Are you talking about normalizing? There an API for normalizing in Suns' web site. Check on the Suns' tutorial.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
It is not related to normalization.It is related to unicode characters using
some conversion method.

Some confusion in your terms. Numerical values do not have widths.
Printed characters have width. Use of fonts can change the width of printed output.
Are you refering to the number of bytes to hold data for example in a file?
Unicode takes two bytes for a character. ASCII takes 1 byte.

Are you talking about character width of UNICODE and ASCII? Norm give the answer on his last post. Better to explain it more. What conversion are you looking to do using UNICODE characters?
