We're trying to build a SoftKeyboard for an android app. The characters to be shown on the keyboard are asian language characters.
Any pointers will be helpful.

Yes. We played with the sample too. Right now, we're using icons for the keys. Was wondering if there's another way using unicode to do the same.

Ok, it might help if you made your question more specific to your actual problems. I.e., How do you show asian language unicode characters in a TextView?

A:
I have no experiance in Android, but much more in Java ME. In case of mobiles, and also in desktops, it is not possible for unicode charactor to render exactly as required as it is the font dependable. The font used for rendering the text must have the said charactor code in it, else a ? or dark rectangle will be displayed. Your best solution seems the image fonts (icons you are currently using).
