- hasenj 16y agoI'm a user of such a language (Arabic) and by now all websites I care about use utf8, so the character encoding is a problem from the past as far as I'm concerned. I'd be really surprised if there are still sites that don't use utf8.
- DarkShikari 16y agoJapan still uses Shift-JIS for practically everything, much to the chagrin of anyone else in the world looking to use their applications.
- hasenj 16y agoI visit some Japanese websites from time to time (not that I can read or anything .. just clicking on links) and don't remember having many problems with weird characters.
- yuhong 16y agoThis is because this is required if the site uses a legacy character encoding AND it is declared incorrectly or not at all.
- ootachi 16y agoIIRC in those locales the Character Encoding menu is under the main Firefox menu.
