Usage

This template marks the kanji segment as being in Japanese kanji and/or kana, which helps user agents (web browsers and so on) to display it correctly. It also applies the t_nihongo_kanji CSS class.

For more details on when to use this template, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles).
