It looks like the cause of the corruption was converting to UTF-8. When UTF-8 was converted back to Windows-1252, it turned Chinese again. Although I can read very little Chinese, this looks correct. θ±‘ζ£ gets used in the Chinese word for western Chess, and in the table describing castling, η gets used for the King, and θ» gets used for the Rook. So, I converted the text from a backup into Windows-1252, then cut and pasted it here, so that it is stored correctly as UTF-8. I also made local links relative, fixed some links that were incorrect, put everything in the introduction section to avoid English headings, and added a last note at the end in Chinese, thanks to an online translation tool, about this being a translation of our English Fischer Random Chess page. Finally, I deleted my previous revisions.
