+# Japanese handwritten characters aren't recognized using Microsoft.Ink.Recognizer
+
+## Symptoms
+
+When using `Microsoft.Ink.Recognizer` as the recognition engine on Windows 11 version 24H2 and Windows Server 2025, you might encounter the following issues:
+
+- Issue 1
+
+  The Japanese handwritten characters aren't recognized correctly.
+
+  For example, when you handwrite Japanese `カスイ`, the result is `カイ`, which isn't expected.
+
+- Issue 2
+
+  When you perform character recognition with specified stroke data, the specified character range isn't correctly applied.
+
+  For example, when you handwrite `あいう`, specify the character range as `ラ リ ル レ ロ`, and then execute handwritten character recognition, the actual result is `あいう`. However, the expected result is `ロロラ`.
+
+## Status
+
+Microsoft has confirmed this is a problem in Windows 11 version 24H2 and Windows Server 2025.
