Ah for me, I usually don't copy and paste Asian characters until I have uploaded the file (then I'll just edit it), since it gets all messed when I save them in a Notepad file. It works fine for me, but if you find a more civilized way (LOL) tell me kay? :D

That's interesting that you mention that, because I've been having the exact same problem with some of my sites. Everyone else's Asian characters show up fine except for mine. I was wondering for a while if I was the only person with that issue. I'd love any kind of explanation for this as well. o_o;;

Yeah I know eh?! At first I thought it was just my sites and my computer, but then I thought, "How does my browser know that I'm looking at my own site, that doesn't make any sense!" Everybody else seems to be able to get it to work ;_;

Hmm, usually I put the encoding in the file's header.

But it won't work period if the person's computer doesn't have the language pack installed. <3 OSX for having it automatically. I *think* (i'm not too sure on this) but if you use a converter, it should make it come out as unicode, and you can just plop it in there, and I think it will work for most people. But it's not really useful doing it that way when you have files that you want to go back and edit, or rewrite in the language... cause you can't really determine what the characters are by numbers. So for my art site, I just leave it as the characters in the utf file. But on other sites where I know I won't be changing the text, I convert it to unicode.

meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"

unicode converter: http://www.pinyin.info/tools/converter/chars2uninumbers.html

edit: I looked at your site, and it won't show up for me either, until I change the character encoding to Utf-8. By default you have it as Western-iso. So use the meta thing I posted above. ^^ That should fix it!

Thanks so much Rin!! I didn't know that about the meta-thingy, it works now :D And the converter works great too! Thank you so much :)
