"helps web browsers display it correctly" Which browsers have problems displaying kanji and are helped by this template? --Apoc2400 (talk) 21:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you view a web page in English which contains a kanji character, the browser needs to pick an appropriate font. This template suggests to the browser that it should select a Japanese font for the character. Without the template, the browser won't know this and might select a different font (my browser selects a Chinese font), making the text look wrong. For example, compare (Japanese) with (Hong Kong Chinese). For me, the character looks quite different depending on the language of the font. This is also a bit annoying when editing Wikipedia pages since the 神 character is displayed as its kyūjitai form in the edit box. (Stefan2 (talk) 20:53, 16 October 2011 (UTC))[reply]
