Display of Japanese characters on cfm page - UsingColdfusion MX7 (English version)

#1 08-25-2008, 03:56 AM

Hi,

I have an application which is currently running on Japanese version of
Coldfusion 5.

I am now porting it to Coldfusion MX7, which is an English version. I am not
able to display the Japanese characters in the .cfm pages correctly now. Is
there a specific setting I need to do?

what exactly does "not able to display the Japanese characters in the .cfm pages
correctly" mean? from a database? static text in cf pages? mojibake?

what encoding did you use in cf5?

in general, cf5 doesn't know encoding from a hole in the ground. cf6 & above
does & defaults to utf-8 (unicode). that's most likely the cause of your problems.

Hi,

This probably has to do with the database drivers. If I remember correctly then not all of them support unicode (this may be different depending on the CF version).

cheers,
Fober
