Hello There,

Actually I am getting a Chinese name from the server. our service converts my output to Big5 encoding and sends to application and we need to display the Chinese characters in the UI. We have a server which has Chinese OS and when we see my application log file, it is showing Chinese language but in UI it is showing ASCII equivalent of those Big5 Hex values. The same log file when we copy to my local machine, the same values are displaying which is displayed UI screen in Chinese OS machine. Below characters are displayed in UI:

-Ó¤H³ü¡@¡@¡

These same characters are written in log as Chinese characters:

You must convert the string from the character set used by the server to those used by your application. So check:
- Which encoding is used by the server (e.g. UTF-8)
- If the conversion to Big5 by your service can be ommitted
- Which character set is used by your UI (e.g. Microsoft Unicode / UTF-16 with Windows or UTF-8 with Unix)

Once you know the above, you can convert the string.

You need to check in your UI code that you are selecting the Chinese font correctly.
