I need to change my character encoding to EUC-JP

Here is my code: 

formData.append("send", "送信");
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST", "foo.php", false);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/html; charset=euc-jp");
xhr.send(formData);

I've just learned that:

Content-Type cannot be set upon sending FormData() object.

and

the default encoding is UTF-8

Because of UTF-8 encoding, I cannot receive the correct japanese characters on foo.php.

  • Why not use UTF8 everywhere? – mplungjan Oct 03 '17 at 09:47

  • UTF-8 should support the four groups of japanese characters, as long as it's used consistently – adeneo Oct 03 '17 at 09:50
  • @Tareq I think not? because of the sending _**FormData()**_ object part. – neil Oct 03 '17 at 09:52
  • @mplungjan my whole project is `EUC-JP`, Im using japanese characters in different forms. – neil Oct 03 '17 at 09:54
