I would guess that they are all insults, but aside from that, I have no idea what they mean.

[rklenseth]

Well, it isn't Japanese but Chinese (I know that isn't what the real language is called but I don't feel like looking up the spelling right now).

I'll post the answers tomorrow.

They all look like little squares. Is there some font I should have but don't?

[sammigurl61190]

You don't have Veranda?

That's the font Cantr is in!

[west]

I have Verdana. Is that not the same thing?

[Ash]

I have Verdana. Is that not the same thing?

Lol, i didn't think they should be squares.. At least i am not the only one seeing squares, at school i saw the chinese/japanese letters..

[Sho]

Of course I know it's not Japanese, but the languages share a large number of characters. Many of the languages in East Asia seem to use some Chinese characters, though they use their own alphabets as well. I know the Korean and Japanese writing systems do that.

[kroner]

ewww... kanji...

[grayjaket]

Yeah, lots of East Asian countries use a lot of Kanji. I'm not sure but I thikn the chinese invented Kanji and have more letters right? And the japanese use a mix of Kanji and Hirigana? urrr I think that's what it's called. Maybe Katakana? Not sure. hehe....maybe someone can help me out. Oh, and the reason your seeing squares is probably cuz you don't have some kind of chinese language support thing on your comp. I'm not really sure.

[Sho]

Yeah, that's about right. Japanese uses kanji, hiragana and katakana. Hiragana is phonetic and is used for common words and by kids who don't know enough kanji. Katakana is used for loan words stolen from German, English, French, Spanish and everyone else. As for the squares, you should be able to fix it by twiddling with the encoding. Most versions of Internet Explorer can handle Chinese and Japanese.
