I am trying to make a Jekyll site where the contact form is in Japanese Shift-JIS character encoding, not UTF-8 (REASON: my homepage service has a free-of-charge form decode cgi which expects the input to be Shift JIS, not UTF-8. When I use UTF-8 for the form, the email that gets sent from the HTML form becomes garbled).
Unfortunately, Jekyll seems to expect all files to be in UTF-8 and I get the error message “invalid byte sequence in UTF-8”. Is there a way around this? Thanks for any help!:
