Store and display Japanese characters

Question

User40338685 posted

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the best way of storing Japanese characters through ASP.NET.
I have to put characters into a asp:textbox on one page, which saves it to an Access DB.
On a second page I want to display the content in a asp:label.

Should I store the characters directly to the database or should they be encoded, and
how do I encode the characters? 

In my web.config i have:

<globalization fileEncoding="ISO-2022-JP" requestEncoding="ISO-2022-JP" responseEncoding="ISO-2022-JP" culture="ja-JP" uiCulture="ja-JP" />  
 

On the display page I have:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;CHARSET=shift_jis">

In web.config: <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="ja-JP" uiCulture="ja-JP" />

If you are using sql server as a database then ensure that your coloumn should be nVarchar or nText.

I hope it will helpful to you.
