How to display Japanese characters on an html page?

I'm designing a website that offers english guide to a japanese game and I need to display some of the original kanji/hiragana/katakana such as this: " 飼い葉 ". It displays fine in the coding portion of the website but when I view it in my browser, it doesn't show. I've tried changing the character set to EUC-JP and SHIFT-JIS but neither work. I want visitors to my website to see the characters without having to change their browser settings or install any additional fonts. Help?
I've tried setting the charset to utf-8 and the kanji still renders as ??? and I know for a fact my browser/computer has the correct character languages installed because I can view japanese characters on other websites.
nevermind, I figured out that my program I was using to create the code was saving the htm files as ANSI instead of utf-8. It worked when I set the charset to utf-8 and used notepad to insert the japanese characters.
