Shift-JIS is still a pain in the ass. I recently encountered two applications that only work properly in Japanese Windows, and in any other locale will just display mojibake. And these are modern applications, made in the last year. How is

In my case, we learnt it in high school. Our teachers insisted on it being very useful to look up the pronunciation of unknown words, and we even had exams where we had to transcribe from IPA to the standard spelling. This was in Spain thou

That has to be a pretty recent development, because I have lived here for 5 years and I have never seen a number written like that. Sometimes you will see numbers written with the corresponding kanji after every four digits, like 1億2345万678

That is truly impressive. In my mind, it would be smarter to use the AI to tune the 3D model, and then let a rendering algorithm like this generate the final image.
