I am using the Unicode version of the Inno Setup. I am using Hindi as a language. I have download the Hindi.islu from:
https://github.com/jrsoftware/issrc/blob/master/Files/Languages/Unofficial/Hindi.islu
There was no problem in compilation and packaging. When I try to run the setup after selecting the Hindi language, the next screen shows only gibberish.
What do you think? What am I missing here?
The Hindi.islu is missing UTF-8 byte order mark.
Just add it and the translation will work correctly.
An easy way to add the UTF-8 byte order mark is by opening the file in Windows Notepad and saving it without any change.
I have posted a bug report (it was removed meanwhile, without fixing).

I am using joomla 3 which changes character ' into â€.
Secondly it also converting any space into Â.
I tried using
and
on myhead file but still the problem persist.
My database is with collation of utf8 too.
I am using no editor on my joomla administrator.
Also on my windows operating system it is working fine but when i push files to linux server, it shows these weird sign.
I tried google search alot but in vain.
Any help will be appreciated.
One possible reason is that the files you are pushing to the Linux server have encoding other than UTF-8, they might be Windows-1252.
Here's one suggestion to test if this might be the case.
Create a new text document in Notepad, then Save As, and under Encoding select UTF-8
Upload this test file and check the results. If this still doesn't help, you might want to double check preferences on your SFTP application, just in case it is overriding file encoding.
Good luck!
I had same problem, I deactivate Google ModPagespeed on my Cpanel and my problem has been solved.
Remove "ModPagespeed On" from .htaccess
I have a text file encoded in Windows-1250. I'm using Windows 7 EN.
I would like to iterate through this file line by line in Perl code with
print. In console I cannot see the diacritic signs.
Could you give me any solution?
It depends on what you are going to do with the text, but for many cases
it's possible to code independently on encoding. Anyway, if you redirect
output to a file and the result is OK (read: can be displayed opened by
text editor in Windows 1250 mode using proper font), your code is not the
problem.
The other thing is that you want to see CE characters in your console.
For that to work you need to do:
set your console window to use font capable of displaying them (you
may need to install such font, I don't remember The Right Way in Win 7)
set your console to Windows-1250 mode using command chcp 1250
Note that this is basically the same you would need to do with your viewer
or editor to see the characters. Except that while many editors are able
to detect encoding themselves (sometimes even correctly) and pick the right
font, consoles typically need help from you.
Your problem might be similar to what has been solved here. I also
recommend reading the other post I'm referencing there.
I wrote this question and it turns out the code is correct but it doesnt display properly on my system. I dont understand! why might it do this? My system is set to united states english. I dont know what the problem can be.
This makes it difficult to develop unicode apps when it doesn't display properly on my system :(
-Edit- To be more clear. I made a winform app using .NET and the text appears incorrect on my machine but works on others. I can copy/paste text into my app but i wont know if it ran correctly since i see nonsense instead of text. However most unicode works. Special chars (like >16bits) does not.
I assume from the question you linked to that you are on a windows machine. The problem could be that windows does not have a global encoding option at all. The united states english is a language setting which as far as I know does not mean what you expect it to mean, as in it does not set all of your programs to show text in a unicode format.
The quick answer is that especially in windows, each program that displays text to the user is responsible for the character encoding. You have to make sure that the program and the environment where the problem appears are set to display text using some unicode format, such as UTF-8.

I have several Java files that have Japanese strings in them, and are encoded in UTF-8. I use Eclipse. However, whenever Eclipse touches them in any automated way, it turns the Japanese into garbage. A good example of this is JAWJAW, the Java Japanese WordNet interface. You can see the code on the website with Japanese characters in it. If you load the project into Eclipse, though, everything will fail because the characters are garbled (bakemoji).
Does anyone know how to fix this?
What is the default encoding for your project?
Future version of Eclipse (like e4) could be set by default to UTF-8, which would avoid any automatic conversion into "garbage".
See bug 108668 for more on that reflexion:
No solution will be perfect. However in the long term I think the current platform specific approach is clearly inferior to a platform-independent UTF-8 default.
+1 UTF-8 should be the obvious default character set for all text files, I had
a problem with eclipse when I was using an English Windows XP system and trying
to open a file in eclipse with Chinese characters, as you can imagine the
display is completely messed up and eclipse doesn't tell me what I need to do.
I had to spend time google for answers. I had to put -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in
eclipse.ini so that it behaves correctly.
Making UTF-8 the default is not the right solution for the problem you were
having.
+1 for embedding encoding in the character stream wherever we can (like XML, HTTP, some kinds of file systems).
Encoding is meta-info for the data and belongs to the data, not to a separate user-changeable setup.
The primary reason for this cause is - the unicode supported font is missing from the system fonts. So do the following things to get it done.
Download Arial Unicode MS font and put it inside windows->fonts
directory in windows.
Change the default text encoding in eclipse to UTF-8 by navigating to
Window->Preferences->General->Workspace->Text File encoding
->Other->UTF-8
set Arial Unicode MS font to the Text Font attribute by navigating to
Window->Preferences->General->General->Appearance->colors and
Fonts->Basic->Text Font (select it)->Edit
I'm working on an open source project. The original project contains comments in russian and is using codepage 1251. I'm using codepage 1252 and the russian comments aren't displayed correctly in Visual Studio Express 2008, not nice but anyway I can't read russian. Someone using codepage 950 (traditional chinese) tried to compile the project and was unable to do it, because of the code page! Now it is really annoying.
I think that using unicode (and more exactly UTF-8 with signature) as file format for the code source is the way to go.
Problem: how to convert the whole source code easily?
I have already though about:
Let Visual Studio save the source code as UTF-8. But: My computer is using codepage 1252 and I found no way to tell VS that the original code source is using codepage 1251 so that the conversion won't be correct.
Edit: As pointed by "LicenseQ" there is a way to open a single file in VS with another encoding: click Arrow near Open button in open dialog, chose "Open With" and then chose "Code Editor (with encoding)".
Of course I could change the codepage of my computer for the time of the conversion. But it's a global setting in Windows and you need to reboot the computer so that I'm looking for a more friendly solution.
I've found a tool called CodePageConverter which do exactly what I need, but can't a do it as batch job.
Does anyone know another tool (a command line tool would be perfect) to convert from a codepage to UTF-8?
Edit: As suggest by tkotitan seems iconv to be the solution I was looking for. There is a windows version of iconv. And now that I know the name of this tool, I was able to find over posts on stackoverflow dealing with analogous issues.
In a unix world the utility is called iconv.
Not sure if there is a windows equivalent.
You can ask VS 2008 to open file with encoding (click Arrow near Open button in open dialog)
Or you can change regional settings to add russian region as default ;)
