Rails - Feb 2007 - japanese chars output as "?????" or garbage val in rails app

Guys,
    In my rails app the japanese chars output as "?????" or garbage
value. I
have searched the forum get some help but I am not clear about the
tropic

I use InstantRails 1.4, In the package mysql version is 4.1.9.

So please help me in the points

0.What will be the mysql(version 4.1.9) collation?  (I used
latin1_swedish_ci)
1. any change in database.yml configuration?
2. What will be the charset in html meta tag?
   suppose I have

   <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
    is it right?

Any other changes need? Because I am new in Ruby so can not understand.
thanks.

Amin
