[JDEV] Japanese Jabber Client

[Eric Bowersox]

All Jabber messages are XML, which uses the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode
(actually UCS-4, aka ISO-10646).  You can theoretically send messages using
Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Hindi, Ogham, Tengwar, Klingon, or any
other set of characters supported in 10646.  How they get interpreted is up
to the client, which must generally convert them to some native code
page/character set before displaying them, and must also convert the user's
keyboard input from the native character set to UTF-8 before transmitting.
