Is it possible to read various differnt languages from JTextField?

I am trying to read string from JTextField, as long as string is in english, Everything works fine. But if I change it to Korean or Japanese I am getting all some fuzzy characters in the string. Is there a way that I can read those string in the given language ?

For Example JTextField contains : 할로윈 빅 세일 마지막날입니다! And String read is : ??? ? ?? ???????!

Solution

  • Did you check that the font you use to debug the content of the String actually supports those characters? Most coding or UI fonts do not support more than European characters.

    You could try to encode the String as UTF-8 to actually check the bytes in the debugger using "getBytes" or by writing the String into an UTF-8 file.
