[About AI Conversion]
This function provides predictive conversion that considers context, which was challenging with traditional kanji conversion and Japanese input methods. Since this process is computationally intensive on smartphones, the conversion is handled by AI operated by IO Inc. on servers within Japan. Input data is processed solely by AI, with no human access. Additionally, this input key is used only for conversion purposes and not for any other use. All data utilized by the AI is processed exclusively within Japan and is promptly discarded after use.
[How to Search Emoticons]
1. "わ", "ら", "う".
2. Tap the bear/search icon on the left side of the keyboard before committing.
