(keitai-l) Re: regarding 816SH problem mobile market in japan..

hi all,
pls kindly refer my previos mail also which I have attached....

1. WE have mobile web site with UTF-8 encoding. Katakana & kanjis they both
occupies full width . The contents( Japanese texts) are generated from a
database that stores Kana and kanjis in UTF-8 format.

2. What we want to do now is:

Kanji - full width remains same
Katakana - change from full width to half width programmatically at server.

3. We have the following question :

Is that possible to convert full width katakana to half width Katakana
programmatically at the server side.

That means, program picks the full width katakana from the database,
converts it to half width katakana programmatically while kanji remains full
width. Then, the server program generates such pages for mobile.

Thank you very much for your support.

Regards,

"double-byte" versus "single-byte" depends on the encoding. A katakana
glyph that in Shift-JIS is one byte might be three bytes in UTF-8.

You're probably talking about half-width versus full-width katakana, right?

You'll have to explain what you mean by, "dynamically." It's certainly
possible for whatever software generates pages on your server to map one
to the other.
