This is something I have been having trouble with lately. I have been trying
out Dreamweaver for making web pages, and I used shift-jis. It works fine in
IE, but in netscape and explorer it is mojibake hell. I have the software
set for shift-jis and I use the meta line in html to designate the charset.
I have looked at the code for other sites (sites that look okay in
netscape), and there are no differences. In fact, when I save the source and
then look at them on my machine, it is mojibake. I thought that maybe my
installation of netscape is bad, but the same thing happens on Opera. What
is more, when I use Red Hat and I go into KDE with shift-jis, many of the
menu items, like in the start window, are moji-bake. That was the reason I
switched to gnome and used iso2022-jp instead. The problem is that
iso-2022-jp does not seem to work for web pages.

Rather than insight on the problems above, does anyone have some insight and
references on the differences, uses, and compatibilities of iso-2022-jp,
JIS, shift-JIS, Unicode, UTF8 and 7 and so on? Which should I use for what?
