Internationalization - Japanese text

[satish pune]

Hello ,
I have some text stored in an oracle database - and it is supposed to be Japansese text

It appears in some strange format when I query the database

Using a servlet - I am generating html output and want to show this Japansese text

However all I get on the UI are - " ??? "

Can anyone please advise what I would need to do - in order to solve this problem ?

Regards,
-satish

you will use 2 method like this

public static String Unicode2ASCII ( String unicode ) { 
        StringBuffer ascii = new StringBuffer ( unicode ); 
        int code;
        for ( int i = 0; i < unicode.length (); i++ ) { 
            code = ( int ) unicode.charAt ( i ); 
            if ( ( 0xE01 <= code ) && ( code <= 0xE5B ) ) { �
                ascii.setCharAt ( i, ( char ) ( code - 0xD60 ) ); 
            }
        }
        return ascii.toString (); 
    }
public static String ASCII2Unicode ( String ascii ) {
        StringBuffer unicode = new StringBuffer ( ascii );
        int code;
        for ( int i = 0; i < ascii.length (); i++ ) {
            code = ( int ) ascii.charAt ( i );
            if ( ( 0xA1 <= code ) && ( code <= 0xFB ) ) {�
                unicode.setCharAt ( i, ( char ) ( code + 0xD60 ) ); 
            }
        }
        return unicode.toString (); 
    }

Hello Somkiat ,
Thanks for ur reply .

I tried testing the same and I still get the same output

In the database I see the japansese text in an unreadable format
The oracle database is set to NLS_CHARACTERSET = UTF8

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks ,

your oracle database MUST support Japanese language.

please check your DB...
