Firstly, I suggest you avoid using the term "4-byte Japanese characters", since that has no meaning except in the context of some encoding, like UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, etc. In Java, all String objects are encoded in UTF-16 as 16-bit code units. So BMP characters use one 16-bit code unit, and non-BMP characters use two 16-bit code units, i.e., an upper and lower surrogate.
Hiragana characters are encoded in the BMP in the range U+3040 to U+309F [1], Katakana in U+30A0 to U+30FF [2], and CJK Ideographs starting at U+4E00. [1] http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U3040.pdf [2] http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U30A0.pdf [3] http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U4E00.pdf For external FO files, or XML files you will translate to FO via XSLT, you should use the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode, and ensure that you provide a correct XML declaration at the beginning of your file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> I also suggest that you ensure the presence of the UTF-8 encoding of the BOM [4] at the beginning of the file: 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF.
