Are there Japanese characters missing in UTF-8? They should be added ASAP.
I know there's a weird Chinese/Japanese encoding problem where characters that kind-of look alike have the same character id, and the font file is responsible for disambiguation (terrible for multi-language content and we should really add more characters to create versions for each, but still the best we have).
