I checked a backup of the database and found that most of the Japanese is stored in this format:

¡Ö911ÌÜ·â¼Ô¡×

That particular text, appears the same way when viewed in the backend.

However, in the front end, it appears as it should: 「911目撃者」but only when my browser encoding is set to Japanese EUC.

If I change the browser encoding to Western (ISO Latin 1) it appears as: ¡Ö911ÌÜ·â¼Ô¡×

I believe what I need to do is convert the format of the data in the database. I have spent the last few hours trying to find a way to convert

¡Ö911ÌÜ·â¼Ô¡×

to

「911目撃者」

but have had no luck.

As zen-cart seems to be able to do the conversion, surely there must be a way? Of perhaps, the exported data is not the same as what is stored online??

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!
