Hi Jenni, First let me clarify that I am just a beginner on palm platform. While trying to learn as much as I can from this forum, I found your email regarding unicode handling issue. Based on my understanding from reading all past posts on unicode/multibyte/UTF-8 handling issues I guess you have to use UTF-8 standard for encoding your unicode characters. To display them on the screeen, convert from UTF-8 to the Palm's built-in encoding (check TxtConvertEncoding function). The palm device encoding only supports latin alphabets (ISO 8859-1), so you have to limit yourself in europian languages (most of them, not all I guess) unless you use your own app-defined fonts to draw characters. Once again, this is just my understanding, so don't take it as expert's opinion.... :)
I would appreciate anybody pointing out any misconcept in the above writing. --- M Nur ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Krugler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 6:25 PM Subject: Re: Displaying Unicode characters > >Where I can find information on how to display/handle unicode characters on > >Palm OS 5.0+.
