To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing embedded software to control a print head. The software must
support the following languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. It is my understanding that all of
these languages except Japanese can be supported with the basic Latin and
Latin Supplement subset of Unicode (U+0000 ... U+00FF [traditional ASCII]).
Is this correct?

The Japanese I must support is the Kanji form. What subset of Unicode is
used to represent this? I cannot support Unicode in its entirety due to
memory constraints.

Thanks for your help!
