Why do Japanese characters appear as boxes and hex values in Windows?

You need to add in Japanese language support for Windows, IE, and Office.

Japan, China, Taiwan, and Korea use double byte character encoding structures that permit use of their characters. yet another familiar is Unicode that helps maximum common languages. To examine J.I.S. or Unicode, you desire the right fonts. those you you will get from Microsoft in case you have WIN OS. (There additionally are particular classes available with greater bells and whistles.) later on, you will would desire to opt for the order of viewing below cyber web concepts ie. English, jap... then you certainly shoud have the means to translate to jap. do no longer anticipate translations to be too precise. I actual have stumbled on translation to be sensible provided which you have some awareness of the objective language. on the grounds that I talk satisfactory chinese language, translation into English from chinese language helps me fill in lacking words or supplies me a clue as quickly as I get caught.
