As far as I can see what ever you have used to create this site uses  
the HTML
character codes, I had a little play around and plugged "東"  
into a HTML
file and it came up as とう. So looked to me, the problem lies with  
whatever software
you are using. If your using some sort of gui program maybe you can  
put in some garbage
text then go back and insert the Japanese with your favorite editor.

Regards,
Brent.
