Yes. Finding in the browser with ctrl-f does in fact seem to work.
It's a good fallback for sure.

Right.

I played around a bit with changing both

 encoding=utf-16
 fileencoding=utf-16

in my ~/.vimrc file. But I managed only to turn my .vimrc file into
kanji and make it completely unreadable!

I suspect there is some way to tell vim "hey, you're in 16-bit Unicode
now" and that that will probably let me paste Japanese directly into
inputfiles. Will require more looking, tho.
