Which tool are you using for that? Looks like a Chrome extension or perhaps Google Input Tools.

Just my mac's hiragana input

I used the Mac OS X built-in Hiragana keyboard and wrote types in roman
characters "kon" and pressed the space bar, which gets it to コン
I was trying to type konnichi こんにち.
Hope that helps?

Trying to reproduce the issue, I was not able to input the same character
of the video and crash the editor as described in the issue description.
Can you please share with me the input used, @o-fernandez

Anyway, typing some Japanese characters from "Hiragana" keyboard, it
reported console errors and did not persist the respective Japanese
characters typed. It seems a draftjs known issue, which I am looking to
workaround.
