Field notes

The tool takes simplified or traditional Chinese characters rather than requiring a Chinese keyboard, then keeps passport romanisation separate from Japanese kanji readings. Its hotel mode inserts a traveler’s name and dates into phrases that can be read aloud or shown as a saved image. The page attributes its character data to Unicode Unihan and says it was regression-tested against 5,000 annotated Chinese names from Japanese Wikipedia, while warning that rare characters may need direct confirmation.
