I don't think this is a phpwiki problem at all. I looked at your page
and under the date 2003.4.13 there is a paragraph where you have __
and '' and it is correctly translated to <strong> and <em>. In my
browser, <em> seems to tilt the japanese characters and ascii
characters, but <strong> only makes the ascii characters fat. I don't
know why, but it's definately a browser issue.

I am happy to see someone with a japanese wikiwiki and that it seems
to work ok with utf-8. I am planning to create a swedish-japanese
wikiwiki, but haven't had time to check how things work with
phpwiki. Know I just need a good way to input japanese characters in
linux. Anyone can recommend anything? :)
