Okay, this is a bit of a stumper

I'm seeing a discrepancy in what I see in some of our Japanese pages when I do a View Source on it on the QA version of our site vs. the prod version. Anybody want to help me suss this out?

So I go in IE 7 to the QA version of the page. I do a "View Source" on it and the page's source code pops up in Notepad as expected. I see a bunch of garbled characters that are supposed to be the Japanese characters.

I do this exact same thing on the production version of the page, and I see the actual Japanese characters. To wit, buh?

This therefore can't be an issue with Notepad failing to display the Japanese characters correctly. It can do it with the production page just fine. But what I don't get is why Notepad on the exact same computer shows me garbled characters for one page and Japanese characters for another one.

Note also that the QA version of the page displays the Japanese characters in the source code just fine if I look at it in Firefox.

Anybody got any theories?
