I asked a few days ago why mothra does not show Japanese text.  After that many negative answers were returned.  Yes, I know I'd better to choose another Web browser.  However, we have no choise than mothra, if we confined ourselves to Plan 9.
Furthermore, if she(Hah?) could display Japanmese, I can use it as an tool to introduce basic usage of Plan 9 system to my users.

Then, I'm still hanging on that problem.

When I see the codes in rdhtml.c, I found that
the latin2utf() assumes the runes are latines, not
more large, say three byte utfs such as Japanese.

For examples,
  for(l=latin;*l;l++) nutf+=runelen(*l&255);  etc.

Are there any special purpose to use this coding?
