change.
• Only the full-byte characters that correspond to the half-byte characters listed in Appendix
4.1 can be converted. An “Illegal function call” error occurs if full-byte characters other
than those are included.

(@, @, etc.) are converted, Kana characters and voiced sound symbols or semivoiced
sound symbols are separated.
