Forwarded question....
Hi Unicoders... I received this question and I didn't have a good answer ...perhaps someone else here can help? I have a Japanese text file in Shift JIS and I need to convert it to escaped Unicode. Does anyone know of any tools or utilities that can do this? The standard character encoding sets available in text editing tools like Hidemaru don't appear to do this. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you. By escaped Unicode, she means \u format. Barry Caplan http://www.i18n.com

It is dedicated to the development, maintenance and promotion of The Unicode Standard, a worldwide character encoding. The Unicode Standard encodes the characters of the world's principal scripts and languages, and is code-for-code identical to the international standard ISO/IEC 10646. In addition to cooperating with ISO on the future development of ISO/IEC 10646, the Consortium is responsible for providing character properties and algorithms for use in implementations. Today the membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes major computer corporations, software producers, database vendors, research institutions, international agencies and various user groups.

Hi, Barry, The uniconv utility which comes with Gaspar Sinai's unicode editor, yudit (http://www.yudit.org) should work quite nicely. On Thu, 29 Aug 2002, Barry Caplan wrote: Hi Unicoders...

This type of conversion can also be done with UniPad (http://www.unipad.org). Import file as Shift-JIS, Save As ASCII + UCN, or Copy As ASCII + UCN via clipboard. UCN means Universal Character Name (i.e. \u sequences). --Torsten

"native2ascii" in the JDK. The following command produces exactly what she wants: native2ascii -encoding SJIS shift_jis_file Thanks, Naoto Barry Caplan wrote: Hi Unicoders...

[OT] looking for electronic dictionaries
For my personal use, I would like to acquire electronic dictionaries, principally for the major European languages, with the following characteristics: - reputable source - raw datafiles accessible - I appreciate the interfaces that dictionary vendors may provide, but I want to be able to write my own code to find the data I am looking for - the wordlist is the principal aspect; I can live without definitions. - markup about the structure of words, for things like hyphenation, etc. (or from which hyphenation can be derived) - some form of frequency count would be nice For example, I'd like to compute something like: the average French character occupies x bytes in UTF-8, with average defined in sync with the frequency count. And I'd like to compute things like spelling changes introduced by hyphenation in Dutch. Any pointers? Thanks, Eric.
