Re: font/unicode question

What do you mean? The font is called Hiragana Regular. The characters in
question are Hiragana (Japanese) letters. Most of the Hiragana set is in the
regular keyboard with some in Alt codes. Just a few are inaccessable to me,
but without them, I don't have access to the whole set of Hiragana letters.
