We've used a tool from Sun's JDK called 'native2ascii', which on UNIX is
implemented as a shell script. I can't remember if the Windows version
is just a batch file or an actual executable.
The last time I used it (about 8 months ago), there were still some
bugs in its parsing of its "ASCII-fied Unicode" where character values
get expressed as '\uxxxx', where 'xxxx' is the Unicode code point in
hex. If it read a string such as
"We keep our files in D:\stuff\ugh\foo\bar."
it would blow up upon encountering the '\u' without the trailing hex
sequence. We had to run a pre-filter over any input files to up-case any
non-hex-indicating '\u' sequences.
Hopefully Sun either fixed this bug or dropped the tool from the later
JDKs.
