"Yes... "is that good or is it whack?" :-) What, exactly is the problem: "

Obviously, it is whack. As stated in the other thread the main objective of the program is to take a kanji and break it down phonetically into hiragana or katakana, inputting an EUC-encoded kanji and receiving the exact same EUC-encoded kanji in the output is (I falsely assumed obviously) not good. I understand now though that if you're browser isn't set to EUC encoding you might not see what the character holds.

"which appears to have some useful answers already"
Not really. I understand that I miss encoded the post so after my initial post, it might've been hard to understand that kakasi was returning the exact same thing it was given... even though I typed it in there. I think I did a fairly good job of explaining that in my reply.

The only other reply was given by lestrrat, which didn't tell me much. I guess I need to go out of my way to point out what strings are encoded in what.

And BTW - I used Text::Chasen and solved my issue completely. Thanks for everyone's time.
