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

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,

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.
