Japanese displaying as question marks

Add Japanese fonts to font-family in style.css:

body{
font-family:"ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3","ＭＳ Ｐゴシック",Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,Geneva,sans-serif;
}

I don’t think it worked. It changed the appearance of the font on my website. I retyped the Japanese and saved, and it’s still question marks.

Have you installed any Japanese font on your machine?
And check whether your browser supports it.

Yes, I can both type and view Japanese.

クレアー

Yeah I can see that fine.

please share your solution.

I can’t remember where I found it now, but I had to remove these lines from the config file.

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

The problem was due to Fantastico.

Hi there,

I just posted in a different thread on a similar problem which I was able to resolve without too much hassle.
