We have recently been working on a multi-lingual website - one supported language being Korean. Thankfully, on Windows Vista, we have a pre-installed language pack which displays all of the Eastern language characters. However we were running into a problem on some Windows XP machines, that even after installing the language pack, some elements (primarily select drop-down menus) were rendering with square text rather than the Korean language.
After researching into whether or not it was the DOCTYPE of the page, if the font being used supported Korean characters, or it was infact a browser issue as the problem only occured in Internet Explorer. I was able to fix the problem by setting the language charset for the page to Korean by using a meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=euc-kr" />
So simply place this in the <head> tag of your web page and the problem is fixed. Hurrah!
