Thanks for the link Markus, but unless I'm missing something, that just goes over line breaking/wrapping, not detecting word boundaries. So it looks like the Cocoa/CoreFoundation frameworks don't have what's needed for this, but after some digging it seems ICU does: http://userguide.icu-project.org/boundaryanalysis I can just drop down to using the libicu C functions (eg: ubrk_open). Using "ja_JP" there seems to do the trick.
