Thanks for the response Andy. I'm writing an application which requires a utf8 value. I think this value can be input in two ways:
1) <abc>[EMAIL PROTECTED]@^$#</abc> (here the element value is raw utf8) or 2) <abc>åž¾</abc> (here the element value is utf8 written using the hex notation. In the first example, the parser is modifying the utf-8 and returning to me a Java string containing utf-16. In the second example, the Java string I get is just the exact binary that I entered (because the parser makes no assumption about the binary data). So how can my application know whether it's looking at utf-8 or utf-16 because it can't really know how the parser handled the input? Any help is appreciated. thanks, -- John -----Original Message----- From: Andy Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 12:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Utf8 question "Colosi, John" wrote: > It looks like the Xerces parser is converting incoming UTF-8 to > UTF-16 automatically during the parse. Since Java uses UTF16 internally, wouldn't this be what it's supposed to do? Or maybe I'm not understanding what you mean.
