How do I make XML show Japanese characters?
Here is the top of my xml code and my first Japanese tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<udonpics>
<udon image="1.png" tooltip="??????" />
I am using xml with flash to show images and descriptions. when the flash movie loads after I upload it , the description is blank. I know it has to do with the text being in japanese, because when I try English it works. Please help! Thanks 
The trick to handling anything with a foreign character set is to make sure that it is able to read unicode, and set to read unicode, through everything. My guess is that you need to set your flash movie to handle unicode as well. From what I see in your XML there that everything should be fine since you are using the UTF encoding. You could also look into the XML Lang attribute which you can use to specify a language. However make sure that your flash is able to read the unicode characters first before you go tinkering with the XML file.
Hope this helps!
