Hi Darren,
Thanks for mailing. Got swamped with other problems and have only just
been able to get back to this one.

Well I've tried setting a few encodings such as:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=Shift_JIS
Content-Type: text/html; charset=SJIS
Content-Type: text/html; charset=MS932
Content-Type: text/html; charset=shift_jis
and they don't seem to have any effect on the characters being displayed
on the phone. They also have the effect of making the Japanese
characters unviewable in my browser as well, which is odd, because in
their absence the browser itself defaults to Shift_JIS to display the
characters.
I have found that I can display Japanese characters on a KDDI phone
using an html page, with no particular encoding settings:

However if I get the same text coming out of my servlet engine (through
turbine)

I find it gets displayed as gobblidegook on my KDDI phone.
The only difference I notice is that the Turbine/Tomcat setup does not
add a content length header and sets the content language to en-US
I suspect that this content language us the problem. I have worked out
how to switch Turbine so that it sends a Content-Language: ja-JP header
instead, but this seems to lead to the automatic appending of a
Shift_JIS header, and the results still do not show up properly on the
phone.
I will have to try and get the turbine people to reveal to me how to
avoid appending a Content-Language header.
