But my palm os is v.3.5.2
It does not support TxtConvertEncoding routine.
What other methods can convert encoding?

Actually Palm OS 4.0 has a TxtConvertEncoding routine, which supports 
conversion between Unicode and the device's character encoding 
(either direction). It can handle the UTF-8 and UCS-2 encodings for 
Unicode. A stripped down version of this same routine also exists in 
ROMs used by Sony's 3.5-based devices.
