The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Hi David,
I'm finishing up on a project that has a production system half on the
AS/400 and half on SQL Server, so I don't have time to be definitive. But
offhand, assuming you have no other clues, if you can get it to Unicode, the
Japanese sets and hex/Unicode ranges are:
Hiragana 3040 - 309F
Katakana 30A0 - 30FF
Katakana Phonetic Ext. 31F0 - 31FF
Halfwidth Katakana FF00 - FFEF

It would be slow, but you could check if you hit a character in those
ranges. You'd need to validate what the JDBC driver does when converting
from presumably EBCDIC to Unicode to be sure your comparisons are valid.
BTW, Everybody knows that UTF-8 is now supported, so there's no space
penalty anymore for using Unicode from the get go, right?. Unfortunately,
there are other issues if non-Unicode tables are used in the same project.
HTH, and please let us know the result.

Subject: Detect katakana characters in java?
OK, this is not specifically i related, but I'm encountering this trying
to talk to the i.
How do you check a String to see if it contains Japanese characters
(double or single byte)?
Thanks!
