Unicode String Literals

[didster]

Hi all,

I am trying to convert an app we have to french. We have all the
strings translated, and I am trying to get things working.

The problem we are having is we have the strings in "real" format, such
as :

"Entrée d'agenda"

This, is put in code as:

public static final String Run_Diary = "Entrée d'agenda";

When running, the string is mangled and the é is replaced by A@. I
know you can do this:

public static final String Run_Diary = "Entr\u00E9e d'agenda";

And that works, but is there a way to specify the literal string
without escaping it?

Thanks

There is a tool as part of the JDK which does this for you:

Thanks very much!

I have been messing around with the encoding options in netbeans, which
are suppose to do it (so some people claim) and can't get that to work,
so I will try this

You must tell Javac which 8-bit encoding you used. See
