HELP NEEDED!: Unicode character sets on mobile
Greetings,
Im trying to display japanese katekana on my mobile using the unicode standard. But although the SDK emulator displays them, the applet on the phone does not. It only displays exclameted triangles. This suggests to me that they are unrecognised.
I cannort use the latest version of the internationalisation API because it is supposed to work on MIDP 2.0 phones.
Is there a way to include a unicode character set in the pagakaging, or something like that, or am I forced to use imported .png or .gif's for this application?
Thanks in advance,
Makashi

Thank you for your reply.
But...
I've already checked that page, and it is ;
1: eroneous, the example omits the \ in front of the unicode characters wich, without , will be treated as a text strings.
2: The mobile itself in my test case a sagem 401z only inludes character sets for the main european languages such as Dutch, German, French, English.
Therefore my question remains, how do I port the complete unicode to the phone?
Best regards,
Makashi

I just checked it. The article that the URL points to is actually just a copy of the original sun document, posted as it was his own. (is that plagiarism or just an open source mentality.)
He even ex/In-cluded the missing "\" before the unicode.
What wonders me is why he never actually checked if it works before posting it under his name and with his picture.
Still leaves me with the same question.
I'll look deeper into the forum next time.
Thanks for the effort never the less.

Thank you again,
It is not the working of the WTK. I got that up and running fine, with and without the I18N API.
Its that, if the phone itself does not support either I18N or The unicode ISO containing the Katekana, It cannot and therefore will not display them(correctly).
The test phone I'm using only supports MIDP 2.0 CLDC 1.1 so using the I18N API is not an option.
Is there a way to somehow include the entire Unicode set ISO 15924 in the package so that I can refer to it on the phone.
What I'm trying to say is that after building, the emulator does display the correct unicode symbols, after packaging and installing on the phone, the Unicode characters cannot be found (or rather does not display as katakana but as an triangle with exlamation mark. Suggesting to me that it is not recognized by the phone)
If I am in anyway missing the point, it is because I am relatively new to Java and I'm just trying to make the supplied Unicode examples work first. I wich case I would like to apologize for the possible incompehention on my part.
Regards
