I agree, set the encoding of your browser to UTF-8, in google View:
Original Thread. However install UTF-8 font sets and NOT language
packs such as Chinese Big5(Traditional) or GB2312(Simplified). On
Windows the humongous Asian UTF8 fontset for Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean is called BATANG. It was on the install disk but I found WHAT
to install by combing the MS Usenet threads for languages. Try the
encoding and google view first. By default you should see Cyrillic
and Arabic characters as part of the default install for IE on Windows
so Mac may vary. On Windows there is a CHARSET utility to
specifically identify what is installed. You won't get any prompts
using IE, GOOGLE, and UTF-8. You have to prepare for it or nothing
but boxes and ?. All profs to Kuri because I knew everyone wants to
see these characters.
