Help... How to convert an hex string to unicodes....

Is this input straight hex numbers (i.e. '4', 'E' ,'D' ...), or does each represent a Unicode character (i.e '4ED6', '6211'...)?

I take it you need to write this as a Java Unicode escape sequence on the way out, right? (e.g. '\u4ED6').

If this is what you're looking to do, it should just be a matter of tacking the '\u...' on in the right places, and dumping the whole thing out as a string.

If it isn't, I suspect you're confused about how Java deals with Unicode. Basically, once any data is inside a Java program, it's Unicode. All characters are stored in UTF-8 encoding, one of the Unicode standards.

If you are reading in from or writing to a file that needs to be in a particular encoding, Unicode or not, have a look at the constructors for InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter that let you define an encoding.

Hope that helps!

Dear sinlanyeo,

I remember that I have answered your question before, isn't it ?

Please refer to http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/yores and download zip file. It contains a function called " public String transferHtmlToJava( String source )" which will convert the W3C representation of unicode to JAVA representation of unicode, e.g. "& # 3 0 0 4 5" -> "\u30045" .

You can modify it to achieve your requirement.
