Japanese text is composed of kana (hiragana and katakana) and kanji (characters). Kanji characters have multiple readings, and the Unicode ordering of these characters is arbitrary. Thus, to sort kanji characters in a truly meaningful way, it is necessary to sort by the kana (phonetic syllabary) reading intended for each character.
The option parameter determines whether Furigana converts the specified text to hiragana, katakana, or roman (romaji) text.
Option | Converts text to |
1 | Hiragana |
2 | Full-width katakana |
3 | Full-width roman (romaji) |
4 | Half-width katakana |
5 | Half-width roman (romaji) |
