Hello,

can anybody explain, it is possible top treat unicode character (arabic) same as latin character? such as,can we append char, sort char or etc for the arabic character?

please...hopefully someone can help me here..

thanks in advanced..

Yes. Java handles all Unicode characters and treats them all equally.

hmm... i had read about i18n for a brief ...

i am wondering, it is possible for me if i want to read a arabic input from the other file or hardcoded?

If there is thousand of arabic character (example a arabic speech file)?

How can i retrieve the character from the arabic document file?

or put the input through the keyboard to any jTextField such as we treat the latin character?

i try this code below

 
 
import java.io.*;
 

 
public class ReadUTF8{
 
 public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException{
 
 
   BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
   System.out.print("Enter File name : ");
   String str = in.readLine();
 

   File file = new File(str);
   if(!file.exists()){
 
    System.out.println("File does not exist");
 
    System.exit(0);
  
}
   
else
 
 {
   
 try{
 
     BufferedReader i = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
                             (new FileInputStream(file),"UTF8"));
       String str1 = i.readLine();
 
     System.out.println("File text : "+ str1);
       System.out.println("Reading Process Completly Successfully.");
 
    }
  
  
     catch(UnsupportedEncodingException ue){
 
      System.out.println("Not supported : ");
 
 }
 
    catch(IOException e){
 
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
 
      }
 
   }
 
}
 
 }
 

in try.txt i wrote the arabic text then, i save as type UTF-8 encoding..

the output is like this:

Enter File name : try.txt
File text : ??? ??? ???
Reading Process Completly Successfully.

Hmm..? am i need to do something such as local/properties class?

hopefully somebody can guide me...i an lost


thanks in advanced...

The console where you're printing this to most likely does not support Arabic characters (many Console don't support much beyond ISO-8859-1), so the fact that the characters don't print properly doesn't mean much.

You can use the String.charAt method to check whether the string contains the proper Arabic characters.
