I want to display Japanese text on my site and am having many problems.

I am using Linux Redhat 8, PHP 4.2.

Basically what I have is a file page.php with the following code:

page.php:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" content="ja">
</head>
<body>Home:<br>
<?php
include("lng_page_ja.php"); 

echo "home in japanese:"; 
echo "<br><br>$home"; 

?> 
</body>
</html>

I then have an include file with the Japanese text assigned to the
variable $home.

lng_page_ja.php:
<?php
$home = "ホーãƒ"; 

?> 

This should output the japanese characters for Home. But all I get is
garbage out.

Why?

What changes dfo I have to do. I do not want to use a database yet to
store the Japanese text.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dennis
