I've been looking through the phone book all morning calling everyone I can think of looking for this stuff.

I called every florist in the yellow pages. I called some Asian grocery store. I can't find 門松　anywhere.

Does anyone have any clue where to look for this? I'm in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

Thanks!

Edit: Why don't kanji appear correctly in the title?

Code is prohibited in many message board fields to prevent buffer-overflow hacks and other such goodness. Cleverly constructed code can sometimes run from a text field box.

That was supposed to be the kanji for kadomatsu. For some reason, they didn't show up in the title, but did in the actual post.

This is because as I stated before, the vBulletin code does not allow special code in the title for the same reasons you can't have smilies in the title, nor vB code like this or this or this.

I read your first post...I was trying to explain what it was to those who were wondering.

I'm still not sure that kanji should be classified in the same way as vB Code or smilies.

I assume you are using a flavor of Mozilla which posts non-ASCII text as the HTML entities. It doesn't matter whether it's text or any of the other things html entities can represent, they aren't allowed.

If you want Japanese or any non-ASCII characters to show up in the title, then you'll have to choose an encoding and hope everyone else is using that same encoding to read it with. So goes the world.

大丈夫です。
