Although that would work, I wonder if it'd be easy to find an editor for that... It's usually used for e-mails though. It's always a good idea to use "EUC-JP" (or, if possible, UTF-8). For "shift_jis", here's a note from the manual: http://jp2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php

    Note: SJIS should not be used for internal encoding unless
