Hello,
I try to write an application supporting different languages, languages as
japanese too. Now I wanted to write the data I want to save in unicode, but I
have no idea what kind of unicode is supported on the pocketpcs (via .NET CF)
and I don't know what kind of unicode i can print to the screen (via textbox,
drawstring, etc...).
Does somebody have experiences on this terrain?

Greetings,
Cyberdot
 
The Windows CE OS is built for Unicode, so strings are Unicode by
definition. When it comes to displaying Unicode characters, you may need a
font with the required glyphs for some languages since the default font on
the device wont necessarily contain all your required characters.

I don't know about display, but .NET CF supports the most important
encodings - Unicode and UTF-8 in your case.
