Strange mojibake (text garbling) problem resolved...

Just wanted to let users of the Japanese Language Pack know that if there are non-standard characters within the text of any product description that results in mojibake within the text, this can lead to mojibake occurring in completely different areas of the whole page, i.e., in the sideboxs, in the navigation etc.

In a few of my pages that I had copied the text in from other sites, there was apostrophes that were not standard web characters. These apostrophes would appear as mobibake on the page, and not only that, other menus on the page would get garbled too... Deleting them and typing in correct ones solved all the interface problems...

It seemes very strange to me that a character in the body of the page could affect the characters in unrelated menus etc.
