With regards to Japanese encoding, Japanese is one of the most

complex language; देवनागरी (Devanagari), an alphasyllabary script;
ქართული ენა (Georgian), or other alphabets with accents and
diacritics can also be difficult. It is remarkable that we can
depict them all in a single encoding system. It is not surprising
that such a challenge is demanding - however, the reward is more
than commensurate with the degree of difficulty.

Here's a mystery (to me). You sent this in UTF-8, I have my
newsreader set to UTF-8, yet I see ?????? instead of proper
squiggles.

Do you have the appropriate fonts installed (and, if necessary,
correctly associated)? Not all Unicode fonts are created equal, and not
all possible 'character sets' are necessarily covered.

Alternately (and rather less likely to be the cause), I've sometimes
seen it be the case that a particular message/page/etc. will be
displayed by default with incorrect characters - ? instead of
smart-quotes, that sort of thing - even though my default is UTF-8, but
if I then go to the menu and select UTF-8 manually, it will be displayed
correctly. I suspect that this is a bug in the program involved, but it
can't hurt to try.
