You're quite right about this :). I found a book about CSS/HTML in
japanese that was written in 2004, and inside it was advised not to
use UTF-8 because some characters don't display well........ The
generally accepted idea is that since Shift_JIS was created by
Japanese people for Japanese people, then it handles the Japanese
language better than UTF-8, which is not true (^_^)
