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.

Hi, Barry,

The uniconv utility which comes with Gaspar Sinai's unicode editor,
yudit (http://www.yudit.org) should work quite nicely.

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).

"native2ascii" in the JDK.  The following command produces exactly what
she wants:

native2ascii -encoding SJIS  shift_jis_file

Thanks, Naoto
