How do I get ride of random Chinese words from Spanish text?

Hi. I often see Chinese words that replace some letters in a Spanish sentence. It gets really annoying and I can't make out what the Spanish word says.





Any help???How do I get ride of random Chinese words from Spanish text?
When this happens to me, it's because I have a Chinese input program open. It randomly replaces special characters (diacritics, tome marks, accents, etc.), in Spanish, French, etc., with obscure Chinese characters. If you have such a program (e.g., NJStar) close it and the characters will be replaced by the correct special characters. Otherwise, try switching browsers.





It has something to do with the encoding used by the Web page or file you're reading. Once Unicode is adopted everywhere this problem should disappear.





In the meantime, try switching from Internet Explorer 6 to IE 7 or Firefox.





If you're in IE, click on View and go down to Encoding. Make sure that Unicode (UTF-8) is checked.





If you're in Firefox, click on View and go down to Character Encoding. Make sure that Unicode (UTF-8) is checked.





Hope this works for you.
