A fellow on the JSP-INTEREST list asked a question about displaying
Unicode characters to "System.out", which got me wondering if I could use
them in Servlets as well -- I'm not too strong on internationalization
yet.
As a "HelloWorld" for Unicode, I started with ISO-8859 documents and then
switched to UTF-8, which is cooler. I have ASCII, Latin-1, Greek, Hebrew,
and Japanese. Most of the characters won't display in a default Windows
install without installing individual language packs, which are very
simple to add.
To install and Unicode/ISO language pack in Windows 2000
Select "Internet Explorer -> View -> Encoding -> More -> [Language]"
It will prompt for the Windows 2000 disk.
Since I did this, I thought others might find it interesting.

Here is the compiled servlet:
-------------------------------
http://clio.uark.edu/servlet/espresso.mike.UnicodeServlet
Here is the source:
----------------------
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class UnicodeServlet extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws
ServletException, IOException
{
res.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head><meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"
content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\"></head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<table width=80% style='font: bold 14pt Times'>");
for(int i=0x0030; i<=0x00ff; i++)
{
if ( i % 16 == 0 ) out.println("<tr>");
out.print("<td>"); out.write(i);
}
for(int i=0x0370; i<=0x03ff; i++)
{
if ( i % 16 == 0 ) out.println("<tr>");
out.print("<td>"); out.write(i);
}
for(int i=0x3040; i<=0x30ff; i++)
{
if ( i % 16 == 0 ) out.println("<tr>");
out.print("<td>"); out.write(i);
}
for(int i=0x0590; i<=0x05ff; i++)
{
if ( i % 16 == 0 ) out.println("<tr>");
out.print("<td>"); out.write(i);
}
out.println("</table>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}
}
