Unicode convertion

Question

Hi all!!
I got the problem about Unicode.
My Application is using MS950 as the charset. The unicode of the chinese character "邨" that submitted from HTML form will be E473. Beside, my application support submitting a unicode file. The file also contain the chinese character "邨", but after insert into database, the unicode of the character "邨" is 90A8 instead of E473.
When using enquire from application that using MS950 charset, the character from FILE 90A8 displayed as "?".
am i have anything wrong? pls help!!
Thx alot!

Answer 1

Yes i know the character from HTML form is in private use area, but why?
I just using simple JSP but specify charset as MS950.
if that's the case, can i convert all those private use area to standard unicode on server side?
Thx again!!

As you can check from the [url
http://www.unicode.org/charts/]unicode standard,
the character U+E473 is in the "private use area"
section and clearly cannot be the character you want.
U+90A8 on the other hand is in "CJK Unified
Ideographs" -- this must be your character.
So now you have one problem more: you get the wrong
character from the HTML form :)
When using enquire from application that using MS950charset, the
character from FILE 90A8 displayed as "?".Displayed by what?
And is it only displayed as "?" or is it replaced by
"?" in the text? Try displaying the character's hex
code instead of the character itself:char c =
yourChar;
display(Integer.toHexString(c));
