Hi Grzegorz,
I found I had the same problem and realised they could be images
instead of actual characters so I started to view the source of the
charts until I found one Hiragana unicode chart, which was using actual
fonts in the source code. I copied the character from the actual code
and it seemed to work.
I checked against its hexadecimal value to ensure that it was correct.
This is the code in my XML document (by the way, romaji is romanised
Japanese):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dictionary>
<word>
<noun>
<english>book</english>
<romaji>hon</romaji>
<hiraganaSym>??????</hiraganaSym>
<hiraganaNum>ほん</hiraganaNum>
</noun>
...
And this was the output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <dictionary>
<word>
<noun>
<english>book</english> <romaji>hon</romaji>
<hiraganaSym>??????</hiraganaSym>
<hiraganaNum>??????</hiraganaNum> </noun>
...
So I am thinking I will take the fonts from the source code of the
Hiragana unicode chart, since its easier.
Thanks again for your help, really appreciate it!
Angela
