Hi,

 

We would require some more information:

 

1. Language which you are using?

2. Method (dataURL or dataXML)?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

We are using the setDataURL method.

 

Also we use vb.net to set up the maps from our application.

 

 

 

thanks,

Hi,

 

We have attached a sample code, you can take it as a reference.

 

Please note, this sample code is for FusionCharts but its UTF-8 implementation technique will work also with FusionMaps (Last 4-5 lines of the PieData.aspx.vb code file).

 

The Code you have to use is this:

//Set Proper output content-type

Response.ContentType = "text/xml; characterset=utf-8";

//Just write out the XML data

//NOTE THAT THIS PAGE DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY HTML TAG, WHATSOEVER

//Just Write out the UTF-8 tag.

Response.BinaryWrite(new byte[] { 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF });

Response.Write(xmlData.ToString());

 

How to use:

You would need to use this code exactly in the same way as given in the Attachment (PieData.aspx.vb).

-OR-

You can also just paste the above code at the end of your code, but need to replace xmlData variable with your variable name.

 

OR HOWEVER, if it is does not work for you, then please take a look at this: http://www.fusioncharts.com/forum/FindPost8054.aspx

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

 

 

This encoding works fine for some characters. But if i am trying to use languages such as chinese/korean - the ouput comes out in the form of small boxes and is not right .How do i resolve that ?

 

 

 

thanks,

Hi,

 

The above method is working fine with all the UTF-8 characters.

However please send us your code, so that we can debug it for the issue.

It works for me now.
