ElderKain · 03-04-2008, 12:46 PM

This always was a pain to me, becasue my name ElderKain is "より古いケイン" in Japanese
and for some odd reason when I work on my webpage, and I put it in on
notepad to have it on the page, it winds up like "???????"

I looked online and I noticed a Meta tag on websites *like here on Nihonomaru*
Has the availiability to be able to paste Japanese characters.

Step1: Open Notepad
Step2: Paste this in it

Code:

<html>
<title>Webpage Title Here</title>
<head>

</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Step3: In the <head> tags, paste this

Code:

<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1>

Note: this is the Key Coding to make Japanese characters visible.

it should then look like this[code]

Code:

<html>
<title>Webpage Title Here</title>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Step4: Paste your Japaese text in the <body> tags like this

Code:

<html>
<title>Webpage Title Here</title>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1>
</head>
<body>
より古いケイン
</body>
</html>

Note: the characters on notepad would look something like this "□□□□□□□"

Step5: In notepad go "File --> Save As"
Step6: For "File Name" put in index.html
Step7: For "Encodeing" select "Unicode" from the list
Step8: Save where u want to save it.

Then when u open ur HTML document in ur browser, you should see your
Japanese characters you pasted in.

Remember if you don't Do step7 Right, it won't work.

There is similar ways of doing itin other HTML Editors, i'm just using Notepad
as an example, because it's the most basic program used for Web-Programming.
