title: HTML encoding of Japanese text
body: <p>I'm making a static HTML page that displays courtesy text in multiple languages. I noticed that if I paste <code>ウェブサイトのメンテナンスの下で</code> into Expression Blend, that text appears the same in the code. I think it's bad for compatibility and should be replaced by proper HTML entities.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried <a href="http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/HTMLEncode/encode.aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/HTMLEncode/encode.aspx</a> but it returns me the same Japanese text.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it correct, from the point of view of browser compatibility, to paste that Japanese right into the source code of an HTML page?</li>
  <li>Else, what is the correct HTML encoding of that text? Or, better, is there any tool that I can use to convert non-ASCII characters to HTML entities, possibly online and possibly free?</li>
  </ol>
