so, it seems you people aren't having problems so i guess I need to look more into getting Kanji to show up
the translhextion bug of dual bytes across lines is a bug...not sure how that can be fixed though--the source code is over 20,000 lines  |

I had no problem inputting kanji in Translhextion.
The only thing that bothered me -- and thinking about it, it probably can't/shouldn't be "fixed" -- was that kanji are double-byte characters, so if the first byte is at the end of a line, Translhextion won't know to combine it with the first byte on the next line to form a single character. |

How could it not have Kanji support?  It only needs to get the character number and pass it to a text-drawing function. |

The problem with both of those programs is Translhextion has no kanji support and windhex doesn't display the right characters and I'm not going to enter 500+ table entries by hand |

The thing with Translhextion is that allowing Japanese isn't the default. You have to set it manually, but it's there. |

As far as I know, Translhextion lets you see japanese characters...
Anyways, another (even better) option is WindHex by Bongo`, from Stealth Translations, which has japanese support among other great things.
Have fun! |

You could probably hack one's source pretty easily to support Unicode table files. I have no idea how to actually draw Japanese text with the API though. 
Tip: Unicode text files begin with the byte sequence 0xFF, 0xFE. |
