If someone with a Chinese browser can tell you exactly what character 
encoding is commonly used for their text fields, then you just need 
to modify bomis's server configs to change the "Character-Encoding" 
line to that.  Same for Japanese.  If Chinese and/or Japanese 
browsers can be configured to use UTF-8, that would probably be best 
since that would enable simulataneous display of all languages, but I 
think most older browsers use ISO-2022 or something.
