Messing Around With Japanese Text

This is just a little experiment to see if I can post Japanese text with this thing.

はい! まにあさん!

As near as I can tell, it appears to have worked! This was just a simple copy and paste job. I entered the text using the Unitype Global Writer (in romaji) then copy and paste in here. What does it say? It says "Yes! Mr. Mania!"

Update:

BTW, you won’t see the characters properly unless you have Japanese language support installed. If you are running Windows, the easiest way to get this is to go to Yahoo Japan using Internet Explorer. A dialogue will pop up asking if you want to install the language support. Just follow the instructions from there. You might be able to get the language support kits via Windows Update, but that didn’t work for me.
