Hi

I am putting together an email in Japanese. It is fine in Marketo but when I send a test (to Outlook) it shows the whole thing like this:
アジアã�®æ¶ˆè²»è€…ã�«ã�¨ã�£ã�¦“スーパーフルーツ”ã�ŒæŠ—酸化物ã�«ç¹‹ã�Œã‚‹ã�®ã�¯æ–°ã�—ã�„コンセプトã�§ã�‚る。å�¥åº·ã�Œè¦�求ã�™ã‚‹é…¸åŒ–防止剤ã�¨ã�

It's also completey thrown our template so the email is all over the place as well.

I know Marketo is already UTF-8 compatible.

Can anyone help me fiz this/work around this please?

Thanks,
Hannah

Hi Hannah,

We are sending email in Japanese too. At first we had issues with caracters as well (a lot of ???) but now it's fine.

We are using either Frontpage or Dreamwaver to create .html (and we make sure we have selected UTF-8 in options) and then we load html via the Email Actions > Html Tools > Replace Html
