This kind of false information is why many Japanese continue to love to hate
Unicode.  If you were actually on the Unicode mailing list, you wouldn't be
repeating garbage like this.

I have a radical suggestion: how about instead of the Japanese
stereotypically repeating "Unicode hates Japanese!" and the non-Japanese
stereotypically repeating "Japanese hate Unicode!", let's look at this
based on facts...?

Sign up and send a message about the mapping tables.  You will get an answer.
