# Japanese, Static HTML

 * 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….?
