Right.  Whether it's convenient or not I care not, I just need to know
how to get Japanese text through the system to the people I want to send
it to - and some of that is indeed to keitai's, so I need to use
whatever works and it would appear that UTF-8 - while desirable -
doesn't work across the board.
    I know it's the other way around actually - that the machines not
properly dealing with it are at fault, but that's all completely out of
my control - all I can do is to try to send it a form that the
receiver's machine will correctly display.....
