How to use and features

Check Japanese text for characters that can break older forms, email systems, or submission workflows, then review suggested safer replacements.

What it helps with

  • Check text before sending Japanese email campaigns
  • Review text before pasting into Japanese forms
  • Find characters that may cause mojibake before document submission
  • Review common characters such as ①, ②, ㈱, ㈲, 髙, 﨑, Ⅰ, Ⅱ, ㍉, and ㌔

FAQ

Does this detect every risky Unicode character?

No. It focuses on a practical set of common Japanese compatibility and environment-dependent characters.

Are replacements always correct?

No. Variant kanji are preserved by default. Include them in replacements only after checking the required spelling of names, company names, and official documents.

Does this upload text?

No. Character checking runs in your browser and input is not sent to a server.
