I am using vc++ to make an IM client. My partner use smack to make another IM client. When I send some chinese words to him by socket, he get the “???”.
I think he wants to decode the packets as UTF-8 and not as unicode.
May I ask if “жйЧрёТРдАθΝны ;” is simplified chinese, it looks more like Cyrillic to me? With Spark I have no problems to transfer this text, maybe you also have not a transfer but a display problem. Does the font you did select support chinese?
Do you have these problems also with Spark?
Using Smack you could use “XMPPConnection.DEBUG_ENABLED = true;” to display the received packets.
