Japanese Text

[waynemac]

Gidday, Im wanting to have Japanese text on my site (info and posts etc) but when I did a test all I go were ???????s. I run OSX with Japanese fonts installed (JIS,EUC,ISO).

 

Wondering what to do next.

 

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Wayne,

 

Try adding a line to the head of your html/php file specifying the character set or encoding you are using for your Japanese text.

Like:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=shift_jis">

or...

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-16le" />

 

I've been using unicode, but am also working on an i-mode site that has to be in shift_JIS. Let me know if I can help with anything.

 

I'm in Nagano by the way. Where are you?
