Yes. But if you are doing it on a Just in Time basis for each handset,
it will be a hit on the server.
Can you cache? Or do it once, and save it to a separate field in the DB?
What are you using? If it is PHP - make sure that the PHP has
multibyte extensions compiled in. I think they are part of the
standard install in later versions of PHP....
