About typing in Japanese

If your BlackBerry® Device Software supports Japanese, you can type in Japanese using the Romanji input method. To facilitate typing in Japanese, your BlackBerry device is designed to support word completion and next word prediction. As you type Hiragana, a list of possible Hiragana and Kanji words appears on the screen. You can select a word from the list, or you can convert the text to Kanji or Katakana.

Your device is designed to 'learn' new character combinations as you type. After you type a word, a list of possible next words appears on the screen.

Your device is also designed to support many Japanese symbols. The most common symbols appear in the symbol list on your device. You can type symbols that do not appear in the symbol list using the character codes that are available in the user guide for your device.
