java.lang.Character.UnicodeBlock class is useful class to detect the
character kind.

What does it mean? If you configure fontconfig.properties, you could
display katakana, hiragana and kanji with tonpuu gothic/mincho to use
general java font set such as Dialog, Serif, etc.

If you configure fontconfig.properties right, you could use Japanese
character without special font set. You don't have to specify special
font set here. You can use Japanese with ngeneral pre-defined font set
in Java like Dialog, Serif, Monoscaped and etc.
