Question

I tried using toUppercase() method to convert japanese characters to uppercase but it return same string with out conversion.

Is there any other way to do this using jquery or javascript.

fieldValue = "ショウコ";              //japanese string.

function convertToUppercase(fieldValue)
{      
 convertedValue = fieldValue.toUpperCase();
 return convertedValue;
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the help and guided me to right way

Finally I came up with this solution.

    function convertBigKana(kanaVal){
        var smallKana = Array('ァ','ィ','ゥ','ェ','ォ','ヵ','ヶ','ㇱ','ㇲ','ッ','ㇳ','ㇴ','ㇵ','ㇶ','ㇷ','ㇸ','ㇹ','ㇺ','ャ','ュ','ョ','ㇻ','ㇼ','ㇽ','ㇾ','ㇿ','ヮ');
        var bigKana   = Array('ア','イ','ウ','エ','オ','カ','ケ','シ','ス','ツ','ト','ヌ','ハ','ヒ','フ','ヘ','ホ','ム','ヤ','ユ','ヨ','ラ','リ','ル','レ','ロ','ワ');
        var ckanaVal = '';
        for (var i = 0; i < kanaVal.length; i++){
            //var index = smallKana.indexOf(kanaVal.charAt(i)); //indexOf and stri[i] don't work on ie
            var index = jQuery.inArray(kanaVal.charAt(i), smallKana);
            if (index !== -1) {
                ckanaVal+= bigKana[index];
            }
            else
            {
                ckanaVal+= kanaVal.charAt(i);
            }
        }
        return ckanaVal;
    }
