Yes there have been many tools released that will allow a conversion. Some of the better known ones are:

First, for "What is a Unicode Font" see the Font FAQ.) The font would need to contain a glyph for each allocated code point of the script. For example, Gujarati would contain glyphs for the allocated code points in the range: U+0A80 - U+0AFF.

Convert to/from Unicode to any legacy encoding using either String or the Reader/Writers. Use Strings for relatively short pieces of text and the Readers and Writers for longer files or streams of text. Please look at the API docs for String and OutputStreamWriter. This is a variant of bug 4346273 - see http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4346273.html.

The most popular Unicode Gurmukhi font at the moment is Raavi which is supplied with Microsoft Windows. Due to licensing restrictions, we are not allowed to redistribute the font file. In response to this, we have created our own freely distributable font called Saab.

A font that has glyphs mapped as above is a Unicode font. Although some tables for such fonts are common and a necessity (cmap, name, OS/2 etc.); others will depend on the type of glyph outlines (TrueType, PostScript...) [AJ]

Computers don't speak any languages, they only know numbers. In order for computers to work with human languages such as Chinese and English, special mappings between numbers and letters or characters are made into standards that various computers and programs understand. These agreed upon ways of using Chinese are called characters sets or code sets.

The Unicode font/keyboard package "Antioch" contains macros to convert most GreekKeys and other earlier Greek fonts to Unicode polytonic.

Wordlists can be converted from raw storage to unicode using: bogoutil -d wordlist.db > wordlist.raw.txt iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 < wordlist.raw.txt > wordlist.utf8.txt bogoutil -l wordlist.db.new < wordlist.utf8.txt Wordlists can be converted from unicode to raw storage using: bogoutil -d wordlist.db > wordlist.utf8.txt iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 < wordlist.utf8.txt > wordlist.raw.txt bogoutil -l wordlist.db.new < wordlist.raw.

Every computer has font files installed. However, not everyone has the same fonts installed on their computers. If we do not have the same exact font that the text was created in, the text will 'default' to a less attractive font. Converting fonts to outlines (lines and curves) ensures that the text is exactly how you want it to look. It is no longer necessary for anyone else to have the associated font installed.

Yes . Idem does the synchronization of files named with special Unicode characters like Chinese and Korean names, - supports Double Byte Character Sets i.e. Japanese.

Yes you can. (Windows 2000/XP only) A caveat: You may need to set the font in the Say/Show Message action to the correct one to see the kanji. Also, when pasting, make sure the application has the correct font setup and can support unicode text.

The Converting Non-Unicode Text section of the The Java Tutorial explains how to perform the conversions within an application using APIs in the java.lang and java.io packages. The java.nio.charset.Charset class, available since J2SE 1.4, provides more direct access to character conversion. Numerous other Java interfaces, from the java.net package to the JSP compiler, rely on these low-level interfaces to provide character conversion as necessary for their respective functionality.

Yes: see "Program options" -> "Tags" -> "Write Unicode data into ID3v2 tags" option. To convert existent tags to Unicode or to plain text you need to select this files in Tag&Rename file list and press "Save Tags" button in "Multi files tag editor" tab with all it check boxes unchecked - this will re save tags without changing its data according to "Write Unicode data into ID3v2 tags" option settings.

Unicode is a type of text encoding that allows for the display of most of the world's written languages. Since most written forms are included in Unicode, it makes it easy to display several languages on one web page or within one text document. For more detailed information about Unicode, including what characters are encoded, please visit http://www.unicode.org.

Yes it's sometimes possible however it has not yet proved to be easy. Common problems encountered include: Holding your temper whilst meeting with management committees to propose your plans and listening to their concerns about possible rerouting of flues etc. coming from other apartments. Access concerns regarding delivery of materials and removal of waste.

Where can I download a free C++ compiler? Updated! [Recently added the compilers.net site thanks to Dejan Milicic plus added Microsoft's command-line compiler (in 3/06). Click here to go to the next FAQ in the "chain" of recent changes.]

The Punjabi Computing Resource Centre provides software to enable you to migrate font-based Gurmukhi to Unicode. The program in question - the Gurmukhi Unicode Conversion Application - is free and available to download right now! We also have resources that help you make Unicode compatible web sites.
