Much to my dismay, many older models, both J-Phone and Docomo, do not
support UTF-8 for web pages. (Docomo, at least, does support UTF-8
e-mail.) You'll have to send Shift-JIS.
AU seems to be fine, from my limited experiements; I presume that
they're converting at the gateway. I've hopes that one day Docomo and
Vodaphone might start doing this, too.

If the site does only Japanese and English, the easiest thing is to
deliver all web pages in Shift-JIS, because some of them you will have
to deliver in Shift-JIS no matter what else you do.
