[JDEV] Chinese/Japanese char support in jabber

[Peter Millard]

Amar -

All streams to and from a jabber server should be UTF-8. So yes, you need to
encode everything coming from your client and send that in UTF-8 form.
Corrrespondingly, you should decode everything you get from the server FROM
UTF-8 to make sure unicode characters are decoded (and eventually displayed)
properly.
