Sorry, should have mentioned that. Yes, the page is UTF-8 (by both server settings and meta element). That still doesn't help me. The Chinese characters only display correctly in IE when I specify the correct language

Yep, the image does indicate the version. Good idea on the HREFLANG. Haven't used that previously, I'll have to investigate

Unfortunately, these links are in a small sidebar. Not a lot of room for spare padding - okay, none. I had to shrink the images a tad to get them in there in the first place. Cool idea though, I might have to see if I can work it in somehow if I can't get a better solution
Thanks for your suggestions, guys. Anyone else want to share?
