From Unicode standard:

Below code only supports three byte CJKs hex dumps
character string:
public class UTF8toUC16{
public static void main(String[] args){
String utf8 = "e799be";
String bin, binrep, uchex;
String[] bins, uc;
if (args.length > 0){
utf8 = args[0];
if (utf8.charAt(0) != 'e' || utf8.length() !=
6){
System.err.println("This program accepts utf8
hex-string for CJK");
System.exit(1);
bin =
Integer.toBinaryString(Integer.parseInt(utf8, 16));
binrep = "";
for (int i = 0; i < bin.length(); ++i){
binrep += (bin.charAt(i));
if ((i + 1) % 4 == 0 && (i != bin.length() - 1)){
binrep += ' ';
System.out.println(binrep);
bins = binrep.split("\\s");
uc = new String[4];
uc[0] = bins[1];
uc[1] = bins[2].substring(2) + bins[3].substring(0,
2);
uc[2] = bins[3].substring(2) +
bins[4].substring(2);
uc[3] = bins[5];
uchex = "";
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i){
System.out.print(uc[i] +" ");
uchex += Integer.toHexString(Integer.parseInt(uc,
2));
System.out.println();
System.out.println(uchex);
System.out.println((char)(Integer.parseInt(uchex,
16)));
thanks! its solved my problem.. thanks :-)
