Good!
Sorry, it's my misunderstanding. Pier is NOT broken by Japanese text too.

I agree it's enough to display it in a web-browser. 
However, it is not the point I'm afraid. I mean the non-latin1 text is
broken as a WideString in Squeak. The text cannot be saw and handled
crrectly in the Squeak side, not in the web-browsers. So that, you
cannot edit, even search, the text from Squeak. And, I think, it will be
cause of many bugs.
