Japanese Chars

Hosting
1

Wel I have a site I’m writing that needs to be display in Japanese Chars…

Here it the thing… im hosting on my own machine for develpment.

Environment:

Windows Vista/IIS/Coldfusion 8

now I have some japanese chars loaded in my MySQL database as categories… when they are queried by Coldfusion, it displays fine… but when I accually type the japanese I want to display in my files… I get crazy characters (ã�¨ãƒ¼ã�¾ã�™).

How can I get my page to display Japanese chars…

Also:

<meta http-equiv=“content-type” content=“text/html; charset=utf-8”>

anybody know what I need to do?

The meta tag is not much use, as it is the server that determines the encoding. Can you check what encoding the server is using? (Usually the browser will tell you, if you have trouble accessing the server itself.)
