Hi,

The output of the pl files to be displayed in my vc++ application. I used Embeded Perl for it. I have to support Japanese for the application.

The samp.pl file contains the following code 

       print "こんにちは ";             #print "Hello"

[download]

For converting string to Unicode, I used the following code 


       STRLEN Len;       
       bytes_to_utf8( (U8*)SvPV(ST(0), Len), &Len);

[download]

It is displaying "Sﾃ｣ﾂつ禿｣ﾂ・ｫﾃ｣ﾂ・｡ﾃ｣ﾂ・ｯﾃ｣ﾂ" instead of "こんにちは "

Please could u specify the procedure for converting string to Unicode or if possible could u provide the links for achieving this task. It would be appreciated if any suggestions are given.

Regards,
nag.
