ABOUT







Gaiji

Characters not normally available in Japanese fonts. In the glyph shown on the right (example borrowed from Philip Ronan), we read Mori Ogai, an author who lived from 1862 until 1922. The middle kanji, the "O", which means seagull, is an old kanji character that no longer forms part of the standard set of JIs-approved characters, yet Mori used to write his name with it. One has to look for special fonts to find the "gaiji" glyphs.
