   Hi everyone. I'm having some serious problems with Japanese text. I'm not the only one, but I can't seem to find any entries addressing this particular problem.

   I'm using WordPress 3.1. Japanese text for posts, menus and other WordPress-generated content is just fine.

   The problem is when I slip in static HTML ANYWHERE outside of the blog.

   For example, on the home page I wrote some HTML containing descriptions of the site contents in Japanese. This is coming up as garbage.

   Also, any "Template" pages written in static HTML (in Japanese) is totally broken.

   Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer this.

   What do you mean "outside of the blog"? Do you mean you're editing the template files?

   That's right. Any HTML placed onto the pages manually (not through the admin system) gets slaughtered.

   However, I found a solution.

   My design has the blog isolated into a news section on the home page, together with other static elements. By placing the static code into a secondary sidebar text block, I could float things around as I wished, and the Japanese text gets processed properly.

   For the other non-blog pages, I can just toss the code (which will be done statically before going to WordPress) into the content entry field of each page in the pages section.

   It's my first attempt at making a custom theme and so I'm still getting used to how to do things the proper way with WordPress.

   I would speculate that however you're editing your theme's template files is saving the php files in a manner not compatible with your ... er ... characters. I'm blanking on the term.

   HOW are you editing them? Manually via a text editor or....?
