Default 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!

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.
