UTF-8 Chinese characters

[hb...@aol.com]

Hi, I am trying to parse an SVG file encoded in UTF-8 containing Chinese characters, and am having some problems.
When traversing though the nodes, I perform the following on a text node that contains chinese characters:


XMLCh* ptr = (XMLCh*)dom_node->getNodeValue();

char* str_data = XMLString::transcode(dom_node->getNodeValue());

I was originally using xercesc 2.4, and the resulting str_data was NULL.
After upgrading to xercesc 2.8, I now get a char array of the correct length, however each character is a question mark ('?')
Is there something I am doing incorrectly?? I would appreciate any help

Hi,

	XMLString::transcode transcodes to your local code page. The characters 
may not be mapped there. Even if they are your editor or terminal you 
are using to see them probably wont understand them. This topic has been 
extensively covered on this mailing list many times. Take a look in the 
archives for in depth coverage.

Cheers,

Gareth
