hi,
have you tried to set the output encoding to the one you need (i don't know the japanese encoding name...):

<xsl:output media-type="text/html" method="html" encoding="JAPANESE_ENCODING"/>

that should output your HTML in the given encoding and i guess it should insert the appropriate japanese characters then.


btw, would you have a short stylesheet in the japanese encoding with jap. characters in it? i would like to test my own application if it can handle other encodings than utf-8, iso-8859-1 or ascii...
thanks in advance!

chris
