Unable to read thai characters in Java application

Jyoti Lakshmi Ramchandr — Fri, 10 Jan 2003 03:34:29 GMT

I have a Java application that parses XML files containing thai characters. When I run this parser the thai characters lose its encoding and displays as ???? (question marks). Is there any patch or settings (encoding related) I require to do to set to view thai characters.

What is your java version?

Did you install the recommended and REQUIRED patches for java as noted on this web page?

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/infolibrary/patches.html

That is an excellent place to start.

There are patches on this list relating to character sets in several east asian languages.

Java version is 1.3.1.07. The patch list however doesn't cover charsets for Thai language. I have set the encoding to tis-620 and even set the default (Locale.setDefault) to thai language and also set the lang.properties to thai. Still the output is not ok.

The same parser works well in Windows platform. Is there any special setting required in HP-UX for enabling Java to parse thai docs.

Any further help?
