Default [SOLVED] Solution to Japanese mojibake?

How to solve the mojibake on old Japanse page like this?

It must be a text encoding problem, but a recent Windows update blocked Internet Explorer and forced Edge to pop up. Even the Edge's new function IE mode isn't activated in wayback site and is never available.

edit:
I got a solution from here. This is only for wayback machine.

Just add "id_" in front of the original address name.

it was fixed at once for Chrome and Edge. For Firefox "View>Repair Text Encoding" was required after adding id_.



The result of fixing with id_ before running "Repair Text Encoding"



Some other mojibake pages could be fixed with IE mode in Edge for now.

Apparently IE mode is available at least until 2029. I might be asking again here in 2030.
