Well, thank you. I think that's the answer that
I wanted to get.

It doesn't really matter what app I use, cuz I
wanted IME solution rather than individual app
solution. That, I know how to handle.

Yes, I'm aware of that. One just has to specify
the encoding in the meta tag. And it seems that
new browsers these days can detect the encoding
without the tag anyway.

However, we all know that the most used browser is
IE on Windows platform. For that reason, in Japan,
it is pretty much like an industry-standard (AFAIK)
to use sjis in HTML and JSP, and EUC in Servlet, if
you were developing on Unix platform.

Thank you for the answer. I think the way I asked
was not good and clear. I apologize that.
