just saw this. I've got no idea how kanji ocr works but I do know enough japanese to know what most of those characters are attempting to refer to, my penmanship has certainly been that bad. I still don't understand how it would make its way into the standard unless that part wasn't written by someone who is competent in japanese.

I wonder how often that happens - surely there's tons of people dealing with japanese text who can't read it and just use diligence to make sure the "letters are the same"
