Hi
Need your help,
I am having a dimenssion say ABC in this ABC there are the data text which are in foreign languages(e.g. Japan, China and so on) and in English as well .
While uloading the data in QVW this texts are showing as a square box, not able to recognize them.
Could you please provide me any resolution on this how to show them in their repective language?
e.g. オートデスク it is showing as [] [] [] [] []
Note: English text should be show as in English.

As Gysbert points out, you need to load the data correctly, i.e. with the 'Utf8' or 'Unicode' switch. Then you also need to choose a font (in the list box) that is able to show unicode characters, e.g 'Arial Unicode MS'.

If you load from text files (.csv, .txt, ...etc) then you probably need to specify utf8 as character set.
TestTable:
LOAD *
FROM test.csv
(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq);
Other options if utf8 doesn't work are unicode and CodePage is N. You can find a list of code pages here.
