Kid,

As mentioned it is a two-byte problem. What anybody without a Japanese character set installed will see is “Bakemoji” The result is a string of unrelated characters and punctuation which is how the single-byte system used for English interprets the characters in Kanji. You can set your default encoding in your browser to Western and the fonts to Times and Courier to avoid the extra charaters or misinterpretations of quotes on your system. If you do this however you will be defeating the purpose of using the Japanese system, i.e. to be able to communicate with all of your friends and colleagues (due to being able to use both Japanese and English characters in the Japanese system). You could in theory set up a macro to switch back and forth each time, but it would be a pain. You may be able to find shareware solutions for this too.
