Well well, it looks like I got a lot of replies over the night... There were two places I've gotten the mojibake text: one was from an email (I was asking how to make a specific kanji i couldn't find), the second was from file names a japanese friend of mine gave me (mp3). As far as typing in

Oh, something important I just noticed about this discussion. It seems my email (or the listserv?) is further garbling some of the mojibake I send out. The last three examples should be... a-grave, i-acute, a-circ/hat, capital-delta infinity, T, infinity, U, infinity, G, unequal,

But I can tell Text Edit what encoding to assume and then save as UTF-8 or UTF-16, so there's a work-around. Unfortunately, that's not going to help the OP, near as I can tell. Do you recognize his deg.TMGDBdeg.$D9$BBdeg.$D9deg.$E9deg.$D9-$DA$F5? Editors I use a lot. Jedit, Java editor.
