Copy and pasting random japanese characters seem to work fine here. Could you
please check if konsole is using Unicode? (Right click set encoding), also the
output of:
set | egrep -a '^(LC_|LANG)'
Could be of use.
Also, it might be worth testing a different font. Dejavu Sans Mono is probably
the most complete font available, so start with that one. Other fonts rely on
the fontconfig fallbacks to produce the characters that are not defined.
Happy hacking,
