Poorly written Japanese button text
Emoji has several Japanese buttons, but the characters they contain are poorly written. I am Japanese, but it is difficult to explain in English. π―:Totally poor. π:The bottom four points must not be placed in an arc. γοΈ,γοΈ:The left and right radical of kanji are too far apart. π:The "ζ₯" in the upper right corner is too large. π³:Poor Contrast.
Also, most of the characters is not snapped to the top and bottom center.
Dear @maekawa-mugi, many thanks for pointing this out! As we don't have a clue about these Japanese buttons (nor can the team read/write Japanese) ... it would be great if you could provide a PR and fixes on them.
If anyone would like to take on this task, the following may prove helpful:
Here is a list of Japanese characters that appear in emojis: γ³γ³,γ΅,ζ,ζ,ζ,εΎ,ε²,η‘,ε―,η³,ε,η©Ί,η₯,η§,εΆ,ζΊ
And for inspiration, here is a comparison of how they appear in several rounded sans-serif typefaces:
Resource Han Rounded looks the most natural.
As Korean which uses Chinese characters(/or kanji /or hanja), I also understand the problems. Those emojis look quite unnatural.
