I see. Well, non-ascii characters such as Japanese render properly =

when <i> and <b> are used. Perhaps one can hack the code so that those =

are generated instead of <em> and <strong>? Any reasons why that shouldn'=

be attempted?

I would recommend that you attempt to input (via copy/paste, =

for example) such mixed data in the phpWiki at the ISSHO site, =

which we know is set up properly for the task. Perhaps some =

scribbling on this page: =

&pagename=3DIdoBata

or contributions to the lang-codes page: =

http://www.issho.org/modules.php?op=3Dmodload&name=3DphpWiki&file=3Dindex=
&pagename=3DLangCodes

If you can achieve that, you can be sure to have =

cleared a number of problems that plague people. See this and others =

posts on the ISSHO forum for a list of some of those: =

Japanese character input on linux? That might be the least of your =

worries: =
