Japanese Kanji in forms and passing via POST

[empiresolutions]

I hope this question is in the right forum. I figured since the end result is a PHP result it fits here.

I have a normal HTML form. In it are text fields. Some of my customers will be filling the form with Kanji and Katakana characters. The form shows as filling fine, but when submitted, the returning POST values are empty. I have checked all over the web and i just cant seem to find anything about what I'm missing.

I do have meta tag

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

if $_POST is empty, you didn’t do a post submit.

Try test printing

print_r($_POST);
print_r($_GET);

I'm posting other data as well and it comes through fine. I am viewing results with a print_r. Latin characters also do not pass.

maybe the according form elements do not have a name or are not part of the form?
