Japanese characters display with wrong encoding all of a sudden...

I had no issues before when it came to typing in Japanese in DW using the windows language bar , I would just change the keyboard to JP(japanese) and then start typing within DW code view, but then one day after doing updating my main template and using the find and replace feature in DW all the Japanese characters turned into question marks, diamonds with question marks and ASCII alphanumeric codes..
also the spaces in my documents  turned into blocks. It was a mess,
*I don't know if it was something I triggered accidentaly or if it was some type of bug....I also remember copying and pasting text and Japanese characters from another website that I created(but I had done that a dozen times before and it was never a problem).
Long story short, after not being able to find a solution I decided to manually delete the weird symbols and start over, I typed in Japanese using the windows language bar as always and began typing away inside the same pages that displayed those weird characters (sorry I don't know what the proper name for them is)and it accepted the Japanese characters with no issues, it was working just like it did before.
but my question is "What happened?" was that a bug in DW or was it something on my end?
I would like to know so I can fix the problem incase this happens again.
I've always had utf-8 as the charset and it's never been an issue. (and I all my pages are saved as utf-8 as well)
--Which is why I am confused why all the Japanese got messed up.
Here is the head code of one of the pages that had the problem:
Thank you.

Without seeing an actual page, it's impossible to say what happened, but the most likely explanation is that you did something wrong. Asian characters, such as Japanese, require correct encoding. If the encoding is incorrect, you end up with mojibake.
I suspect that what happened is that you copied and pasted from Shift-JIS or EUC-JP encoding into a different encoding. It's quite possible that your page was set to iso-8859-1 (Western European) without realizing.
By the way, your head code didn't show up in your post.

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with the stabilization all of a sudden. I did an analyze. The amount of shake isn't terrible but it's there. There are no squiggly lines in the clip I'm trying to stabilize. As you can see in the screenshot that it allows me to click the "Smooth clip motion" but the slider is not there for zoom. Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden? It happens on all clips in this event. The entire event was analyzed after importing.

  • How to write Japanese characters (kanji) with OS X 10.5.8

    How can I write text in Japanese characters (kanji), switching from English or Dutch and back in OS X 10.5.8 ?

    Maybe there is a way to input Hiragana, after which a choice of Kanji is offered, from which to choose the right one since many Kanji  are pronounced the same way but have a different meaning (and Hiragana and Katakana are phonetic).
    Of course, that is exactly what everyone does with Kotoeri.  Perhaps you did not see Page 2 of the site?

    Often printing problems are a sign of corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages.

  • Strangest problem with psd's all of a sudden.  Any insight?

    Hello everyone! Hope all are well this Saturday evening.
    I've encountered the strangest problem that has seem to come out of nowhere.
    DVDStudio pro has all of a sudden decided that psd's are incompatible format.
    Here is the strangest part, it's doing this on 2 desktops and a laptop all with dvd studio pro.
    Not only won't it let me import the new master menu psd file we've created to replace the one that was in there previously, but it won't let me import almost any psd file previously used. Even if I just create a blank psd file from scratch.
    Has anyone ever encountered this?
    The psd's are in RGB btw and the message it says exactly is
    "IMPORT ASSETS
    INCOMPATIBLE FORMAT"
    I tried saving as a tiff as well and same thing.
    I can't think of anything that would make this happen to 3 computers!

    I turned the phone off and back on. I hooked up to my computer. I can access the store but when I try to upgrade I get a messge that the phone cannot access the store. I got one of the two apps I was trying to upgrade by frist going to Purchases (in the App Update section) but the other sitll did not work and I got the same message that store cannot be accessed.

  • Firefox doesn't display PDFs in browser all of a sudden

    I noticed earlier that all of a sudden I can't view PDFs files in Firefox. I tried plugins, updating Firefox and everything on my Mac, and any other options I could find but nothing seems to work. I installed the recommended plugin for viewing pdfs, but it just views a blank white page (instead of "missing plugin" that, when clicked, didn't give me any information).

