Hi Mark,
You're right, but I believe what Erik is saying is that you can get
Japanese-looking characters to be *preferred* over Chinese-looking
characters (where fonts drawn in both styles are available) by using a
LANG attribute for a specific page or SPAN. This could increase the
acceptance of using UTF-8 as a page encoding in Asia....
Best Regards,
Addison
