Hi all,

Another question for all of you:

I've got to internationalize my site, which means loading different language files. For characters that run the usual A-Z, 0-9 gamut, this is fine, but as I try to add Japanese characters through a language file, the characters are coming out as gibberrish.

Hello is being parsed as ã“ã‚“ã«ã¡ã¯, instead of こんにちは in my view. All my files are encoded as UTF-8. Any ideas anyone?

Greatly appreciated all.

hi you have to set your html file charset also UTF-8

Code:
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" &gt;

You can also add this to your .htaccess file if you have one!

Code:
// change the 5 to 4 if running PHP 4

<ifModule mod_php5.c>

    php_value default_charset utf-8

</ifModule>

I'll try the .htaccess route, but the charset is already defined in my <head>

Nevermind, I'm a total moron. I defined them in my head, but never actually loaded it. Thanks for the help!
