    I am trying to put some Japanese characters into an html document and upload it to the Internet. I have both Frontpage and a student version of Dreamweaver. Frontpage is close but it creates a ton of crap I have to strip out. Dreamweaver just shows questions marks or boxes. What do I need to do this? Special software? Skill? Something else?

    For displaying international characters, you need to change the encoding to Unicode (UTF-8 for example).
    Add this to your html page to change encoding to UTF-8

    <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type">
