Like I said, Gurupa iconvs to Shit_JIS for all Japanese pages.

What we don't know is if Steve's query gets mangled on the way to the
search engine, or, as I suspect, it is valid UTF-8 all the way through
the round-trip until Gurupa renders the presentation.

I'll ask around; I doubt this information would be considered
confidential by the A9 / website platform teams at Amazon.
