The first idea that comes to mind is if the FTP program is attempting to transfer the file as binary rather than ascii. It would be weird for it to do that, but would be something to look into. Are you accessing the file using BBEdit's FTP open capability or a separate FTP program? The UTF-16 w/BOM could also be the culprit. I come across many programs that can't handle it, and maybe something goes astray in the transfer. I generally stick with UTF-8 w/o BOM, and I use Japanese and English together in my HTML documents.
