You can't really because of the file name within the program itself.  It depends on the source.  If its from another user who has a strange user name, then it may not be in English.

On a mac, it means your code is not gramticcally correct. On a PC I don't know but it's proably the same.

The EMACS text editor has a decode buffer mode. It's a little fiddly to use, but it allows you to apply any simple substitution cipher.\n\nIt should be easy to write a simple decoder using JavaScript / HTML by manipulating ASCII code values.\n\nEither way gets more complex if you want to decode accents.

Go to "View" then "Encoding" and search for "Chinese Simplified" or "Chinese Traditional." You should be able to read it then.

It's a BinHex Encoded File.  Says you need Stuffit Expander to open the files.\n\nAt the stuffit site, you can get a free trial for the decoder.

man, the answers here are too stupid for hteir own.\n\nYou are creating a DVD on Western Platform. I take it, you are using an OS that is in English?\n\nIn order to "view" japanese as part of your filenames, you need your operating system to accept Japanese coding (characters).\n\nIf you are using Windows, then you will need ot isntall the Japanese character Set for your operating system\n\nIf you are using MacOS . i have no idea.

I'm sure what you're trying to do.  Unicode is a character set like ASCII.  Even if you can read it, it may be in another language.  That is the reason systems use Unicode.  ASCII was good for English, but not very practical for other languages with special characters.  \n\nTry this site.  There are unicode downloads available. http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/msn-unicode.html\n\n\n"Unicode - A code similar to ASCII, used for representing commonly used symbols in a digital form. Unlike ASCII, however, Unicode uses a 16-bit dataspace, and so can support a wide variety of non-Roman alphabets including Cyrillic, Han Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Bengali, and so on. Supporting common non-Roman alphabets is of interest to community networks, which may want to promote multicultural aspects of their systems. However Unicode is not widely supported at present, and requires sophisticated (and therefore expensive) graphical computers."

Something like\n"қазақстан ұлттық олимпиялық комитет"\nGood Luck, make sure, you have cyrillic encoding to see that.
