Package nihongo implements simple transliteration between romaji and the two syllabic Japanese scripts, hiragana and katakana, encoded as UTF-8-encoded Unicode. Romaji output may include injected spaces to separate converted text from unconverted, and other markers. Invalid sequences, such as small kanas with no preceding kana, are passed unaltered. Hiragana and katakana may be inaccurate due to false matches. Katakana may be further inaccurate because of the inability to generate the tsu consonant-extending symbol.
