#Wordlists
##Wordlists (Special Considerations)
###Japanese
-
Users will most likely separate the words with UTF-8 ideographic space.
(UTF-8 bytes: 0xE38080) When generating the seed, normalization as per the spec will automatically change these into normal ASCII spaces. Depending on the font, displaying the words should use the UTF-8 ideographic space if it looks like the symbols are too close. -
Word-wrapping doesn't work well, so making sure that words only word-wrap at one of the
ideographic spaces may be a necessary step. As a long word split in two could be mistaken easily
for two smaller words (This would be a problem with any of the 3 character sets in Japanese)
###Spanish
-
Words can be uniquely determined typing the first 4 characters (sometimes less).
-
Special Spanish characters like 'ñ', 'ü', 'á', etc... are considered equal to 'n', 'u', 'a', etc... in terms of identifying a word. Therefore, there is no need to use a Spanish keyboard to introduce the passphrase, an application with the Spanish wordlist will be able to identify the words after the first 4 chars have been typed even if the chars with accents have been replaced with the equivalent without accents.
-
There are no words in common between the Spanish wordlist and any other language wordlist, therefore it is possible to detect the language with just one word.
