I am not a speaker of either but aren't kanji and written Chinese the same language? It's like French and English, you can use the same keyboard except for certain diacritics. What's so special about Japanese that it can't be displayed by Unicode? Unicode seems to work fine for Korean and Chinese, and Japanese is basically a hybrid of those two.

If the Unicode standard has space for an ever-expanding list of emojis, they can fix their rendering issues with the Japanese language too.
