#3One of the tables seem to show characters that are in Unicode BMP but not in JIS X 0208 (many I think came from JIS X 0212). Another table of course show characters not in the BMP.

For those of us who don't read Japanese, can you explain what the four characters in question mean?

They're katakana characters, used mainly for transcribing foreign words. シ is "shi", ツ is "tsu", ン is "n" and ソ is "so".

No meaning per se, these are from the katakana syllabic alphabet. They make the sounds "tsu" (ツ), "shi" (シ), "so" (ソ) and "n" (ン).

They are phonetic characters, so they don't mean anything. シ (shi), ツ (tsu), ノ (no), ソ (so) and ン (n), all in katakana (used to write loan words and slang).

Not a Japanese reader so i can't fill you in on what exactly the characters mean but they are characters from the Japanese katakana script. Katakana are generally used for loanwords and each character represents a sound:
ツ - tsu
シ - shi
ソ - so
ン - n
The reason these are difficult to learn is because the tiny differences in stroke angles (especially when handwritten) make it easy to confuse them.

#9Interesting read. Chinese characters and chinese character-like characters can be quickly hard to deal with as soon as you leave the BMP plan. The ids.txt file (Kanji database) is really a lifesaver in this case.

#10The reason the second Japanese character is censored out of the title seems to be that having a character outside the BMP in the title broke everything horribly, not because of actual censorship of swearing or something.
I wonder how long it will be until UTF-8 is used everywhere and non-BMP characters enjoy first-class support and testing. You'd think the U+1Fxxx emoji would have been enough to make this happen.
