Save your Q/A file as UTF-8 and play around with the "decode UTF-8" checkbox on import.

I use Pauker. It is free, runs on almost any computer (Java), can do Japanese (just choose an appropriate font), and uses a proper Leitner system (spaced algorithm). High recommendations from me. |

And, there is MiniPauker being developed which can share files with its big brother and is written in J2ME (Java Micro Edition), which means it can run on most advanced handhelds and cellphones.

I'm using KingKanji on Palm. It's not perfect (and it works only for Japanese, there is a separate version for Chinese) but it's the best I've seen to date.
I'd be happy if someone could suggest something better of course.

Try Before You Know It . It has flashcards for 27 languages and you can upgrade to a deluxe version. It's pretty good. By the way, the "Lite" version is free. :-]

There also is SuperMemo. They offer an older version for download free of charge. I'm using it to great benefit.
I don't know the other programs but SuperMemo has a learning algorithm that shows you the cards most in need of repetion based on your self-grading during the last session.
So you get to learn effectively without redundant repetitions of items you know well.

There's not much to play around with. I can only check or uncheck the "Decode UTF-8" box. I tried both, but nothing worked for me.
I downloaded the "Remembering the Kanjis" worldlist as *.txt and *.xls.

No free but very good is Declan Software's Japanese FlashCards.
It needs to have the Japanese IME installed - instructions here.

I think no one mentioned it yet: those willing to use such a program on a PC might want to look at http://www.wordchamp.com/lingua2/Home.do -- their flash card page is the most efficient and convenient option I've seen on a PC so far. Its' main problem is that you apparently need to enter cards one by one manually.
