Can anyone tell me if the romanized Japanese in my motto is correct?
"Watakushi wa Sensou to Heiwa ni Ketsugou desu"
It's supposed to say, In War and Peace We Are United, but I've only taken one year of Japanese, so...
yah. Any language people out there?

I don't think NS can handle Japanese letters in mottos. Lemme go check...
EDIT:
NS can't handle special characters and such, at least for me.

It can't handle unicode?

Hmm, it appears it can handle some special characters, but not many.
If I put in the characters "®Ғץờ" into my motto, "®& #1170;& #1509;& #7901"; happens.I had to put in spacs to make it not display the special characters in the second block of text.
Then again, Japanese lettering isn't actually in the special characters as I naively thought it would be, so it may be a moot point anyway. If it requires a separate font, then NS definately won't handle it, that I know of.
EDIT:
My nation:

In my browser, at least, it doesn't display the special chars in the motto, other than the "®".
