO 8859-1 or something similar (a pure 8-bit encoding). Some web pages don't bother to specify their own encoding in the Content-Type: header, leaving the browser to guess. Apparently in this case Internet Explorer guesses better than Firefox.
If you have the curl command, try curl --head URL to see how and whether the encoding is specified, or right-click and View Page Info in Firefox.
You might consider contacting the owner of the web page and asking them to set the encoding properly (or, as I'd do, just ignore it).
I see with some apps like Toodledo they use checkmarks for their revision history. How can you show/use special characters in an App Store product description? Does it allow HTML or do you just have to use ascii character codes?
Any tips/tricks for better presentation of our app's product information?
Thank you.
I think Apple just made the rule stricter on the App Store. I have been using special characters in my metadatas for a very long time but got a bad surprise today when trying to submit a new version:
Got this error message on iTunes Connect:
What's New In This Version must not contain the following characters: ★, ❤
Simply enter the characters using the character table in OS X.
To show it, go to OS X System Preferences -> International and select "Show Input Sources in Menu Bar". You should get a flag symbol next to the clock in the menu bar. Clicking on it results in a menu where you can open the character table, in which you can select and paste pretty much any character.
I am the author of the Toodledo app. Here is how I did it. I found the character I wanted on the internet by searching for "unicode symbols". I found it on wikipedia
I then copy and pasted the checkmark ✓ into my app description. And every time I need to make a new checkmark, I go and copy and paste it again since I don't know how to type it. There are lots of interesting symbols to choose from. I also use a star★
UnicodeChecker is an excellent Mac app that contains a database of over 100,000 characters defined in Unicode. You can search for characters by their assigned English names. For example, search for "check" to find several kinds of checkmark characters. Once found, you can copy a character and paste into your description.
UnicodeChecker is free of cost.
I am using Crystal Reports 10. The reports are obtaining data from an Oracle 10G database. We have some data in Arabic. When I try to display the Arabic data it is showing as ?.
Any ideas on what I can do to display this correctly?
I've never used crystal reports and my oracle knowledge is limited, however I've done some work in Arabic. Things to look out for.
Does the Database have the arabic locale installed can it display right to left text.
Under windows check the languages settings and check that the option to include support for left to right writing systems is installed.
Check that your database is the international version and not one that only supports the latin character set. It may be that there is a problem converting between ASCII and Unicode.
Arabic Characters are not on the same ASCII code page as the Latin Character set your machine will be used to using, there might be a special version of crystal reports that supports arabic.
Check that the machine you are running crystal reports on has the arabic locale/fonts installed on it.
UPDATE
I've Had a quick look on the internet and you might want to look at this link
Here is a summary:
This issue can be solved when you
create the reports without needing to
write any extra code. I haven't tested
this solution because I don't have any
data to test it against.
First you want to make sure that you
are using a UNICODE font which I'm
sure you are probably already doing.
Then to configure the "Right to Left"
you can right click on any field and
select "Format Text" or "Format
Field". You should see a "Paragraph"
tab. In there you can set the content
to be "Left to Right" or "Right to
Left". The button on the right allows
you to make this setting conditional
on a parameter value or something like
that. I hope this helps.
Right Click on field > Format Object > Paragraph then Reading Order Right to left
Make sure you have Arabic support installed in Windows.
Add the correct LANG and NLS_LANG to your registry (for me it's ARABIC__QATAR.AR8MSWIN1256)
right click on your data base and select properties
then select options then change collation to Arabic_CI_AS
