Be aware..... Once CP932, always CP932...even in UTF-8. The UTF8 bytecode is a representation of the character in CP932. Don't expect that you can go from CP932 to UTF8 to EUC_JP. Ain't goin' to happen.
Check out a program called JCode. It might help you. I'm running into the problem where Linux/Unix is not totally CP932 capable. I represent everything as UTF-8...So, all's ok. But, I can't expect to convert UTF-8 to CP932 on Unix. That ain't going to work either. The PALM handheld is EUC_JP (I'm pretty posstive of that). When I enter japanse on the handheld, sometimes Windows has a problem because the character is not in the default CP932 character set (get's converted to ?'s). Sometimes this happens....I am working on this problem. May be implementing JCode in my conduits (I write in Java/Unicode conduits). I explicitely write specify the character set on each of my palms (Japanese, Chinese, Latin, Korean, etc.)...so, if you're using Java, then you're set... You can possibly convert JCode to C if you need to be in C and implement your own Unicode conversion routines for a C conduit. Good luck!
