Does this module support Japanese characters (kanji, hiragana, katakana)?

Does this module work with the latest 4.7 release of Drupal?

If you have a japanese word dictionary, I think it can work for japanese. But I have no one and I can't test, Because I don't know japanese.

This module have not test for 4.7, I'll test it as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention.

The dictionary file I know of is a popular japanese to english dictionary found at
http://ftp.monash.edu.au/pub/nihongo/00INDEX.html
There's a single entry per line version and an xml version.
I could put together a quick php5 script to make a japanese only file. Would that be helpful?
Unfortunately, I got only ? marks when reading your dict.txt file. What encoding is the file?

The dictionary should be UTF-8 because drupal use it for all text.
one word should occupy one line in dictionary.
a must-splitter-word word, such as interpunction and auxiliary, should be put in filter.txt.

if you have a japanese dictionary like that, send it to me (i.zealy at gmail dot com). I can perform basic test for you. But I can't sure its really correct, for I don't know japanese.

I'm not sure what you mean by "must-splitter-word" but I'll make a file with one japanese word per line. The majority of kanji (chinese characters) should match, but Japanese has very different grammar. Perhaps I'll make the file to not include such grammar, rather just kanji and non-kanji words. It's like searching for "shop" instead of "shopping".... maybe. I don't know Japanese either!

Ok, I wait your dictionary. Let's try it. But if we don't know japanese, how can we sure the output is correct?

Hi, we are Japanese and having hard time using the search function in Japanese. It doesn't work alright. We are very grateful if you can make your Chinese Word splitter for japanese version too. I have no idea about dictionary but we can check it if it works alright.

Please make it work and tell me when you done. We will try test it and let you know it works OK or not.

Thanks,
H
