Test for UTF-8:   Japanese, German, Russian, Polish
(including form input and form elements such as selection list)

Note for Windows users. To see Japanese, you may need to download and install a Unicode font that covers more languages than regular "Arial" or "Times New Roman" used in your browser by default for the encoding="Unicode(UTF-8)".
For instance, here is one very large Unicode font that contains Japanese and Chinese in addition to European alphabets
(it's already present on your PC if you have either of the following: MS Office ver. 2000 or higher, FrontPage 2000, MS Publisher ver. 2000 or higher):   "Arial Unicode MS".
If you do not have this font, then find similar one (i.e. one containing Far Eastern symbols) on this page: "Unicode fonts for Windows computers", for example, download and install freeware font Bitstream CyberBit.

This form has ...method=GET for Submit - to show you what Hex values (byte values representing the letters typed) are submitted as an URL-encoded string displayed in the Address bar after you hit "Submit".

I have a reference table that contains the byte values of some test national strings for various encodings (see UTF-8 data there to check this UTF-8 test page Submit results), you may want to open it in another window to see both your Submit results and the reference table:
  "Byte (Hex) values for test strings".
