- Despite what many language books, friends, or online tutorials may have told you, Japanese is NOT simple, easy, or even sensical (Japanese vocabulary is determined by throwing tiny pieces of sushi at a dart board with several random syllables attatched to it).
- How Japanese is Coded for Computer Display In order to display Japanese kanji and kana characters on your computer, you need programs that can accommodate one of the three basic Japanese encoding methods: JIS, shift-JIS, or EUC (Extended UNIX Code).
- However, the number of characters in Japanese is much more than 256, and hence Japanese cannot be encoded using only one byte, and Japanese is thus encoded using two or more bytes, in a so-called "double byte" or "multi-byte" encoding,.
- However, unlike other languages, Japanese is unique to both linguists and to the people speaking the language.
- Despite the complexity of the orthography, however, Japanese is not hard to learn.
