Great timing on this as I am currently struggling with some unicode text not displaying correctly in an application I am working on. Per your suggestion I put the Japanese text at the top of my template. All of a sudden the browsers started displaying that and other non-ascii characters correctly. The second I take away the Japanese text it goes back to just showing question marks. I am seeing this behavior in both the test server and Apache. I have looked at the Content-Type header and it is definitely serving it as utf-8, so I am at abit of a loss. There are no databases involved here, but I am displaying information from IMDB::Film. Is there anything in the actual HTML that needs to be set? Thanks for any thoughts on this. -- Lee Aylward
