Hi every body,
I am writing an embedded webserver which is
compiled on an ARM compiler. I have to support Unicode.
My doubt is that the compiler has to have the
Unicode library to support Unicode as a server.
Has any one out there compiled in ARM compiler with
Unicode support?
Please

Hi there:
I am trying to store some information in Chinese to an oracle db (8.1.6) who

You can store the information in UTF8, which is the format that Oracle uses
for Unicode. By setting this as the db charset any of the text datatypes
such as char and varchar2 will be stored using UTF. If you are using Java,
JDBC will do the conversion each way automatically.
Since UTF8 is a
