String not displayed properly.

[gagan]

Hello,
I am facing a weird problem while displaying my String in JFrame while
prototyping Hindi character display
To explain this a little bit.
I am pushing unicode characters into a Varchar2 field in the Database
and then trying to retrieve it at run time.

From the database, using JDBC, I obtain a String like
"\u0916\u093e\u 0924\u093".
I pass this string to a Frame

class testText extends Frame
{
TextField t = null;
testText(String str)
{
try {
//System.out.prin tln(str);
t = new TextField();
t.setLocale(new Locale("hi","IN "));
t.setFont(new Font("Naidunia" ,Font.PLAIN,14) );
t.setText(str);
add(t);
this.setSize(40 0,400);
this.setVisible (true);
}catch(Exceptio n e){
e.printStackTra ce();
}
}
}

This code should print a Hindi text like
"खाता" in the TextField but what it prints is
""\u0916\u093e\ u0924\u093".
Although, a code like
class testText extends Frame
{
TextField t = null;
testText(String str)
{
try {
//System.out.prin tln(str);
t = new TextField();
t.setLocale(new Locale("hi","IN "));
t.setFont(new Font("Naidunia" ,Font.PLAIN,14) );
//t.setText(str);
t.settext("\u09 16\u093e\u0924\ u093");
add(t);
this.setSize(40 0,400);
this.setVisible (true);
}catch(Exceptio n e){
e.printStackTra ce();
}
}
}
prints "खाता".
Pretty strange as it doesnt seem logical.
Please help me out with this
Thanks,
Gagan
