Re：Japanese text not displaying correctly.

I think the first respondant, Mr. Imbeault, is right:  The characters were garbled in my
email too.

I took the HTML portion of your code and opened it in my browser: the text was garbled.  

I checked my browser's encoding and it was still set to Shift-JIS(I'm in Japan): 
it didn't switch to UTF-8 in accordance with your meta tag.  But when I manually switched the
browser, the text displayed almost perfectly: the characters were a bit messed up(I'm getting: 
[  ] which converts to [  ] in Shift-JIS instead of [  ] like is should be).

In any case, it was only after re-saving the file manually with UTF-8 encoding(the 'Dana Text 
Editor' makes this easy, http://www.rimarts.co.jp/dana.htm), that my browser was made to switch
to UTF-8 upon opening the file, see: http://saba.mitsue.co.jp/~m-grant/UTF8.html. Does the last 
line display correctly for you?

Also, what editor did you use to edit/save these files? If this is a
persistent problem, then maybe there's an option that's not set(either
in your PHP.ini or your editor) or something of the sort.  Otherwise you
may want to re-evaluate your workflow and see if there's something you're
missing.

Finally, I noticed that you're posting through the Boeing proxy server (St.Louis?),
I used to work for Boeing at the "CSRC" in Bellevue, WA, GREAT people!
