Transcode Japanese??

[Robert M. Gary]

I'm on a Solaris 9 Japanese machine w/ an Ultra 5 Sparc CPU. I'm using
Xerces 2.6 DOM

I've got a document in UTF-8 format..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Name>ja_alert-\343\201\250\343\201\241\343\201\244\343\201\252\343\201\256\343\
201\253</Name>
(I'm not sure if the Japanese came out right here, but everything after
ja_alert- is UTF-8 for Japanese).

When I extract the text element I get an XMLCh* that claims to be 15 char's
long. However, when I get a char* from it, all the Japanese is truncated and
it comes out only 9 chars long.

char * value = XMLString::transcode( pNode->getNodeValue() );
cout<<"original length is "<<strlen( value )<<endl;
cout<<"Its a text named
"<<XMLString::transcode(pNode->getNodeName())
<<" value "
<<XMLString::transcode(pNode->getNodeValue())
<<" size is "<<XMLString::stringLen( pNode->getNodeValue())
<<endl;

I get back...

original length is 9
Its a text named #text value ja_alert- size is 15

(notice the Japanese is gone).
My locale looks like...
=> locale
LANG=ja
LC_CTYPE="ja"
LC_NUMERIC="ja"
LC_TIME="ja"
LC_COLLATE="ja"
LC_MONETARY="ja"
LC_MESSAGES="ja"
LC_ALL=


Do I need to something to tell the transcoder what encoding to transcode
to??

Opinion 1 :

If you "overwrite" load/save nomen klatur re: characters

you will render the contentType useless.

It will not render.

======

Opinion 2 :

If this tripple digit backward slash multiple Garbage
was supposed to be ANY UNICODE or JAPANESE,

then I live on the moon.
