Hi All

how to read utf-8 char one by one ?

Below not work.

import java.nio.charset.Charset ;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.String;
public class read_utf_char {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File aFile = new File("utf8_test.text");
try {
String str = "";
char[] ch = new char[];
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(aFile), "UTF8"));
while ( in.read(ch) != -1 )
{
System.out.print(ch);
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}

Below not work.

As far as I know, it works if your utf-8 stream contains only BMP
characters (characters with code point 0xFFFF or below.)

But it is indeed incorrect in the general case where you can't assume
characters are all in the BMP. This is a known Java limitation.

In the general case, you just don't read unicode characters one by one
from a stream. Either you convert the stream to String first (and then
use a clever combination of String.codePointAt() and
Character.charCount(), read the JavaDoc.)
Either you read looking for your delimiters, but storing whatever is
*not* your delimiter, in a char buffer, untouched. You do not write it
directly. For instance, BufferedReader implements reading line by line.
I suppose other implementations enable to read using a different delimiter.

Because it doesn't compile.

What exactly doesn't work. Do you get a wrong output, do you
get an exception (you ignore in the source you provided). A
bit more information would really help to be able to answer
more than "something will be wrong in your code".

Thank. I get below Example. But I can not get the UTF-8 char code.

class CodePointAtstring
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Declaration of String
String a="\u00fc" + "\u34d7"+ "Welcome to Rose india";
//Displays the Actual String declared above
System.out.println("GIVEN STRING IS="+a);
// Returns the character (Unicode code point) at the specified
index.
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 0 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(0));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 1 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(1));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 2 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(2));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 3 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(3));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 6 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(6));
}
}

Output
java CodePointAtstring
GIVEN STRING IS=³?Welcome to Rose india
Unicode code point at position 0 IN THE STRING IS=252
Unicode code point at position 1 IN THE STRING IS=13527
Unicode code point at position 2 IN THE STRING IS=87
Unicode code point at position 3 IN THE STRING IS=101
Unicode code point at position 6 IN THE STRING IS=111

What do you mean by "UTF-8 char code"? Strictly speaking there is no
such thing. You might mean "Unicode code-point" or "sequence of octets
in UTF8-encoding"

class CodePointAtstring
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Declaration of String
String a="\u00fc" + "\u34d7"+ "Welcome to Rose india";
//Displays the Actual String declared above
System.out.println("GIVEN STRING IS="+a);
// Returns the character (Unicode code point) at the specified
index.
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 0 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(0));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 1 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(1));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 2 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(2));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 3 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(3));
System.out.println("Unicode code point at position 6 IN THE STRING
IS="+a.codePointAt(6));
}
}

Output
java CodePointAtstring
GIVEN STRING IS=³?Welcome to Rose india
Unicode code point at position 0 IN THE STRING IS=252
Unicode code point at position 1 IN THE STRING IS=13527
Unicode code point at position 2 IN THE STRING IS=87
Unicode code point at position 3 IN THE STRING IS=101
Unicode code point at position 6 IN THE STRING IS=111


That seems completely reasonable to me because 252 = 0x00fc and 13527 =
0x34d7.

Nothing in your program has anything to do with UTF-8 encoding.

Hi All
I want output the Character in the string one by one.
Now,codePointAt just print the Code points value.

Now,codePointAt just print the Code points value.

'codePointAt()' doesn't print anything. How are you actually printing it?

'codePointAt()' returns an int, not a character.
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#codePointAt(int)>

Most methods that output an int show the int value, not the equivalent
character. If you want to display an int as a character, you have to use a
method that will do that. I don't know offhand of a method in the standard
API that does that, but perusal of the Javadocs might reveal one, otherwise
you'll have to code one yourself or find a third-party library that already
has such.

such thing. You might mean "Unicode code-point" or "sequence of octets
in UTF8-encoding"

The point of an encoding is it hides the details of how 16-chars are
inserted into an 8-bit stream. All you are interested in the 16-bit
Java char value or perhaps the java codepoint value if you have 32-bit
chars embedded as well.

Hi All I want output the Character in the string one by one.

Why not use String's length() and CharAt() methods?

I assume you can disregard characters outside Unicode's Base
Multilingual Plane (BMP) - if not, I think you'll have to check for
surrogate pairs. Characters outside the BMP are too big for a char.

I am using Eclipse. To display UTF-8 encoded Unicode characters written

configure JCreator so that you can display Unicode characters?

You used Google Groups to post. It seems Google Groups uses
quoted-printable to encode non-ASCII characters.
E.g. =3D=E7=BE=B9?=EE=A2=ADelcome ...
I find it hard to fathom how that sequence of octets was derived.
AFAIK \u00fc\uc3c should encode to octets c3 bc e3 93 97.
Perhaps Google Groups is hampering communications - As you seem to be a
user of Mozilla Firebird, have you tried using Mozilla Thunderbird to
read this newsgroup directly from your ISPs NNTP service?

I suspect your remaining problems are due to the configuration of
JCreator or your operating system.

If you mean by "output" printing it out on the console,
you have to make sure that the console is actually capable
of printing unicode-characters.

The ? on the second position indicates that it isn't, so
there is no way to print it out that way. The way the first
character is given out the console most likey runs with
CP850 commonly used with DOS-boxes in Europe.
