Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Convert UTF-8 encoded hex value to a character Post 302252027 by sumirmehta on Tuesday 28th of October 2008 03:55:40 PM

Hi fpmurphy, thanks for the response.
can u pls elaborate on how and what locale do is set ? i am operating on solaris 5.8 OS.

also this is a part of the bigger problem. Actually i am transmitting the above character through a email message. so i extract this message from the mail server in unix, and decode it. What happens here is that the character is decoded as (Å´), which is actually 0xC5B4 annoted in ascii ( 0xC5 = Å, 0xB4 = ´).

So i want to take these (Å´) and convert to (Ŵ) directly or via their hex value (\xC5B4).
