The note below came through the NELOCSIG list, but I'm assuming someone on this list may be able to give Laura some suggestions.
-----Original Message----- From: Nelson, Laura [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 1:04 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [nelocsig] Japanese wave character issue We have a situation where an important character, the Japanese "wave character", is lost during transfers from various parts of our software. The root cause is that Windows uses a different encoding than does the rest of the world. Data is entered into our database by one program which uses the more standard conversion to UTF8, and then read by another program using the Windows version. It displays as garbage, because the wave character gets lost in the conversion. There are other potential conversion issues with the same character, because it is non-standard. Does anyone have any suggestions? The encodings in question are: U+FF5E used by Windows U+30-1C used by JIS X 0221, Unicode Consortium, Java (SJIS, EUCJIS, and JIS), and Mac. The SHIFT-JIS character is 0x8160 Laura Nelson Technical Manager Internationalization e-Services Group Lucent Technologies +1.617.528.4454 Contact Suzanne Topping ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for more information or questions about the NELOCSIG.
