Japanese {grDevices} | R Documentation |
The implementation of Hershey vector fonts provides a large number of Japanese characters (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji).
Without keyboard support for typing Japanese characters, the only way
to produce these characters is to use special escape sequences: see
Hershey
.
For example, the Hiragana character for the sound "ka" is produced
by \\#J242b
and the Katakana character for this sound is
produced by \\#J252b
. The Kanji ideograph for "one" is
produced by \\#J306c
or \\#N0001
.
The output from demo(Japanese)
shows tables of the escape
sequences for the available Japanese characters.
