| \title{Japanese characters in R} |
| \description{ |
| The implementation of Hershey vector fonts provides a large number of |
| Japanese characters (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji). |
| } |
| \details{ |
| Without keyboard support for typing Japanese characters, the only way |
| to produce these characters is to use special escape sequences: see |
| \code{\link{Hershey}}. |
| |
| For example, the Hiragana character for the sound "ka" is produced |
| by \samp{\\\\#J242b} and the Katakana character for this sound is |
| produced by \samp{\\\\#J252b}. The Kanji ideograph for "one" is |
| produced by \samp{\\\\#J306c} or \samp{\\\\#N0001}. |
| |
| The output from \code{\link{demo}(Japanese)} shows tables of the escape |
| sequences for the available Japanese characters. |
