Detailed description of native2ascii

The problem of displaying Chinese Characters in Java programs is a problem that everyone has encountered, especially the problem of Chinese Characters in Jad files. Generally, native2ascii is used for conversion. Here we have added a detailed description of the native2ascii tool:

Native2ascii-native-to-ASCII Converter
Converts a file with native-encoded characters (characters which are non-Latin 1 and non-Unicode) to one with Unicode-encoded characters.
Synopsis
Native2ascii [Options] [inputfile [outputfile]

Description
The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files which contain Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded (/udddd Notation) characters. native2ascii converts files which contain other
Character encodings into files containing Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded charaters.
If outputfile is omitted, standard output is used for output. If, in addition, inputfile is
Omitted, standard input is used for input.

Options
-Reverse
Perform the reverse operation: convert a file with Latin-1 and/or unicode encoded characters to one with native-encoded characters.

-Encoding encoding_name
Specify the encoding name which is used by the conversion procedure.
The default encoding is taken from system property file. encoding.
The encoding_name string must be a string taken from the first column of the table
Below.

However, wtk can directly solve the Chinese problem of Jad:
Settings> midlets> MidLet-1 properties change to the Chinese you want to display and then regenerate the Jad and jar files.

For example:
