    By "unicode" do you mean Encoding.Unicode (which is UTF-16)? Both UTF-16 and UTF-8 are character encodings for the Unicode character set. Please edit to show your source data (and/or code). BTW—String is a datatype for UTF-16. Please indicate if you are using String.

    ALL UTF encodings support the entire Unicode repertoire of characters, by design. So your claim that you "cannot convert unicode "Química" directly to UTF8 because of Acute( í )" is just plain wrong. UTF-8 most definitely supports that. System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Química") works just fine (í is encoded as bytes 0xC3 0xAD in UTF-8). The same can't be said for ANSI, though. Converting a Unicode string to UTF-8 is lossless. Converting a Unicode string to ANSI is lossy.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Image
0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder.

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
