Which pinyin system the "rua" is in?
I use simpchinese win XP and if I switch to Full Spell (??)Simplified
Chinese IME and type "rua', then I got "挼" (read this email in UTF-8)
which is U+633C
I am not sure that is correct. At least, as a native Mardarin speaker,
that sound is not nature for me

They will be largely similar -- and identical for Chapters 1 through
5 -- but there are various reorganizations in the latter part

Nooo - Java's old "UTF" functions do not process UTF-8! They are there for String serialization, a
Java-internal format.
Use the Java Reader/Writer classes instead of these old ones!

Let's try this:
ICU has C header files with macros for code point handling in UTF-8/16 strings. See the utf8.h and
utf16.h headers (together with utf.h) in ICU's source tree at source/common/unicode/.

If you need a utility to do these conversions for you right away, take a
look at "uniconv" which is part of Gaspar Sinai's Yudit unicode editor.
This is an Open Source program, so you can look at the code too:

Yes. That depends on the implemention. If your character is kept in
memory as a 16 bits type, that's simply an short integer with the
hex value 0x4
