hi,

The application stores data in mysql as unicode.
When I want retrieve data from mysql in unicode ,it gives some other format .

e.g. The data in the mysql is in Hindi format . when I want to retrieve data from mysql it gives some other format.

Regards,

Have you tried reading the data as a stream? It sounds like you are trying to read raw data as a string which is getting converted to locale-specific information.
