Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Saving Japanese to the tex file

[User1291]

I am trying to add some japanese to an otherwise english document.
Here's my attempt:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt, pdftex, a4page, utf8]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%...
\usepackage{CJK}
\newcommand{\jap}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{min}#1\end{CJK}}
%...
\begin{document}
%...
\jap{よろしくお願いします}
%...
\end{document}

Now, what I get, when I compile that is a row of question marks instead of the japanese characters.
What's more, when I close the editor (using TeXstudio on Win7, btw), the characters in the tex file have also been replaced with question marks:
\jap{??????????}

So ... why is that, and how do I make it work like I intend it to?
Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi User1291,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

This is most likely an encoding problem. You need to make sure that your editor saves the file in the same encoding that you specified as option for inputenc, i.e., unicode encoding for utf8. I am not familiar with TeXstudio so I can't tell you where to look but it should have some menu for this.

I can now open and close the file without loosing the characters. (Took me long enough to find the option.) Thank you.

However, I am now getting lots of errors I'm not sure what to do with:

errors-japanese.jpg (121.92 KiB) Viewed 5673 times

In case you were wondering, line 64 would be \jap{よろしくお願いします}.

These are not the errors from the minimal working example you posted in your first post and the errors seem unrelated to the question from this thread. I suggest you try to build another minimal working example the reproduces the first error message you're getting and post a new question in a new thread.
