how to convert to IA5 char set??

[json]

does anyone know a way to convert chars to IA5 encoding? I think java doesnt
support IA5 encoding yet...

[Paul Clapham]

As far as I can see from what I have been able to track down in various
references, the IA5 encoding differs from the standard 7-bit ASCII encoding
in only a single position, namely the ASCII '$' symbol is replaced by a
generic currency symbol. Here's the references I found for the two
character sets: IA5
(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bi.../qb3aq501/F.58), ASCII
(http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bi.../qb3aq501/F.14).

If this agrees with your information, I'd suggest you just treat it as ASCII
until somebody complains.

The table in your code doesnt seem similar with the one i have. The IA5 charset
Im using is the one used by Nokia. Here's some examples:
(symbol = value in hex)
AT SIGN = 0000
POUND STERLING = 0001
DOLLAR SIGN = 0002
YEN SIGN = 0003

You can find the same table in this site:

It looks like IA5 is the same as 7bit ASCII for most of the printing characters
but most of the non-printing (i.e., control codes) codes (except CR and LF)
have been replaced by other glyphs/characters. So if you are starting with
7bit ASCII i think paul is basically correct, you can treat IA5 as if it
were just US_ASCII or iso-8859-1. If, however, you have arbitrary UNICODE
characters you will need to a UNICODE to IA5 conversion.
