I searched and couldn't find the answer so...
I can read and write Korean fine on most websites and programs... but sometimes I can't. How can I ensure I can read it all? Thanks. |

Sounds like an encoding problem.
Click "view", encoding (firefox: character encoding), and select Korean. |

try the encoding as suggested, but in my experience not all korean websites work well with browsers other than IE, and many do not follow conventions, such as indicating the language used  |

| Have you installed asian language support on your system? Go to Control Panel, Regional Settings and look to add the support if its not there already. |

I'd be pretty surprised to hear that he didn't have Asian language support already installed. |

| You are right, somehow I overlooked the fact that he said he could already write and read some sites. |

| All I want to know is how to get rid of the won symbol and get my backslash symbol back. Nothing looks uglier than a bunch of won symbols in a file path. |

In my experience that practically requires an exorcism....  |
