transcode not working with extended chars

I am running on a system with a japanese codepage, I load an xml file coded
in UTF-8 containing Japanese characters. When I get the data into a
DOMString and then try to map it into a char* using transcode(), the
extended (Japanese) characters are not translated.

What do I need to do to make this work?

RE: transcode not working with extended chars

Posted by Dean Roddey <dr...@charmedquark.com>.
Transcode uses the local code page. What is your local code page? If its
not something that can natively represent those chars, then you need to
create a transcoder for a specific target encoding, and transcode it
back to the correct encoding.
