It responds with:

?????????????????????
translate:? not post of alphanumeric characters only is accepted.

I'm guessing it expects a Japanese character encoding or something?
You may have to set up IME (if on Windows).

Thank you guys!! I believe it accepted it.  You guys are awesome!!  I'm checking with a site that used to make pcb's for retro computers to see if they have a ram/rom/fdd emulator.

Glad we could help

according to original Japanese text it should be Roman numbers, so standard ASCII,
but since it some times didn't work, maybe we ran into some kind of time out in the translation process.

Hope you find what you are looking for, my experience with Japanese is that they often read and write a reasonable English but seldom speaks English.

There are thousands of Kanji and other CJK characters, which requires multibyte encodings. But there are multiple incompatible coding standards, including Shift-JIS, ISO-2022, UCS-2, or UTF-8. In this case, the web page expects only ASCII numerals from 0 to 9 (the "half-width" characters).
There are multibyte encodings of "full-width" 0 to 9, which would be outside the ASCII repertoire. Probably it is more work to accept those in a web form (the client and server must agree on an encoding). Viewing Japanese web sites often requires the text encoding to be fixed manually, so I take it this is still a problem.

I hope they respond, or I'll have to try to translate my English question into Japanese and resubmit that - if that happens I'll be asking in this thread for help with the capcha again.
