title: How to display Japanese characters on a php page?
body: <p>I'm trying to display Japanese characters on a PHP page.  No loading from the database, just stored in a language file and echo'ed out.</p>
  
  <p>I'm running into a weird scenario.  I have the page properly setup with UTF-8 and I test a sample page on my local WAMP server and it works.  </p>
  
  <p>The moment I tested it out our development and production servers the characters don't display properly.  </p>
  
  <p>This leads me to believe then that it's a setting in php.ini.  But I haven't found much information about this so I'm not really sure if this is the issue.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there something fundamental I'm missing?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
