- Furigana
Excel has a "Phonetic" function that returns transliteration of kanji
characters into hiragana. Some kanji characters can have ambiguous
transliteration and the default function is returning the most probable
transliteration. Nevertheless, one can specify property of a group
characters, called furigana that specifies a transliteration of this
group of characters.
The PHONETIC function is highly problematic as the results depend on the input that was given with the IME (Input Method Editor), so actually the state of the IME is to be saved along with the string it produced. It also depends on the feature set of the IME, so cross-platform it would be even more problematic. For these reasons the ODF OpenFormula subcommittee refrained from adding the PHONETIC function to the specification. Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer.
