If my understanding is correct, (at least) the most commonly used kana
characters are included in the standard.

An interesting thing is that the standard character set also includes
English, Greek, and Cyrillic characters.

I believe there are ROM kanji fonts available but I don't think that
you could just plug them into a PC card (if that is what you were
thinking of).
