About Japanese Font

Japanese is the language spoken by Japanese people in Japan as well as Japanese communities in other countries. Different from most other languages, Japanese language’s writing system mainly consists of three scripts:hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. The Latin alphabet called rōmaji is also heavily used in recently years, especially in company name, advertising etc. In Japanese, each script has its own functions. Kanji are complex symbols mainly adopted from logographic Chinese characters, and they are used to write most content words. However, a kanji and a Chinese character may be the same in form but have completely different meanings. Hiragana are rounded symbols used for grammatical words, including particles. While Katakana is mainly used for indicating a reading of a kanji in a dictionary or transcription of other borrowed foreign language words etc. Hiragana and Katakana script each contains 46 symbols, while kanji is said to include 50,000 characters, of which 3500 are commonly used.
