Many dedicated Japanese language word processors offer the Cyrillic
alphabet. Why, I don't know. I suppose once you've made allowance for
7000 or so characters, another 32 or so is no big deal. Of course, they
also offer the roman alphabet with the various characters and
diacritical marks needed for most European languages.
