View Full Version : Invalid Unicode on HDD & Japanese characters on web page

Well, these are the two problems I've been unable to solve so far...

There are files on my Windows partitions with Turkish names, and I've tried both

iocharset=iso8859-9

and

iocharset=windows-1254

These both correspond to Turkish character sets, but Linux insists that my files have "Invalid Unicode"...

Another problem I have is: I can't display Japanese characters on web pages correctly. Well, not all of them at least. Some display just fine, but the others are just squares with numbers in them.

Oh, and yes, the correct encoding is selected for Japanese pages. And I use Mozilla Firebird 0.7

Please help me solve these 2 issues... =)

Thanks,

For the filename issue, try the mount(8) option "iocharset=utf8" (or just "utf8").

That's probably related to your "Character Coding" selection. It's in View -> Character Coding. You can try "Auto Detect -> Japanese" and see if that works.
