The reason the second Japanese character is censored out of the title seems to be that having a character outside the BMP in the title broke everything horribly, not because of actual censorship of swearing or something.
I wonder how long it will be until UTF-8 is used everywhere and non-BMP characters enjoy first-class support and testing. You'd think the U+1Fxxx emoji would have been enough to make this happen.
