• "TwoByteSyntaxCharacterAutoReplacement" is an option for cells that determines if specified types of Japanese input should be interpreted as regular ASCII characters instead of Japanese characters denoted by two-byte Kanji codes.
• When entering Japanese text using Kanji mode, certain characters look similar to regular ASCII characters such as "[" or "]". With the setting "TwoByteSyntaxCharacterAutoReplacement" True, such characters are interpreted as regular ASCII characters, instead of two-byte Kanji characters. This avoids the need to switch out of Kanji mode for typing common characters, thereby speeding up the typing of input. • With the setting "TwoByteSyntaxCharacterAutoReplacement" False, all characters are interpreted as two-byte Kanji characters, when typing in Kanji mode. • With the default setting "TwoByteSyntaxCharacterAutoReplacement" Automatic, input cells have "TwoByteSyntaxCharacterAutoReplacement" True while all other types of cells have "TwoByteSyntaxCharacterAutoReplacement" False.
True, such characters are interpreted as regular ASCII characters, instead of two-byte Kanji characters. This avoids the need to switch out of Kanji mode for typing common characters, thereby speeding up the typing of input.
