VF editor contents garbled.

Here is a VF editor issue on TS 6.1/AIX 5.2.
The customer wanted the japanese text to maintained as japanese text in the source code page and not be converted to UTF encoding (say '〹'). So to fix the issue we changed the configs from <clean charencode="charref" cr="cr" lf="lf" showonsize="7000" preferfonttag="false" reducetags="true"/> to
<clean charencode="utf-8" cr="cr" lf="lf" showonsize="7000" preferfonttag="false" reducetags="true"/>.
and
<viewas enabled="true" publish="xhtml" mode="body"> to
<viewas enabled="true" publish="xhtml" mode="body" unicode="true">
Then set the default OS lang to Japanese. The problem got resolved.
Now we face another problem (suspect to be result of the above fix). All the special characters thats used frequently in the XHTML editor doesn't convert well. eg: ¥ ->¥ becomes '/', © becomes 'c', ® becomes 'R' etc, while we save the DCR.
Can someone suggest a solution.
