Symbian/J2ME/Series60 (mobile phones)

ATTENTION: KOI8-R encoding is not native for Symbian/J2ME. The right solution should be conversion between KOI8-R and Unicode for all operations with KOI8-R encoded data.

I don't have much material, please contribute to this section.

FYI Symbian OS Series60 v3 already have embedded koi8r.snm in the \resourse\Charconv to handle all Unicode<->KOI8-R conversions needed by a device.

Charset Converters:

ReadM eBook reader , freeware (for older Series60 adds missing KOI8-R->Unicode conversion table to the system via Russian language support package, making internal mailer, Opera and few other programs works with KOI8-R automatically for older S60s) -->
• KOI8-R converter for Series60 1.0.0 , freeware (for older Series60 adds missing KOI8-R->Unicode conversion table to the system, making internal mailer, Opera and few other programs works with KOI8-R automatically for older Series60)
  NOTE: it adds conversion to some unwanted places too, f.e. *.txt file recieved from PC by Bluetooth will be treated as it was in KOI8-R.
