Unicode-problem with Chinese characters

Former Member — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:36:34 GMT

Dear all,

We have our system upgraded to ECC 6.0 from 4.6 C. There are some chinese characters hardcoded in the program.. That is, for numbers 1 to 10 we have chinese characters hardcoded which is used later on to print the total amount in words in the SAPscript form.

But in the unicode system, even when I log in in ZF(chinese) and see those characters in the program, they appear as junk characters and they print junk characters also. Is there anyway I can hardcode the chinese characters and use them in unicode system?

Experts kindly help me, since it is urgent. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

Regards

Veena

In Unicode characters have doubled it's size. I mean (if I recall well) that before a character needed 1 byte to be stored and now it needs 2 bytes. So now the program is reading 2 bytes instead of 1 and it's missinterpreting that character. If you have a chineese keyboard try to re-type the hardcode, or else put in the progam the corresponding Unicode code [http://unicode.org/charts/] in hexadecimal.

I hope it helps!

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I do not have a chinese key board. The language is traditional chinese (ZF). I do not find it in the chart. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Veena
