google doesn't understand english!
 
google is indexing our freshly live site. unfortunately it's indexing this as part of the content

柊lbany, NY ╥ 肘ndianapolis, IN ╥ 姫hiladelphia, PA ╥ 柊nnapolis, MD ╥ 弼acksonville, FL ╥ 姫hoenix, AZ ╥ 柊tlanta, GA

we are using a java dropdown menu, with bullets in front of the categories, and a capital letter. for some reason between these two characters it thinks that my page is in japanese...this is bad.

help!

Re: google doesn't understand english!
 
For anyone who runs into this issue or similiar, the bullet points were included in our anchor text from our drop-down instead of being a picture...which also really sucked for SEO purposes. We added a space in between the bullet and the text which fixed the Japanese issue.

Ultimately we scrapped the menu and went with a different one that has images in the drop-down.
