Thread: Trying to type in Japanese

????????????? ????????????????????????????????????

Can you see this stuff as kanji and kana?

Drat! It look all nice and Japanes to me when I was typing it (I was using IME).

But after I hit "Submit", it turned into a row of question marks.

Hmmm. This forum had no problem displaying Chinese. Did you have your web browser set to Japanese encoding when you submitted it?

Muahahahaha!!! It worked this time. When I was posting the original message, the eocoding was Japanese - Autodetect. Now I set it to Japanese - Shift-JIS.

Grrrr!!!
It seems to be working every other time.

Yes I did. The funny thing is, I can see Katakana in Roxfan's post above in almost any encoding. Don't have to turn on Japanese to see it.

What's even more funny, my encoding is set to Cyrillic (Windows). The thing is that IE sends characters not in current encoding as HTML Unicode entities. If you check the page source, you'll see that "テスト" is represented in decimal codes. I can only suggest you to try with another browser/OS. If it still doesn't work, you can convert Japanese to HTML entities manually using this.

日本語は面白いで、難しいです。漢字はとても難しいです。

Roxfan, thanks! Great tool, worked like a charm. I had no clue that there were html codes for kanji!

Works better ^_^.

BTW, here is a little "dictionary" of Japanese smileys.
I think they're much cooler than western ones.

I saw many of these smilies used by European and American teens. I guess they pick them from their Japanese friends while playing MMROPGs, which is a very popular pasttime in all parts of world.
