Cool, I'm not the only one checking for those single byte characters!!
But according to the Unicode Standard it can get hairy, especially if
you are using keitais which define some of their own characters!
(And some do!)
And there are some non-Japanese high-byte characters that are double
byte as well according to Unicode. So my code got a little complicated there.
(I'm using Javascript and Java for my stuff instead of perl).
(Maybe thats overkill. You probably don't need to be aware of
those things).
