It is not a good idea to use 2 character sets. If you do all transmissions in UTF-8 and displays in SJIS, then it will be consistent. Note that SJIS is a DBCS character set and will display correctly on a JIS-enabled Linux. The xterms do Hiragana and Kanji. I don't know whether they do Katakana.

>>>> Is there a way to handle UTF-8 in this layer, without making much changes to IDL.
Yes UTF-8 is 8bit based, so you can pass it "as is" via the string - String - char* interfaces. Howver on each platform you need a printout which understands UTF-8.
>>>> Does Visibroker (v 7.0 SP2) provides any parameter which can be used at the time of IDL compilation to enable UTF-8
Don't think (but don't know for sure) that Visibroker cares for the strings you were passing.
