Paste the corrupted text into the above field and press "Fix!". If
you do not get back readable Chinese text, please send a copy of the
original e-mail through my <A HREF="contact.html">contact page</A> and
I will work on adapting the program to handle it correctly. People
have reported it also works for corrupted Japanese and Korean e-mails.
<P>
Unfortunately, e-mails where the Chinese characters have all been
converted to question marks are beyond fixing. Too much information
is lost. Persons sending the e-mail should make sure to set the
e-mail encoding to a Chinese encoding such as GB, Big5, or UTF-8.
<P>
For ideas on how to prevent e-mail from being corrupted in the first
place, please visit the tutorial on e-mail at <A

The <a href="http://lang.ojnk.net/hindi/unifix.html">Hindi Unicode Repair Tool</a> offers a similar web service for Hindi. For Cyrillic there is the <A HREF="http://www.2cyr.com/decode/">Universal Cyrillic auto-decoder</A>. The phenomenon of garbled text is often called <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake">mojibake</a> from the Japanese version of the problem.
