Character Encoding

                                         CONVERT CHARACTER ENCODING
Lots of times we encounter character problems such as why Chinese characters are square and Arabic characters are ?. To achive this problem i was using unicode converters and i showed the characters as their unicode codes. So how can we convert characters from Utf to Iso or to Unicode there are small functions below :

1 ) If you want to convert your utf-8 data to unicode this function may help you


private String convertConvertingToUnicode(String str) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
unicodeString unicode = new unicodeString();
String converted = unicude.convert(str);
return converted;

}


2 ) If you want to convert unicode to Utf this may help you

String convertConvertingToUnicode =<--//Your string that contains unicode code
String[] strs = convertConvertingToUnicode.split("\\\\");
String result = "";
for(int i = 0;i < strs.length;i++)
{
String send = strs[i];
if(strs[i].length()>0)
if(strs[i].charAt(0) == 'u'){
send = "\\"+strs[i];
}
result += convertToUtf(send);
}

//All the document now is in result as utf with meaningfull
}

private String convertToUtf(String string) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String str = string;
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("(?i)\\\\u([\\da-f]{4})").matcher(str);
String a = str;
if (m.find()) {
   a = String.valueOf((char) Integer.parseInt(m.group(1), 16));
}
if(str.length() > 6)
{
a += str.substring(6);
}
if(a.compareTo("")==0){
a = str;
}
return a;
}

3 ) And also you can change the encoding type

byte[] byts = string.getBytes("UTF-8");
String newstring= new String(byts,"Whatever you want for example  ISO-8859-9");

I needed a converter lots of time in development times so i prepared a program on android that may also help you for the character conversion you can try from your android device...

If you are getting unreadable words; if you try in eclipse ide you should look at the console encoding that is in runconfigurations or if you are developing ee in JSP-JF-SERVLET-STRUTS-SPRING... any web based technology, you should look first to the page encodings, then tomcat startup parameters...
