What result? You seem to have fullquoted a rather clueless post which
lacked all the essential information, such as a URL and browser names
and versions and what actually happened.

Having a bad day, Jukka? ;-)

The OP wrote about this result:
"Everywhere else on the page all Japanese characters appear just fine,
except in the title. They ALL show up as squares in the title of the
browser, meaning the browser cannot display them."

This implies to me that the issue is how his browser is presenting the
information in the title area, so a URL would not be very useful to anyone
else. Pacal's approach to go to a site that is likely to have Japanese
characters seems reasonable to me, and confirmation that there are squares
in the title reinforces the notion that this is the behavior of the
individual's system/browser.

I suspect that the display in the title area of a browser is determined by
the language character set in use on the person's computer, and therefore
extended characters would not display as expected.
