What does "const Fred* p" mean?

Const correctness, C++ FAQ Lite
It means p points to an object of class Fred, but p can't be used to change that Fred object (naturally p could also be NULL). For example, if class Fred has a const member function called inspect(), saying p->inspect() is OK. But if class Fred has a non-const member function called mutate(), saying p->mutate() is an error (the error is caught by the compiler; no run-time tests are done, which means const doesn't slow your program down).

Does "const Fred* p" mean that *p can't change?

Const correctness, C++ FAQ Lite
quot;const Fred* p" means that the Fred can't be changed via pointer p, but there might be other ways to get at the object without going through a const (such as an aliased non-const pointer such as a Fred*). For example, if you have two pointers "const Fred* p" and "Fred* q" that point to the same Fred object (aliasing), pointer q can be used to change the Fred object but pointer p cannot.

How do I produce special characters (Umlauts) with Grace?

Grace FAQ (for Grace-5.1.12)
If you asked this question, then you are probably familiar with the issue of keymap modifying in X. Once you configured the key mapping (with the use of xmodmap), you can enter the extended characters from the keyboard in any text input field. If, in addition, the appropriate for your language font encoding is anything but ISO Latin1 (used in most Western Europe countries), you'll have to tell Grace so. See the next question.

I get some stupid characters instead of umlauts or special characters. What did I do wrong?

db4free - Databases for free: get a free MySQL database acco...
This is because you or your ISP (if you run e.g. PHP scripts on your ISP's web space) are using an old MySQL API (application programming interface) which is not ready to deal with MySQL's new character set and collation management introduced in MySQL 4.1. If you have a chance to update the corresponding MySQL API (e.g. by installing the latest PHP version, installing the latest JDBC driver if you run Java programs etc.), you can solve this problem yourself by doing an update.

Did you use acutes, cedillas, umlauts and other symbols nonexistent in English?

OlimpBase :: FAQ
OlimpBase is entirely encoded in utf-8 (the Unicode standard). Every name written originally in Latin-based alphabet is (or at least should be - please excuse and correct possible misspellings) written "as it is". You should be able to see all the special symbols without problems. If you see hash, please consider installing "Arial Unicode MS" font in your system. PGN game files should not include accents though. Most of accents were simply omitted. Some of them became diphthongs.

Try using "telnet -8 yourhost" in your command.

Subject: 22. What are the German umlauts and genealogical symbols?

soc.genealogy.german Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
German vowel umlauts (the two dots over an a, o, or u) represent a different vowel sound than the un-umlauted letters. A umlaut is pronounced like a long a in English (weigh). O umlaut makes a sound where the lips are pursed as to make a long o (nose), but the tongue is forming a long a. U umlaut has the lips making a long o, but the tongue is forming a long e (cheese). Eszet is a regular English s sound. Any German should be able to understand the ae, oe, ue, and ss equivalents for the umlauts.

How can I include national characters like German umlauts in my build file?

Apache Ant - Frequently Asked Questions
You need to tell the XML parser which character encoding your build file uses, this is done inside the XML declaration. By default the parser assumes you are using the UTF-8 encoding instead of your platform's default. For most Western European countries you should set the encoding to ISO-8859-1. To do so, make the very first line of you build file read like <?xml version="1.
