how can i set japanese string in the cookie

[RandyTh]

I am trying to set the japanese characters in this useremail cookie.
The thing is sometimes the $HTTP_COOKIE_VA RS['username'] returns me a
garbled string;
Do I have to encode first before I save it in the cookie?

setcookie( "username", $username, time()+3600*24* 30*12*5, "/",
www.mydomain.com, 0 );

Have you tried utf8encode($use rname)?

For the setcookie, I remember we don't have to do anything about the
encoding.
'cause the function itself is taking care of the encodeing issue.

The thing is sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
I don't know why this is happening.
