Hello,

I am trying to get non English characters (ex. hebrew, arabic, chinese,
japanese, etc.) on the application. Using the Unicode, it works
perfectly fine within the module. However, once I make the jar file and
take it to my phone, it shows up as boxes.

I had been reading and researching on how to get around this but only
solution I saw was that I had to put my text as "images" and then
develop it that way. I saw examples of people mentioning that I had to
use bin files.

Has anybody done something like this? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Shahid

You are using resourceBundles? These have to be encoded in a peculiar
way. see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/resourcebundle.html

He's using the MIDP. ResourceBundle is *not* a part of the MIDP.

I had downloaded some programs which had differnent languages and when
it worked on the phone. I noticed when I de-compiled it that they are
using bin files. I have tried to look for something like that but can't
seem to find.

Any ideas?

What do you mean by "bin files"?

That means the handset in question doesn't support that locale.
