Kana are the syllabic Japanese scripts, as opposed to the logographic Chinese characters known in Japan as kanji (漢字) and the Roman alphabet known as rōmaji.

Check whether a string contains Japanese/Chinese characters
I need a way to check whether a string contains Japanese or Chinese text.
Currently I'm using this:
