I have to develop an applet to run in every kind of language enviroment -- English, Chinese, Japanse and Korean, and evey kind of OS platform -- Windows 9x and NT, display all of this language character.

my applet receives these text in the UFT-8 or Unicode2 format, can it display UTF-8 character directly in every OS platform, or it shall convert them into the local encoding, and how to convert?

any help will be appreiciated!
