Mojibake Japanese input


gustafer

Recommended Posts

I am having trouble with using Japanese for logs. The Japanese input becomes unintelligible code, a phenomenon commonly known as mojibake.

 

In case others are also facing this problem, Japanese geocaching sites have provided a solution for this (HTML entity encode). Thanks for this handy tool!

 

I wonder, though, if the problem is caused by this site's character set configuration. I'm no expert in website administration, but when I have set up Wordpress and Drupal

sites for my own personal use, I have always had to change the database's setting to UTF-8 so as to enable both English and Japanese input.

Same as Korean input. As far as I know, all the Asian character has same problem.
