Your browser will usually have a default language encoding set. From
that gif, I'd guess it assumes Japanese encoding unless explicitly told
otherwise. You can usualy change that setting somewhere, but then unless
you explicitly tell the browser which language encoding to use each
time, or use unicode, at least one language will appear broken.

Show me a html page, and I'll tell you how to fix it. The front page of
my web site is a good example of how to mix languages on one page.
