It's just encoding for special characters. Don't worry about it.

It is up to the user to select MS Arial Unicode as a font for an example or just assign a specific language for decoding the encoded text.
The string that was snipped had no meaning of course even though I could read some unrelated kanji when Japanese was selected. I could have selected Chinese or any other language that utilises the 16 bit character codes but it would still have no meaning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Are you saying that it was totally incomprehensible, or are we talking about a technical glitch here ? :\

Over here it looks like this... and I hope that makes sense as summer holiday is almost over. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Oh no!
The forum.gif image referenced by the URL displayed Hiragana that I could read as someone doing his evening studies and saying that he knows a bit of Japanese.

This did not happen on the Forum display over here by language auto selection or anything related to Japanese.
OTOH, I checked it once more and you did say that you encoded it by UTF8 unicode
Yes, it did display properly when I selected UTF8 Unicode.
Anything else was definitely a misery. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Good work rat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Uhm... well, this is strange. Japanese Auto-detect doesn't work like in the old forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
Normally Japanese pages are encoded in Shift-JIS, if I'm not mistaken, and that's what I just used. You have to specifically set the character coding to it when you make a post.

Anyway, can't think of something to write just now. DAD, don't you want to start an easy conversation so us students can learn from it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Meow...

Hi Arhu, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

I was under the same wrong impression and I did not pay attention to what rat wrote.
Auto-detection demands encoding the text in a language specific code to enable auto-decoding.
Rat said that he intentionally encoded his text by UTF8 Unicode which is a character set that contains all the characters of all living languages. It is a 16 bit character set (65,535 characters) and using it requires no specific language declaration but it consumes space of course because each character is double long. Language declaration in headers allow using 8 bit codes or 16 bit codes selectively to save bandwidth.

Finally starting an easy conversation in [sic] Japanish is not a problem. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
The problem is that I might be able to pass many nocando words without being detected. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />
