Two things (at least):
It's either you're not encoding your files properly or you're not
encoding your files properly :)
But seriously, you have to make sure that your files are encoded
correctly. For example, if you're using
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
you have to make sure that you're files were edited and saved as "utf-8".
If you're using shift-jis, then save as "sjis". If you're using euc-jp,
then save as "euc-jp"... (Unless, of course, you're doing some encoding/
decoding inside your script or somewhere else...)
HTH,
- E -
PS
Btw, you've got a wrong character in your Japanese "home" -- you've
written "ho-mo" ("ホーモ") instead of "ho-mu" ("ホーム") ;)
