i wonder are japanese users of wordpress experincing the same problem

DH2: are you using the latest version of WordPress? It should handle the slugs fine.

Also, you might need to fix your database encoding:

Hi Nao, it’s the title that has problems, so I don’t think it’s slug related. I am using version 2.9.1.

I will have a look at the database encoding, thanks for your suggestion.

A clean and simple solution (Commenting out the following two lines in wp-config.php) has worked for me.

/** 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’, ”); */
