Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement of converting the Japanese characters into UTF8 format.
We run adapters to get the data from source database to put the messages in a MQ.
I have two options to convert the data into UTF8 format.
1) run adapters on the database to put messages in UTF8 format.
2) run adapters on the database to put messages in SJIS format and convert to UTF8 in MB.
In either of the cases all the Japanese characters are getting converted to UTF8 format, except one Japanese character(Double Hyphen)
But if I run the adapters with SJIS format all the characters are converted properly.
I am assuming that one Japanese character(Double Hyphen) is not part of the UTF8 code page.
Can any one suggest me on this ?
Rgds,
Giri |

I can answer that for you. UTF8 is not a code page. It can represent *any* Unicode code point.
It would probably be a good idea to read this: http://icu-project.org/docs/papers/codepages_and_unicode.html
I strongly recommend that anyone who has a problem with code pages reads articles like this. Anybody who can post on this forum can also access articles like this one. |

If this double hyphen happens to be part of a comments section of an XML, i can see why it is complaining. XML forbids using double hyphen in comments section.
Even otherwise, a quick googling revealed the following from Wikipedia and I thought this might be relevant to you.

No, it doesn't. Re-read this:
... which starts out with:
| Quote: |
| The double hyphen (＝, ゠, or ⸗) is a punctuation mark that consists of two parallel hyphens. It is not to be confused with two consecutive hyphens (--), ... |
... and follows up with a more likely explanation, and common work-around:
| Quote: |
| However, a distinct double hyphen character is not supported in the main Japanese character encodings such like Shift-JIS for Windows and DOS, and EUC-JP for Unix and Unix-like systems even though a newer standard JIS X 0213 includes the double hyphen. In practice, the equal sign are more frequently used instead. And middle dot (・) is more popular for the same purpose in traditional Japanese printings. |
