Unicode range for Japanese - unicode

Question

I am trying to separate English and Japanese characters. I need to find Unicode range of all Japanese characters. What is Unicode range of all Japanese characters ?

Answer 1

As zawhtut mentioned, this page has a reference for several unicode ranges. To summarize the ranges:
Japanese-style punctuation ( 3000 - 303f)
Hiragana ( 3040 - 309f)
Katakana ( 30a0 - 30ff)
Full-width roman characters and half-width katakana ( ff00 - ffef)
CJK unifed ideographs - Common and uncommon kanji ( 4e00 - 9faf)

Answer 2

Although this question already has an answer, this blog post is probably more complete.

Answer 3

Please see this page for a reference. It contains Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji unicode ranges.

Answer 4

CJK(Chinese Japanese and Korean), Hiragana and Katakana(include Halfwidth Katakana)

Answer 5

What is Unicode range of all Japanese characters?
Have a look at page of The WiLI benchmark dataset for written
language identification, especially table II. The number in bracket is the part of the language you capture with the Unicode code range (in decimal).
12352 - 12543: Japanese (48.73%), English (0.00%)
19000 - 44000: Japanese (32.78%), English (0.00%)
20 - 128: English (99.74%), Japanese (11.58%)
You can see that 20 - 128 captures English really well and that all 3 blocks are important for Japanese, but still big parts are missing.
Those numbers are created with lidtk and WiLI-2018.
