It still doesn't make much sense, but I don't want to start Japanese lessons here...

Anyhow, some DBMS default the character encoding to ASCII (or ISO8859), not UTF, and Western developers often don't care.

Oh yeah you're probably right about that. Good work. By the way, any suggestions on that phrase? I'm not a native speaker so my Japanese isn't very good.

I don't speak Japanese, I just went to translate.google.com and entered some text to get a sample. I can't even remember what I entered.
