Japan’s Information-technology Promotion Agency and the industry ministry have concluded a 15-year project to enable computers to handle all kanji characters.
They have assigned universal codes and registered 60,000 characters based on international standards.
Distinctive universal codes need to be assigned to individual characters and letters so that computers can handle them.
The codes were initially allocated to only 10,000 kanji characters.
Computer makers have assigned codes that make it possible for their products to display some of the remaining characters.
