Hello I am attempting to utilise the unicode values from the CJK Unified Ideographs to undertake searches for the occurance of the corresponding characters on a hard disk drive.
When I look at a chinese character with a hex editor I get a certain order for the hex or unicode value for the character. For example, the english word 'abalone' in chinese has a code of '8D9C 7C9C' when viewed in a hex editor, but when I referred to the CJK unicode table, the value came out as '9C8D 9C7C'. Can you explain the different ordering of the code? When I conducted a test search of the contents of a hard drive known to contain the chinese characters for 'abalone' I only found hits on the hex values not onth e CJK unicode values. Any assistance woudl be appreciated. Regards Mike Smith
