Unicode (character set for UTF-8) may not include *all* Japanese characters, Unicode 3.2 contains all charecters defined in JIS X 0201, JIS X 0208, JIS X 0212 and JIS X 0213. In other words, UTF-8 supports any characters that are supported in Shift_JIS, EUC-JP and ISO-2022-JP. > I was doing some research on it myself and found that > although I was able to display an HTML page containing Japanese > characters after setting the charset to shift-jis, the same does not seem to be > working for UTF-8. Most browser is capable to display Japanse in UTF-8. Tell us what browser in which version you use to display what document and you'll get better help. One possibility of not displaying UTF-8 Japanese I can think of is that your browser is Netscape 4.x for Windows and font setting for Unicode (or UTF-8, I don't remember exactly) is not set to Unicode or Japanse font. > I am also facing similar kind of problem in Java.