    Remove all other plugins you have installed for viewing PDFs and install [https://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html Adobe reader]

  • DTR tool replicates with wrong encoding

    Hi all!
    I am trying to migrate an old NWDI (based on 7.00) to a new one (7.40). To get the existing tracks to the new NWDI I create the tracks at the new NWDI and copy the sources with the version history according to this link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/46/5d032c1e661cbee10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
    I have migrated a lots of tracks successfully but now there is a track language specific signs (Umlaute) at the naming of the activities. Since I was not aware of that I just started the migration as always.
    But when I had a look at the sources I got some strange behaviours:
    - Of course the names of the activities were not correctly encoded
    - At the new repository all activities that delete folders are visible at the activities list but were not executed. The folders are still there but empty.
    - At the new repository there are some strange other activities, always named "equals_relation_creation_for_(...)"
    Now I have found out that file.encoding was configured wrongly at my Java VM. For a new try I need to remove the activities from the database.
    What I already tried:
    -  Delete the repositories and recreate these by removing the SC from the track, delete the repositories, re-adding the SC and restart the replication process.
    - Delete the repositories and tried to delete the activities from the database with the gc-command at the DTR tool. Unfortunately there are so many activities that have to be removed that the database says "too many cursors". I didnt find any way around this problem.
    - During the replication process there is this "-r" trigger at the replicate-command to resume a replication. I just removed the "-r" trigger but this did not work.
    Is there anyway to remove the activities one by one from the database (I would write script then)? The "bad" signs are not the worst problem but the existing empty folders. I hope that the other sources are correct.

    Hi Richard,
    I am not sure if you can remove the activities only but if you go into DTR as Web Folder you can delete objects. To delete any folder structure you have to take the inside out approach, i.e. delete all the contents of a folder in a certain level then only you can delete the folder.
    But first let a expert guide you with a better solution
    Thanks

  • InDesign Cs5 displayed with wrong resolution (doesn't work in 1920x1080)

    Hello everybody
    I've encountered a resolution issue concerning Indesign CS5 (and Illustrator CS5). The problem only concerns my brandnew laptop running under Windows 8.1 (Screen Resolution 1920x1080). On my other, older PC (with the same native screen resolution), but running under Windows 7, the problem doesn't exist.
    The problem consists in the fact, that Indesign CS5, even though everything else is displayed in 1920x1080 is displayed in some lower resolution, making a good workflow impossible, *** the texts I write are not very readable if I want the whole page displayed (and it's ugly). In other Adobe CS5 Apps, like Photoshop CS5, this problem does not occur. It doesn't also occur in the trial version of Indesign CC, but I cannot afford paying over 30€ per month just to be able to work with an acceptable work resolution. (That should really be included in the price I paid for CS5.)
    To see what I mean, here are the links to 2 screenshots taken of those 2 Apps, with exactly the same screen settings:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4786930/Indesign%20CS5%20Screenshot%20Windows%208-1.jp g
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4786930/Photoshop%20CS5%20Screenshot%20Windows%208-1.j pg
    Is there any workaround known for this problem? It is driving me crazy
    Best regards,
    Frank

    What's bizar is that other applications work perfectly fine at the right resoution (like photoshop CS5 for example). The screen runs at its native resolution. The rest of the program works "fine" (except its uglyness because it somehow doesn't display in 1920x1080 even though that are the native settings of the screen.)
    What do you mean exactly by running the laptop at 100% for the UI? I did not use any other programs and the laptop is brandnew. Actually CS5 is the first application I installed...

  • Chinese characters displayed with Arial

    Hello,
    I have got a very strange problem. I have a java application (I'm using Swing) that uses Chinese characters. The characters are displayed correctly.
    During runtime the characters turn into squares. There is no regularity or specific action I do that triggers this event.
    There are two problems:
    1. As I mentioned, the characters turn into squares
    2. The Chinese characters should NOT be displayed, as I am using "Arial", which does not contain Unicode characters.
    Some suppose that the glyph cache contains - for what reason ever - the Chinese characters. Consequently, though using arial you can display Unicode characters. Then, at an unknown moment the garbage collector clears the glyph cache so that the characters turn into squares.
    Is this theory logical? What other causes could there be for this problem? :-S
    Thanks...!

    No. You're trying to display something the operating system and JVM can't display, and they show you the only thing they can show, a placeholder.
