The native2ascii converter in JDK 1.2 allows to use half-width
katakana characters. It works fine.
But I don't understand why you use characters in surrogate
area. Half-width katakana characters are allocated in halfwidth and
fullwidth form area of Unicode, not surrogate area.
If you use use-defined characters such as "Gaiji", you must make your
own converter.
