\uXXXX && &#xxxx

Hi All

i am running a java web app and have java resource bundles that contain
Japanese /Chinese native characters.

-i need to covert the strings to 2 Unicode formats ,

on like this \ua9e0 for each character

on like this &#a9e0 for each character

What modules / methods can i use to do this ? Any ideas?

i can read in the whole string per line and convert the characters if there
is such a fuction/module
