Re: get unicode values from string

Hi,

I don't know much about Java; but I can answer your query for C. It
may be helpful to you.

What is the character encoding of the file? I believe it is UTF-8,
that is, the characters are stored in multi-byte format. C provides
lots of functions like mblen, mbtowc, mbstowcs etc to convert the
UTF-8 to wide charcater.  All these functions are defined in stdlib.h

But these functions are LOCALE sensitive. You should have proper
LOCALE file for Hindi in /usr/share/locale or /usr/lib/locale. These
stdlib functions are dependent on LC_CTYPE of LOCALE.
