How to: UTF8, UTF16, and UTF32

UTF8, UTF16, and UTF32

What are the differences between UTF8, UTF16, and UTF32. I understand that all 3 will store Unicode, and that how it stores the chars is different, but is there an advantage to choosing one over the other?

Answer: UTF8, UTF16, and UTF32

Exporting vCards from FileMaker Pro 13 | HomeBase Software

Back in August, I reached out for help with outputting Vcards from FileMaker and Douglas Alder was one of several (thanks  to you all, btw) who reached out to help.  And he was right:  it’s way harder than it should be to output to both Mac and  Windows, and the biggest issue is with the “Export Field Contents” script step, which does not offer a way to export in any other format other than…

One of the biggest issues when using SMPP to send text messages is that you want the output request from your application to be able to send text in UCS2 format especially if you are sending text in Arabic language

You Can solve this issue in ROR  by the following:

After installing your SMPP plugin, you have to change your data encoding to int 8 by adding this line to the configuration file :

:data_coding: 8

or

editing the following file

RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/ruby_smpp/lib/pdu/submit_sm.rb

got to line 30 and change the code to the following

@data_coding  options[:data_coding]?options[:data_coding]:8

changing the data_coding to 8 means that the output format will be UCS2 which is a 16 data bit coding

after changing the data coding you have to change the text encoding to UTF-16 so as any mobile device can understand it

go to your Model and add the following method

def self.send_notification(mobile,message) sms = SMSWrapper.new string= Iconv.conv('UTF-16BE','UTF-8',message) r = sms.sendSMS(mobile, string) RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info "===>SMS successfully sent" end
