I'm working for a Bulgarian company and they use the Cyrillic alphabet. The Cyrillic characters are now showing as ????? in QlikView and also in QlikSense. Does anyone know how to make this show properly?
Bulgarian people will not be happy about that but Cyrillic problem is fixed by selecting in Windows Regional settings option "Install Files for East Asian languages" (in older Windows version). In Windows 10 should be enough to add Bulgarian language.

What is the actual encoding used in Access' VBA editor? I have been searching for a concrete answer for quite a while but with no luck.
I thought it was UTF-8 but I'm not very certain.
My main issue is that when writing a query in VBA I sometimes need to test it in Access' query editor. When copy-pasting however, I lose my native characters (greek in my case) as they turn to gibberish.
I have tried pasting in a text editor and saving it as different encodings but I can never recover the original characters.
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Let me explain this a bit further:
As you can see I can write my greek characters in the VBA editor normally:
However, copying the first line in Access' query editor, I get the following:
Same goes for a simple text editor:
So I am inclined to think that the problem lies inside the clipboard, due to the encoding used for the greek characters. I guess they are not Unicode, as I indeed have to make the change in the System Locale for non-unicode characters. So how are these characters saved/copied? In what encoding?
Answer
Actually this problem was solved by switching the keyboard input language to greek (EL), when copying the actual test string.
I am still not sure however, as to why that happens. If anyone can provide some insight into this, I would love to hear it.
Thanks again
The VBA editor does not support Unicode characters, either for input or display. Instead, it uses the older Windows technology called "code pages" to provide support for non-ASCII characters.
So, the character encoding in the VBA editor corresponds to the code page that is used by the Windows system locale as specified in the "Regional and Language Options" control panel. For example, with my system locale set to "Greek (Greece)"
I can enter Greek characters into my VBA code
However, if I switch my Windows system locale back to "English (United States)"
and re-open my VBA project, the Greek characters have changed to the corresponding characters in the new code page
If "Control Panel" -> "Regional and Language Options" -> "System Locale" is set correctly but you still suffer from this problem some times then note that while you're copying your keyboard layout must be switched to the non-English language.
This is applicable to all non-unicode-aware applications not only VBA.

Looks like making sure your OS is set properly, and font choice inside the VBA editor.
I had a similar problem with Cyrillic characters. Part of the problem is solved when set the System locale correctly.
However, The VBA editor still does not recognize cyrillic characters when it has to interpret them from inside itself.
For example it can not display characters from the command:
Msgbox "Здравей"
but if the sheet name is in cyrillic characters it does it well:
Msgbox Activesheet.Name
Finally, it turned out that these kind of problems were solved when I changed to 32 bits version of MS Office.
I saw my regional language named Malayalam in the Supported Languages list of my Windows Phone application WMManifest file. Is that means that i could display 'Malayalam' language on my WP8 application ? How can i build an application in my Regional language ?
I didn't find any sample yet. Please need support .
PLEASE NOTE : I copied some words & pasted it as Text property of a
Textblock , it displays well in windows phone screen. Are they providing TextBox typing support in Regional languages?
For that You have to download Regional Keyboard to support that
that can be downloaded from Settings of Windows phone
Windows Phone 8 does support the many indic languages, one important thing to know it processes/inputs/displays Malayalam language but doesn't have the Malayalam keyboard. So far it only has support for Hindi in Indic languages.
I am trying to provide Asian character support for PDF documents created using Jasper Reports.
I have tried configuring jasper to use Asian character encoding with the iText-Asian libraries to no avail. For all of the different charsets I used the Asian characters always appear blank.
Has anyone successfully configured jasper reports to displayed Asian characters in PDF documents? If so How?!!
Yes. Font Extensions are the answer to everything. Well, at least they are the answer to this.
I wrote an article about font extensions. It shows specifically the case of Asian characters not showing up in the generated PDF, which appears to be your main symptom. By doing that you're sure to use a good font. And once you're using an appropriate font, then all your reports should be fine.
Perhaps someone could help me : I've got a problem with my project. I've got a dynamic pdf report, generated by Jasper, which contains dynamic TextField in Japanese, Russian or English text, and could be in Bold, Itallic or Normal Font. This report is generated in a multi- language application, but I've no way to know in which language the input text has been originally written.
I try to use the font delivered by Microsoft ARIAUNI.TTF, but the problem is that this font doesn't work with bold or italic Japanese characters.
I've got some solutions (like remove all bold or italic TextField in my jrxml file), but I don't find it an ideal solution.
Has anyone had ever such a problem ? Does someone have a good solution for it?
Thanks in advance,

We use the "Arial MS" font for Japanese characters specifically. Works nice for us.
I have buid a multilingual Windows CE 6.0 OS for differents roman european languages and several east asian: chinese, japanese and Korean.
To do this, I have followed the informations described par MS in the article "How to create a multilingual OS Design" (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee491398.aspx).
On the targeted device (an AT61SAM9G45 dev kit), I can successfully swicth OS language through "Menu / Settings / Control Panel / Regional Settings", tab "User Interface Language". That's fine and work perfectly for european languages, chinese and for japanese.
But, when I switch to Korean, all characters are display as en empty square!
If a build an OS with only Korean, the characters are Ok. If a build an OS with Korean and Japanese only, all of them are displayed with empty squares (chinese was ok when alone or with roman languages)
Any idea to have korean fonts displayed in a multilingual OS?
Thank's
For a situation were several asian and roman languages are required, I believe it is required to customize the code pages of the OS image. There is some documentation about this here:
