Okay, how do you do it?

I don't mean how to type it in on the computer. I do that everyday. I do it on my own webpage, and it comes through fine.

However, on Kendo World and similar forum websites, I can enter it just fine in the post editing window, but when I preview or post the message, it just comes out as a bunch of question marks.

I've looked but can't find any relevant option in my user profile. Is it something to do with my browser settings? I'm using Safari. I can get text to come through if I set my text encoding to Shift JIS, but then everyone else's Japanese text is screwed up, so that's clearly not what the rest of you are doing.

I use Shift JIS at home because my OS is English but here at work im on a Japanese OS pc so have no problems. What about testing it out (in this thread) by posting from a different browser?

I used to have problems using my webmail with Japanese but since changing the character set to ISO 2-022-JP (JIS) ive had zero problems, even emailing mobiles..... I suspect its here that you are having problems.

So here's a test.

Shift JIS

I'd have sworn I'd tried that before.

Thanks.

書けたぞ！

aaaaaaaa, but I can see it on my works IE here if I change the encoding type to Japanese...... maybe its your browser thats not reading it.... cos you are sending it correctly.

[nanyaHgoc]

No, it worked for me too.

My comment was that I didn't think I was being that stupid. On previous attempts, I must have done something differently.

i need to change my encoding to view your 日本語.... not sure why (mine is detected automatically). anyway, its not a disaster. enjoy!

[itepearce]

Strange, but yes there seem to be a difference in how the characters are converted. Look at the source code from this page and you will see that the japanese Kenshi wrote has been converted to special characters like "#784687;" (which I assume are unicode numbers?) while Kents have not.

Can't be of any help though, since I am not a Windows user. But it clearly shows why it isa good idea to run a unicode enabled operating system

Another test, this time ISO 2022-JP

Odd problem you're having. Have you tried using IE or Firefox?

Odd problem you're having. Have you tried using IE or Firefox?

Using a Mac, I've not tried IE. And downloading a whole new browser just because of this seems like it should be unnecessary. I can read it all just fine, it's getting it to come through that's the problem.

[ulw7A8Po]

yeah... youve got some strange problem. My pc at home picks up mine and Zeals no problem.... but not yours. If I set the encoding I pick up all but your last post.

Try setting the message entry box to the correct character code instead.

Right now you are changing the entire page to Shift JIS. I can read yours if I change mine to Shift JIS too. What you wrote:-
日本語で書けるか。
出来る為に

And the one with ISO-2022 JP
これは？

I have the same problem on my Chinese blog, and that how I dealt with it.

Try setting the message entry box to the correct character code instead.

How do you go about that?

I can't find any separate control for the entry box.

[Hamucevasiop]

I installed Firefox, so I'm giving it another go.

日本語で書いてる。

Let's see if that works.

ETA: Seems to. I don't know what Safari's problem is.

[JMLot]

今日は金曜日

I'm giving Safari a try on Mac.

[astonmartinrx371]

Can see the lot now.

Firefox is a pretty good browser. Have you tried the rikai-chan plugin?
